Do you know if any of the Sunday night or Monday night football and maybe NASCAR are avalible like this to?

On the subject of cost per mile... Last year (I think) Overdrive had an article about cost's, and they divided them up into 4 or 5 catagories. Fuel = 39% Profit = 36% Truck payment = 14% and the remaining 11% was for Lic, Ins, Maint. etc. In the catagory of fuel, How many of you (especially...

If you go to a single axel trailer wouldn't that defet the reason for the longer trailer? I know - longer trailer means more freight but shouldn't it mean heavyer freight (if avalible) also? If you have a single axel would you have to put dollies on the back?

This thread is where I'm going with the thread on "turning radius". A KW K100 with 170" WB hooked to a 28' trailer would be about 41'. Add the extra feet for a 30' or 32' or 36' and you can still drop and go through Micky D's drive through. My next question though is how stable is a short...

According to MI's. Bridge book we're only supposed to have 700lbs. per inch of width of tire. Is it different in each state?

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"...

Maybe this is the time to use the ATT temp. and Pressure caps that they had at the expo in July. $520 is a bit much but they can be passed on to other trucks when you buy another one. You never have to loose pressure by testing though.

Thanks to all. Terry, do you think the 2500# did the trick or could it be a lighter pressure? I've got a 'lectric Pressure washer that only puts out about 1000#. I'll try that. Maybe I should stick the inlet hose into a bottle of Coke and speed things up. Thanks again to all.:9

I know there was a post here about the best way to take the glue off of your truck after you get signs off but I can't find it. Could anyone tell me what the best way was on that post or anyother one? Hopefully it will be an expencive way. Thanks for the help. t.

How long will a pair of deep cell batteries last running an airconditioner like that? Wouldn't it be be better to get a small generator? t.

Could I get a kind of percentage of the amount of space your loads take up? IOW, of the loads that you've put on your C or D unit, how many would fit in a: 14' 16' 18' 20' 22' 24' box? Not worried about the heigth, width or weight, just the length. Thanks t.

McBride: Very good breakdown on Non-breakdowns. What kind of percent of linehaul do you put away to beable to do that on a regular program? Don't need to know how much or how much you have in the bank or how big your credit card is. Just trying to find the % that is needed every week/month to...

What about runnin with the Big Dog? How bout a 2000 Mack CH613 Vison with E7 460 motor and 18 speed and a 80" stand-up sleeper? Has all the power goodies and low miles. Would this be a good one to take to the 40' mark? You better say yes cause someone is going to win one like it on Sat. Right...

KW: Is your unit a standard sleeper unit? Or do you have an aftermarket sleeper added to a day cab? If it's a standard sleeper how long is it? Where did you put your tandem wheels in relation to the 24' box? I've been looking at some that have the tandem set about 1'-0" back of the...

RE: SPECS FOUND it's a long list folks Thanks guys. I talked to a Sprinter Service man today and he said that it would cost $3k for labor to rebuild plus maybe half again in parts. I told him about the milage and he said not to worry. He has several customers with 300k plus miles and doing...

RE: SPECS FOUND it's a long list folks With all the Sprinter expertise here could someone answer a question? If I'm looking at a '03 2500 with 158" WB and 154 hp diesel with 350k miles, what would be the best bet on what would fail first? Engine Trans. or something else costly? Should the...

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...

I've been talking to people about this same subject lately and I get the same answer from people that have the tag or pusher axle on... They say the next time they will go with a tandem set-up. The main reason being stability in all load conditions. t.
