Dropping the trailer -drop landing gear, unhook lines and lock kingpin- takes about 2-3 min. Re-hooking takes about the same. Knowing where you can drop a trailer... Priceless. (I would not drop a loaded trailer anywhere but at a yard or in a dock.) I have also had no problems parking near the...

Trailer Aerodynamics Trailer aerodynamics can be improved minimizing the gap between the tractor and the trailer, to reduce air turbulence. Specifying wheelbase and fifth-wheel settings that position the trailer as close to the rear of the tractor as possible can reduce tractor-trailer gap...

I stand corrected, I should have checked my math more carefully. It should read 50 Million Dollars not 5 Billion dollars Thanks LBD, glad someone is paying attention. 6 million miles a day x 365 days = 2.2 billion annual miles (5+ million loaded miles per day from Schneiders web site and...

I had a Peterbilt 335 w/an Allison... I now have a Volvo with a Meritor Freedomline. The Allison's torque converter will cause a drop in MPG's in the lower gears (in city driving). if you are primarily in high gear/interstate driving (with the torque converter locked out) this would have little...

I put a backup camera on my Pete 335, I bought the camera and monitor separately for a total of under $100 I loved it, worked great, fantastic for tight quarter maneuvering. I opted for cheap, thinking that if a camera got crushed or knocked off, a warranty was less important than a cheap...

I looked into Glider Kits a couple years ago, I talked to Fitzgerald glider kits, they told me that they order them in large lots (50+ at a fleet discount) and that those were the best value, I could custom order one, but the savings would be much smaller. The main advantage to me, was to have...

Running in the hills, with heavy loads... I have to hit 75 MPH at the bottom of the hill to crest the hill and stay in high gear. If I don't and I have to drop down a gear --- then my fuel economy drops off a LOT.
