Thank you. Took your advice and purchased a Freightliner. Less miles, larger sleeper. Awesome truck. We are actually able to pass going uphill without having to pull over to the shoulder and let the engine cool back down.

Well it's official. I am taking the plunge. I am turning in my notice at my current employer on Monday and the following Monday I will be driving 2nd seat with my buddy. All the paperwork is done and I have been approved by his carrier. I also have an appointment to test for my regular class...

Thank you for the good advice. I do not actually own the truck. I drive team with the owner. He and I have discussed it at length and based on the cost we are going to replace the head gasket. Other than that the truck is in really good shape because we take care of it. Thanks again.

Hello all, I have a maintenance question that I could really use some help on. I have a 2007 Hino 338 with a leaking head gasket which is causing my engine to run hot. The question that I am posing is this...would it be better to have the head gasket fixed for around $3500 or just suck it up...

Okay I have a friend who is an O/O and he has asked me to team with him. I got my permit and talked to his carrier. His carrier said that I can come on board with them but that until I get my regular license I will be considered 2nd seat and not a team driver. What is the difference and is...

That is great advice. Thank you. My only hesitation with teaming with this particular friend is his work ethic. He likes to be home every weekend and doesn't seem to take as many loads as he could. If I am going to quit my current job then I want it to be better for me financially.

I am 44 years old, a retired police officer and now I want to go OTR as an expediter. I just obtained my Class B permit which will allow me to co-drive with someone who has their Class B license. I have a friend who is an owner operator who wants me to drive with him, but I also want to see if...
