https://www.trucknews.com/business-management/tfi-international-buys-ups-freight-in-800m-blockbuster/1003148427/ Guess I'll have all the weird outlier deliveries I can handle going forward (I'm under the Transforce umbrella)

:p bad pun I know, not my strong suit For anyone who has had the yellow abs lights on a sprinter, this is the updated part (1000x thicker) that might finally save me from a hundred "resets" of the transmission a day Continuing on my quest of a perfect 2005 while things are slow

Where is the April thread? Did WOM's exit destroy a tradition? It's the 3rd For locations, I'm working locally (Southern Ontario) and hiding in my house in between. I have the "get out of jail" paper too saying I can cross border and drive interstate. But, I'm not entering a country taking this...

No Steering Wheel, No Driver, No Problem: Feds Approve First Ever Truly Driverless Vehicle - TruckersReport.com

US DOT approves Nuro's next-gen driverless delivery vehicle design

Truth be told, I think this started a very long time ago. Checked under the cover in 2017 maybe? This is what it looked like after a good soaking with oven cleaner Better, right? :laughing: So, first I cleaned as much crud as possible with a pick, blowing it out with a can of compressed...

Situation: say I have a 33,000 GVWR straight, and the rear axle is 21,000 I add a 20,000 pusher axle I'm at a scale getting a level 1, weighed in at 40,000 lb on rears. (20k on each axle) (Magically the front is 12k on a 12k axle) What happens? Am I legal? With a tandem, am I limited to 34k...

Can't think of a better way to solidify understanding of a gearbox than to build one

Along the lines of The Sharper Image I just wanted to pass on a new favorite time waster Lots of overpriced gadgets of dubious value for your viewing pleasure...

https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/trucker-shortage-under-21_n_5c953d8de4b057f7330aa71f I have mixed feelings about the 18 year olds (I used to be one) but the statistics don't lie

Seems like there's enough stations. Build it already. 600 mile range off 30 minute charge

So I hear and experience what everyone else does...rates down, lack of freight, too much competition etc. EXCEPT where locals are concerned... I'd like you to take a look at these Bureau of Transportation statistics and tell me your thoughts. I was pretty surprised to learn this...

More in the "things I've always wanted to ask" category Why do so many advertise hiring new O/O for being on the road so long? Example "3 weeks out before going home" Now I'm not new, and can guess why a driver would be required to... But owner-ops? What if a guy wants to work 1 run a week...

It's come to my attention, that the DOT inspection standard is a pretty low bar. Anyone crossing into Canada, do the scales inspect according to the DOT standard here? Or does Canada have its own rules? Yes I'm Canadian, but never having been inspected I have no idea (My assumption that it...

Dipping my toe in the water. I freely admit I know absolutely nothing about anything larger than a van. After lots of google searches, I find talk of large high torque motors + tall gears and direct drive. But those mpg (just under 12) match what I've heard the smallest straights under 26k are...

Or, how GM has made it pointless... I may have posted about this before, but this is a much more in depth article. See why I think this would make everything else outdated Moving More With Less: Why Four-Cylinders Are Coming to Full-Size Trucks
