I'm looking at making the switch from being just a company driver to bring an owner operator because I'm not getting the miles and the pay I...
The industry is shifting towards non-White drivers because Pedro from Guadalajara would take my job for a fraction of my pay, and with equipment...
I'm out of Utah, I'm fine with regional and OTR. My initial preference would be to haul dry van but I'm fine with doing reefer, if someone pays...
Yeah well the industry should change to accommodate us. We aren't disposable worker units who will hold a steering wheel all day and die at 60...
An X endorsement would open my options of what I can do so it's something I'm thinking about, obviously I'm not going to do 80 with two trailers...
I've got a doubles endorsement, I'm thinking about getting hazmat and tanker, what companies do you recommend that have their trucks set between...
So after this month with a truck with an X15 Cummins that likes to run the oil hot when climbing a grade, and coolant not so much, it has me...
That's a bummer. Is there any noticeable longevity sacrifice at the higher horsepower range? Eg, would a million mile engine be reduced to 3/4 of...
My thought as for the engine is because it's a wet sleeve design it should be possible because I don't see why Detroit would have used different...
Last question for now. Is it worth the time and effort to swap to air disc brakes all the way around on the truck at the same time?
Is it possible to rebuild a 12.7 with rotating assembly parts from a 14 liter Detroit? The truck I'm in right now is a rental and it's finally put...
The point for me is I've found that it allows me to turn quicker when backing in to a spot either at a shipper or a truck stop, and after I'm...
I also don't think I'm gonna do 24.5s, I'm gonna do 22.5 super singles, it'd save me about 300 pounds total which means the APU won't be a problem...
And that won't cut it for me because I like to have my fifth wheel completely forward for a number of reasons, which often leads to being over...
No, I'm talking a 14,000~16,000 steer axle and an 8,000 lift axle. I was 76,500 with full tanks on the truck and the reefer. Here's the...
The Western Star I'm eyeing is listed as 12,000 on Truck Paper and I have no way to check that right now so I'm going to go as if it is 12,000
To be honest I wasn't sure if a pusher needed to be steerable or not. When I talk about a heavier steer axle I'm talking about in the 14,000 range...
Okay, so do you have a recommendation on tire brands to look at? I'm leaning towards Toyo because of the M647s and the M144s, the latter...
I know what regulation you're thinking of and it's whatever the idle reduction equipment weighs, in theory it could be as much as a ton. I'm not...
A lot of my MPG gains I imagine I'd see is by running an APU and not idling all night long like I have in the past with certain mega carriers who...
