Its odd but they are wanting fuel filters changed every 20k miles in the new trucks as opposed to the 30k.

You are supposed to have two dual chains.
They go on top of your super singles.
One on each side.
Fold in half grab chain row 1and 4.
Leave the single chain dangling as you spread it across all three pegs.
Then pick up the dangling single chain row and fold it up on the peg.
That's how they'll want em hung.
The dualie chains won't have the leftover one chain row like the ss chains but you still grab rows 1& 4 together then waddle over & spread em across the pegs then fold up the bottom across two pegs.
When I had a red truck my satellite said 698000 miles but hub only read 480k turns out the thing had been wrecked before and a new engine put in.
Had a shiny red paintjob Conway decals none of those stupid looking goofy CFI letters. Was a good truck.
If you get a cascadia just know its kinda hard to see the trailer when making right hand turns ain't as easy as the 660 or prostar but definately more space for living.paul_4lp and zackery2011 Thank this. -
At this point I'd almost be happy with any truck as long as its not constantly breaking down or super tiny like the 660- that was terrible with 2 people and broke down all the time too. What are the trucks they have left they are handing out? I know you don't get a choice, but Im just curious. Last I heard it was 680, Cascadia, and freightlier right? They're out of volvos?

I'd liked to have seen how that truck looked Cargo.

PS: Grossed $9,925 last week on ~3300 miles as an independent o/o:
Broker: I got a load going 342 miles and paying $650 that needs to go straight through.
Me: I can cover that, but my minimum is $1500/day.
Broker: Are you serious?
Me: Yep.
Broker: Sigh, I'll send the rate con -- can you do it again tomorrow?
Me: Sure (& books $875 backhaul too)
Christmas Freight rocks!

Haha ! #### I always drive during the day and that's just because that's what I'm used too and all our loads ship and recieve during day unless facility is 24 hours.
Is 2300 average miles for you??
Why you leaving?? I thought conway was a good company. LOL! When I hauled flatbed I always hauled most freight out of california and stayed in Midwest for the 3 weeks I was out. Texas, Nebraska, Ohio, missouri, etc.

Conway has bigger trucks than JB hunt too and that's a big plus too. Our sleepers are only 48"-53. Most normal sleepers are 70". I know -
