We switched from cable to satellite a couple of weeks ago and my wife ask the installer if I could have TV in my truck from a satellite dish. He said, if we buy the satellite box ($75) and a dish ($25) and I figure a way to mount and position it that it would cost us an aditional $5.00 per...

Does anyone know what tractor would have the best turning radius? Somewhere on here something was said about the T600 haveing a tight radius, and it seems like I read that the Volvo does to. So if you had a Volvo, KW T600, Argosey, Int. 9800 CEO and a KW K100E all with the same wheelbase (165"...

Well there is was being pulled by an older redish KW T600 with a 32'...

I was going north on I-75 in Ohio last night and it looked like High School just got out and everyone that had a car was hitting the road. Except it was Expediters and their vans, sprinters, Straight Trucks and T/T's. Everybody was running south and I saw tons of vans from Tri-State and...

Is anyone using a phone card like Verizon or Alltel or the others sell for $50 to $200.00 and conecting just like your phone? I've used Flying J's and Panera's and figured that there might be a little savings there, even after the service charge of $60.00 a month. Flying J's is $4.95 a day and...

I've been thinking about the cost involved in "a" truck, and how to put that into a budget. I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb figure. Like say $2000.00 If your truck payment is $1000.00 Rebuild engine in 4 years $275.00 Tires in 2 years, $150.00 Transmission in 5 years, $100.00...

Hi guys: I like to make spreadsheets. I'm not that good at it but I like to do it. I'm up-loading this one to have you see what I've done wrong. First of all I know 300 miles a day doesn't happen at least all the time. I also know that you don't eat $30 of food a day. BUT, what's wrong with...
