The rule in Washington state is that if "Traction Tires" are required for cars, chains are required for trucks weighing over 10,000lbs GVWR. Now I...
Getting the dock plate in is all well and good, but like both RideandRepair and Freddy said, there are some facilities with closely spaced doors...
As an independent, it seems to me like most of the OTH hauls I drive are so time constricted that all I do is basically drive 11h/rest 10h...
I know you said you didn't want any links to videos, but this guys YouTube channel is professionally done and it's almost 100% devoted to backing...
This is my understanding as well. If any part of a tire tread measures less than minimum - 4/32" in this case - you can be cited. Now with other...
It's apparently more than layoffs: Seattle-based freight startup Convoy is closing down business operations
Another consideration in addition to those given above, I believe, is that running your (lead-acid) truck batteries below about 40% can damage...
I figure I have around 80 gallons left in my newer T680 (120-100) when the light goes off. That's an annoyingly huge number, but I figure this may...
The consensus I've gathered is just the opposite, go with oil...but who knows*. I recently watched a YouTube video of a driver with grease style...
As far as your license goes, go to the DMV and convert it over to 'Excepted IntRastate' before it expires (from Unrestricted Interstate). You will...
This is probably a stupid suggestion, but have you tried 'pushing in' the fan knob to activate the higher fan speed band? When I do this on my...
I'm seeing a fair amount of these loads being posted in the PNW lately, and I've been reluctant to haul them. I'm not really worried about any...
Thanks you three (and all), working on this angle is what I'll try next. It's interesting that since I bought my APU about two years ago, I see...
Having now driven my relatively new T680 with a Tripac Evolution APU in 100+ degree heat for an extended period of time this last week, it's...
All the loser O/O's here who can't turn a profit hauling for $1.80 a mile, or new hires driving for $0.30/mile appreciate the bravery you and...
The Tripac Evo (diesel) uses a voltage sensor that will start, run, and charge your batteries when they are low, and it also lets you run the...
I'll talk about a load I was refused. Coffee from Starbucks. J.B. Hunt had it listed as a 'High Value' load, and so having a higher amount of...
In Washington state you would have never been able to get your license without first having finished an 'accredited' CDL course/school, although...
Just because we need 18 to 20 year olds to die in wars for us, doesn't mean we also need to trust their judgment. 19 year old Oregon driver...
Subject to their situation, and also subject to how you calculate costs. For example, I'd bet there a lot of owners who underestimate/ignore how...
