My truck is a 2000 Freightliner Classic. Its time for a new paint job. It has the condo sleeper. Color is Raspberry. What should a mid range...
I haul dry van in the western states. Can someone recommend a good agent or company? I want a very solid company, not a cheap one.
You're right about that. Lots of dry van loads go into refer trailers. Those all are metal floors. Occasionally I see a load that specifies...
Thanks for the good advice. Do you think spray on non skid would work on the metal floor? It could be done in stripes lengthwise or just do all...
I got loaded by a robot once in Puyallup Washington. It was bottled water. They didn't tell me how much the robot weighed. That much would be...
I think the worst thing that could happen is if the receiver refused the load. Then it might become an insurance claim. I run under my own...
Yes, I agree. My problem is that sometimes when loading bottled water, if they can smell any odor inside the trailer it becomes an issue. Wood...
I read the study that Calif. did to force Smartway skirts and tires on trailers. They could not get any improvement at their speed limit, so they...
Well that seems to be the agenda. Since it can't be to clean the air. As usual the politicians use fake environmental concerns to further force...
Can you give some info on how those programs worked? I don't need details, just a summary. The problem with adding a DPF to become compliant is...
Thanks very much for that technical info.. I will likely try the 171702 first and go from there. That is why I hang out here. Alan, you are a...
Does anyone know how much the fine might be for an out of state truck running in California? I know its serious for trucks with California...
I am about to buy another 53 ft dry van and just found out they can be had with an aluminum floor. Is this a food grade trailer? I once had a...
I didn't mean to pick on Cummins without mentioning others as well. But I am out there and I only know what color the engines are as I drive past...
Does the 14L Detroit last about as long and run similar to a 12.7? What model Garret is comparable to the BW 171702?
IMO ; I wouldn't turn up horsepower unless the engine was in very good shape internally and oil consumption was low. More power equals more...
Dave; Can you PM me please?
What was your engine factory horsepower ? Mine did not have the piston cooling sprayers so Leon said I shouldn't push it too hard. So I did the...
Right again; I do lump them together. I suppose its because after seeing enough of them stranded with the hood open, they all look similar. The...
Are the 5915 injectors the ones that come stock on the 500 horse 12.7 ? I have the stock 470 horse injectors now and they seem OK for my power...
