$500 a WEEK?! What kinda operation do you think trucking is?! $500 a week..... I'm still reeling. Fuel is $0.80/MILE (and higher in some areas...

I hauled a few loads of frac sand from Michigan down to Texas before, it's easy work as long as you don't breathe near it - and you'll find every...
BUMP Wondering if the poster above got his axles done. Happy Holidays!
My '05 ISX always ran best at around 1450 on the flats and small stuff, and a flip of the splitter would put it at 1700 to start a climb. Climbing...
