Deep lug tires have been discussed before and I do not know who started the thread and I am horrible at finding old posts! There is a misconception that if you just buy super single tires you will start saving on your fuel consumption. If you buy the deep lugs and your old tires were worn...

Sorry took so long to get back. The FASS system was between 500 and 600 dollars. We did add the system to the truck but the jury is still out. We had an injector go out on the truck so do not have a full running month with the system. So far we do not see much change in the performance of...

One of the features that sounding really awesome with this system was the voice to text. Instead of hearing turn right in .5 miles this system will tell you to turn right on a street name! I like that idea a lot.

Judy I swear the more they talked about what all this system will do I think I was almost drooling! It is very nice and I think will be awesome in the truck especially with a HazMat load.

http://www.alk.com/pcmiler/pcmiler_navigator.asp This Dash GPS has just been introduced and is all ready impossible to find in the truck stops. The cost is around $350.00 Finally a truck friendly GPS where you put in your dimensions and what you are hauling and then the GPS routes you. After...

You need to check the rolling resistance on the SS Tires as the deep lug tires are really bad for fuel mileage and take forever to wear in.

Have you done your research regarding the Super Singles? Did lots and lot of research before we bought ours There are a lot of pros and cons regarding these tires... If you were to have a blow out, Would you be able to obtain a tire is a decent amount of time? If not, and you were loaded...

The grass always looks greener.......

In the future I cannot see the industry playing today’s games with yesterday’s rules so the face of expediting is going to change with the economic times. I agree rates will go up as the economic recovery begins as there will be fewer trucks to haul the freight, we will just be hauling the...

That is really disappointing to hear about. Where you able to get the great discount we are now getting on Michelins?

The numbers are a great idea but I would use names not wife or husband.

I believe the common saying in Expediting is less miles more money!! That though is subject to change to get us through some tough times. The question is once we through these tough times will it go back? Probably not keep your eye to the future and adjust with the times. Change is a way...

Michelin Tires web site has a great rolling resistance calculator. You can compare any tire to any tire and see what the rolling resistance is. Often the cheap tire with the deep lug will cost you a fortune in fuel and you could have easily paid for a Michelin or comparable without the deep...

I think you have problably saved a lot of people grief that will check that clamp. Being towed is no fun and is a very expensive ride.

We have talked with a few people who are in the process of losing their house and I just sit there with my mouth open not believing what they are saying. First it is the presidents fault and then the banks fault. Then in the next sentance we hear about their bowling leagues, their clubs they...

My point is everything wears with vibration and we as the drivers of the truck need to watch for breakage or worn items. The stress we put on these trucks from our rough roads we constantly drive on just amazes me how well our trucks do stay together. When something finally does let go to...

Now this is sure not good news! I hope we end up doing something different.

Is your M2 brand new and your first load? Or whas this something that has been overlooked many time while doing a pre trip? It is very easy to blame someone else and Freightliner has done a lot of amazing things but if this truck has been used much virbrations cause a lot of things to break...

You are usually not buying a truck for resale value you are buying a truck to make money with. Pay off the truck as quick as possible and start saving for the next one. A Peterbuilt and a Freightliner both make the same amount of money going down the road but only one of them will put more...

OVM you should not talk about Dreamer that way! How else would he be able to afford that Cadillac van he has?
