    What is more comfortable after driving 700 miles a straight truck or sprinter?

    Also I noticed on mine that it's rather finicky about how the weight is distributed between the 3 sets of axles. When everything is even on a cat scale, the ride is awesome. when it's heavier on the drives or trailer it's bad. Also I go through a set of shocks on my truck in about 100k-120k...

    Satelite TV

    something of note. I just got the tailgater for my TT about a month ago, and have no dish subscription at home. If you don't have it at home and sign up for it for mobile use only, there are no promotional packages. I pay $121 a month for it and includes every channel available including movie...

    What the sun can do to you face when driving at truck.

    It is legal to tint a commercial vehicle as long as it lets through 70% of light (or 30% tint) I have 35% on both sides of my T/T and no mentions of it. Been on there forever. As long *** you don't go limo dark you should be good...

    Get your ducks lined up!

    Don't know if anyone noticed this yet, but couple years ago us drivers only used to be "harassed" right around DOT days. Now, with this economy, there are random days that random states decide to be out everywhere for that day. And I mean everywhere they can. Difference is if you get pulled in...

    Rand McNally TND 710 - Anyone?

    i have the 710, and love it. It once in a while freezes up on you, but only when stationary for a long period of time. they just came out with an update to the software on the device and it makes the thing a lot faster, more responsive, smoother colors and all in all faster operation. i haven't...

    bargaining with the dealer

    08 with anything around 500k should cost you no more than $28-32k. depending on condition, make/model, service records, warranties etc. My volvo 780 cost me 52k, with 389k miles. now with 542k it's probably worth about 45ish. these hold their value like a rock. kw, ok truck, but not best on...

    Hi all! Just got here as fast as I could.

    Looks like this expediting might start a lot sooner than I taught. My truck broke down (blew a turbo) and the dealer gave me a heart attack to boot with the quote, so right now my truck is sitting, and I'm looking for a job to fix my truck up or to change careers. Anyone hiring for their vans...

    Hi all! Just got here as fast as I could.

    No Sir! I'm based out of Fishkill, NY but the road is my home 3-4 weeks out of a month. :) Any Ex truck drivers that got into a van have any advice? From what I've read on here most have trouble adjusting to sitting a lot. That probably won't be a problem. thx Attila

    Hi all! Just got here as fast as I could.

    Hello fellow freight haulers! I'm quite interested in becoming an expediter in a sprinter some day. I currently own a Volvo VNL780 Tractor and am pulling various freight, mostly reefers and dry vans. I'm happy at the company I'm at right now, and am planning to move into expediting within the...
