Found this video on you tube and thought others would like to see the behind the scenes of a weigh station.

For those who have a lift gate. You may want to watch this. LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j83zZD41PIA

Just a curious question. Those who have an automatic transmission in a straight truck and have the manual over ride do you ever use the over ride? In other words is there any recommended time to switch it to manual. I have been using it more often in congested areas, monitoring my RPMS. Also...

Asking for help finding a used 16' box that is 102" wide. I currently have a 96" wide box and finding I am losing lots of load opportunities because my inside dimension is only 92". I know they make the size I am looking for but they seem to be a unicorn as used. Any help or suggestions would be...

This should be renamed "sprinter driver". I could name a few on here that are on the verge of this. LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdhlRtMGEp8

I know a lot of guys have bikes that are drivers. Post a picture of it for all to see. Here is mine. 07 Harley Street Glide.

Having not been in a straight truck for long and Load 1 providing a free wash bay, I have never used a commercial truck wash. My questions are this. Do they offer interior cleaning at the blue beacons or the Iowa 80's and if so what does it entail and how much?

Just a curious question. Has anyone ever had to replace or add landing gear to a truck and if so what brand would you recommend?

Anyone using one of these systems? What is the best out there that is not tied into a security system? What is the cheapest? Looking at possibly getting one of these that will monitor the temperature in the house while I am out on the road. I have people that check on it from time to time but I...

I made it 1 month short of 6 full years with Express-1. It was very enjoyable for the most part but find myself unable to get over the changes that took place this spring. I enjoyed all of the people who work in the office. You will be missed greatly. I started as a newbie with no experience...

The nat gas revolution begins- MSN Money I noticed one of these filling stations at the J in Gary, IN. Sounds like a good idea to me.

While driving around 1 am Saturday morning I was going thru an area and the posted speed limit was 55. However, when I approached a school zone I noticed the warning lights were flashing indicating it should be 35 mph. Knowing that it was 1am on a Saturday morning in July that something must...

Need to know the good, the bad, and the ugly about this truck. Here are the specs. Engine - international dt466e Trans - Allison 2100hs 5 speed automatic GVWR - 25,999 - 10,000 front, 17,500 rear I figure my final payload will be some where between 7000 and 9000 lbs. Looking at an...

Looking at buying a straight truck and building my own sleeper in it. I have everything figured out accept the 2-3 inch gap between the cab and the box. My questions are, does the box need to move independently from the ? If so what would be the best way to seal this space from the weather? Some...

I think I have stumbled across new tactics that express-1 has instituted that will help bolster their bottom line. Since March 1st we have been offered 3 loads of greater than 3000 lbs. We have a payload capacity of 3340 so we were able to do them if we chose too but I turned down 2 of them. The...

Todays conference call with new rates. Your thoughts. I will reserve my thoughts until I can personally talk with someone but I have towed the line for quite awhile but the gloves may come off.

With the thread that was shut down last week there was an aspect of it that got me to thinking. I may be out of the loop as do the big guys use factoring? I would hope not. And I would not work for someone who has to factor to pay me on a weekly basis. This indicates to me the company is...

Besides the obvious EO what is your most viewed web site? I was going to title this "Your favorite web site" but thought for a moment and it may not be your favorite. I seem to be drawn to the weather sites. Before any run I first check the national radar. Look to see if there is any fowl...

Not sure how many of you Michiganders saw his ad but I did and it intregued me enough to look him up online. After reading his web site I am very impressed. I think he has the right mind set to save our great lake state. The only reason I see that his "plans" won't work is if he can't get the...

I have put off posting this thread for awhile. I am going to be vague but sometime in the last 2 months we took a load and it had the amount that was paid for shipping on it. Now I know we have had many discussions about why we lost our dime and when will it come back but I did the math and if...
