You could have a tire out of round. A product you might want to consider is Balance Master wheel centering device. We have also never had a shimmy on any of the Freightliners we have drove.

Ditto to all the above post

Jeff was a one of a kind writer who many of us enjoyed and his articles are missed. You Phil have a different writing style which is enjoyable to read. You say you are not going to continue to be the editor in 2010 and you will also be missed. There was no slam intended with the post, nor do...

The load opportunities is all about us and freight. As a customer who is in a bind I would like to know immediately if I had a truck or not. Without customers there will not be the beep of a load opportunity. I know we as the truck like to we are most important but without customers we are an...

We have been where you are at and see that great load and immediately think of how great that load would work out for us. We no longer get excited about a load till we get it and then when we get that awesome load that fits us perfect we are doubly thrilled... Kind of goofy but we no longer...

As the new year is getting closer I have started working on a new goals list. I have found if I write my goals down and how I am going to accomplish them I have a better chance at succeeding. I have also started narrowing my goals down to specifics items and then how I am going to accomplish...

As there become more 2010 trucks out here I hope to see this problem start taking care of itself. You will not need to get DEF every time you fuel. We have also seen the pumps within a TA shop and that will be a real pain in the behind. It is going to take time to straighten this mess out...

You know what you are getting back into! The road calls your name and it is hard to ignore..

Hey AnneM we are working pretty hard at getting a fun walk for MATS this year on Friday morning! I will post more on that as we get closer to MATS as it is open to anyone associated with trucking.

We very seldom fuel anywhere else so we use the TA Showers a lot anymore. Some of the TA showers are really pretty darn nice and some of them are not very nice which is the same as any truck stop chain we go to. We have also met some really nice shower attendants at the TA who have seen me...

Finally at least one picture of the truck with our Christmas decorations.
