    If you buy it in drums, it is cheaper.

    That's a lot for filters. And a lot for oil. Last night i bought 3 cases of rotella at 12.74 a gallon. You can get your filter cost down if you buy by the case. You need to find a different vendor for oil and filters.

    Also keep in mind, by doing it yourself it gets you under the truck to look for problems. Gives you a chance to catch that fuel line or wiring harness that's rubbing before it puts you on the side of the road. The guys at the ta and speedco aren't going to make the effort to look for these things. Nor will they hit every zerk fitting when the grease it.

    At the end of the day you don't save much, maybe 75 bucks. But you should still do it. How else are you going to really know your truck if you don't get under it?

    One box stays dry. The other has rusted out every thing I kept in there. I threw a piece of matting (like reasrurants use in back) to keep stuff out of the water. Worked good.

    The changes are rolling out on the new contractor web. On the search page there is a spot off the the right "show deadhead" and it adds a column in the search results like we used to have. So now we can sort by distance from search location. One issue down, dozens to go.

    number of loads that can be viewed at one time has been changed so now the choices are 10, 20, and 50. That's not perfect but a whole lot better than before.

    can now accept / refuse loads like before, have to tick the same checkboxes as before also.

    data persistence is now there so if you log out or close your browser, when you log in the next time your search parameters will still be there.

    I think I'm ok with 50 results, we will see. 20 was definitely not enough though. I'm glad they are working hard to make the new one like the old one. Why are they changing again?
