You should keep a Motor Carriers Road Atlas with you. I refer to mine every day. In the front section, they list by state restricted routes for trucks. Granted, It is more useful for major hwys and state routes, but is a good guide to have around. I use a Garmin Nuvi 50 GPS and google maps on...

I switched from Verizon to T Mobile a while back. I'm in the southeast, and have many issues with not getting a signal.

75, but I won't go over speed limit. Generally stay between 65-67.

That was worth every minute....thanks.

I drive a truck and have blue eyes.......

I tried to sign up, but I didn't get my password. Maybe I'm too impatient.

The very best to you and your new venture. As for safety, maybe insisting on drivers chocking wheels would be a suggestion. I personally stopped a forklift driver from driving off the back of a truck as the truck was rolling away from the dock. Just curious, how are you marketing your...

I was at freightliner dealership today and saw a memo about diesel fuel in DEF system. It said the only way it could happen is if someone accidently pumped fuel into DEF tank. And, the same for DEF in fuel tank, someone would have to pump it in. Hope that helps. BTW, the memo went on to say...

I don't have a DEF system on my truck, but I have a DPF. The term RE-Gen, or regeneration, is usually associated with DPF. What exactly are you having trouble with? I may be off base here, just trying to help.

I drove a straight truck for ATLExpress in the late 90's hauling air freight for them. Maybe things have changed, but their website shows them using big trucks, too.

Re: streight trucks with APU I always park in back for exactly this reason. I have an APU and a reefer (all my loads are refrigerated). I back up as far as possible to stay clear of big truck sleepers. So far, no one has hit me, but I have seen it happen several times.

Try ATLExpress or ATLCourier, same company. They use vans.

I spent last week running between Atlanta and Florida. I didn't see any signs of "blitz" at any scale or on the road. By the way, why did they build those huge inspection barns you could park a blimp in? I never see them being used.

I read on EO a few yrs ago that tying a small ratchet strap between the driver and passenger doors and snugging it up will help prevent entry into truck. I guess it would at least slow someone down and give you some time to react. If a window is busted to get to lock, the doors won't be able to...

When I first got started in '94 hauling airfrieght out of Hartsfield, Atlanta, I relied on an atlas to get me to the city or town and then stopped and bought a local street map. I had a collection of them. To this day, even with a GPS, I still rely on Atlas and use it several times a day.

If someone is willing to alter the numbers on the manufacturers GVWR tag, I would bet money they would try and put as much freight in the box as they could, regardless of the weight. JMO

I am hauling this freight with FEDEX Supply Chain. I have seen some White Glove and Panther Elite trucks at some of my stops. And I have picked up at UPS also. I drive regional, and have weekends off.

....you forgot, watch out for your license plate...they grow legs down there.

I drive an '08 Cascadia straight truck with an upgraded drivers seat.....very comfortable. I have been in a small Hino and an M2 Business class also. They both beat me up. For me, A class 8 tractor is the way to go driving OTR.
