    Stay away from recaps? Bad advice. Have a set on my drives with dynamic balance media in them. If you drove my truck without looking close at the tires you'd think to yourself #### this rides great. You'd never know they were caps. The easiest and best $2,000 I ever saved. These caps were on my known casings of course. Unknown casing = Russian roulette.

    Counteract beads, the ones you can buy at any Love's tire shop.

    I have a question. What insurance company are you guys using?
    I talked to ooida but the problem with ooida is, there's a really long list of company and brokers who won't accept their insurance.

    So you are already taking the quick pay route, or factoring.
    How much of your money is that costing you each week?
    I feel your pain, not many small operators can afford to wait 30-45 days for a check.

    I use OOIDA for insurance. I don't really have any issues with brokers not accepting their insurance. The only one I have run into that stopped me from taking a load was Landstar. Fortunately most of the loads they have are available through other brokers anyway.
     
    6 Speed Thanks this.
