Today's fleet bulletin confirmed the rumor that Carriers will be allowed to be added to the fleet. Present Carriers are OK. New ones must be Supra 60s with maint free fans. 1) have any former Carrier owners become TK converts ? Would you now order a TK by choice ? 2) would the make of unit on...

Dust is driving me nuts. Particularly on my electronics. GPS,Camera monitor,Dash guages. Doors/windows are tight and I seldom go into dirt areas. I change the cabin filter often. Anyone have any ideas ?

I run 445/50R22.5 XDA Energy tires on my full tandem. It weighs 21,000 lbs empty. I seldom load over 2500 lbs. I never load over 11,000 lbs. If I read the Michelin Website right I should be running 85 lbs. This doesn't seem right. Presently running 120 lbs. Curious what others run for...

As my Onan 7500 turns 2 years old I thought I should revisit the owners manual to see what, if anything, I need to address. I have 3200 plus hours. All I've done is routine air,fuel,and oil/oil filter changes. And I cleaned the spark arrestor once. Book says at 2 years, flush coolant and...

I just got off the phone with a close personal friend. His company will be hauling the new product to dealers. (One of two carriers involved.) Very soon. He is opening a terminal and getting ready to domicile drivers.

A fellow truck hauler was telling me about his newer truck, a 2010 Volvo with an ISX, no def. He bought it at 488,000 miles. It used a gallon of oil every 5,000 miles. He changes the oil every 15,000 miles. 95,000 miles later he only uses a gallon every 10,000 miles. He thinks the previous...

Obama today ordered the EPA and others to set new greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards for Med and HD Trucks by 3/31/2016. I believe they'll be effective on 2019 vehicles.

Listening to a rebroadcast of Landline Now John Osborne, the driver of the OOIDA truck, spoke of an encounter with CARB in Livingston, Ca. From his brief report one could infer they busted at least one TT. He said he had to show the paperwork that allows his truck to do 1000 miles only in Ca...

Question for those running DPF trucks. Have you cooked your filter based on mileage in the owners manual ? I asked a trusted service manager about scheduling mine in per mileage in the operators manual. He said "Why ?" I said I like to do maintenance by the book. He recommends waiting until...

When I hauled trucks for Allied I'd go into the shop and air my tires with a wonderful tool. It was high quality and said Master Gauge on it. That was not it's brand name. I'd like to buy one but can't find it on the internet. Granger did not have it. The question is " Does anyone have...

I borrowed a J-Bar to load the other day. Now I want to buy one. Any ideas ? I'll try New Haven Equipment on Monday.

We've seen what a talented,educated team can do for MPG's in a greatly spec'd Cascadia. I'm curious how the typical Cascadia does with average drivers. My guess is 8-9 as a typical D. How close am I ?

I'm having a new DR unit built and want to put a 4 camera system on it. I priced a Voyager system today,because I like the camera US Express uses on it's front fenders. Anyone have any comments about thier experiences ? Will I have issues with cameras inside a reefer ? Lastly, does anyone have...
