We will go for summer also! In the winter I watch the weather pretty close so we do not pick up or deliver right in the path of a huge snowstorm. Once a storm has gone through and cleanup has begun we will tackle just about anything. One thing about the winter though the weather can sure...

Heck Layoutshooter you are rapidly become the smartest person on how to buy a used truck! Experience is the best school of hard knocks and you are sure attending that school regularly. It is the pits you are learning all of this the hard way but your experience will sure benefit a lot of new...

We made our resumes when looking for our perfect trucking job! When attending our first truck show as potential drivers we took nicely printed resumes to hand out. Believe you me the look on some of those recruiters faces was a riot but guess what? We were noticed and questioned while they...

We are still running our Lane Departure Warning System, the electronic rumble strips I have talked about before. It is amazing to us that about 95% of the time when we push talk on the phone, or just reach for the phone 1/2 of our tire goes over the passenger side white line. Never knew that...

It seems it most situations involving two parties one party is giving thanks and the other party is saying what went wrong.

Moot you have the system whipped!! Good for you keep up the good work.

Warned you!! Now have you ever read where the Red Fern Grows? Bob had never read it and does not really care to read so I got it in audio. Forgot about how bad the end gets and you should have seen him trying to drive through a city sobbing! It was really a cruel thing to do.

Great Job! We have always thought if we went to tractor trailers that is the only division we would really be interested in. You guys will do well.

If we have a confirmed delivery and they cannot accept the freight we get paid very well to babysit it. If we take a load without a confirmed delivery that show we are going to deliver on Saturday, we accept the load know it is not confirmed and the load confirms for a Monday delivery we get to...

EASYTRADER has this right for sure. We do have to drive at night no choice in this business. We have to do everything we can to stay safe and alert and deliver our freight safely.

I do not know if I could have survived having a dog like Marley my gosh he cost them a fortune in everything he tore up and also the training classes they went to. I laughed at so many parts of that book though on the things that darn dog did! Cried at the end though so be prepared. Good Book!

Good Luck Joe on this one if you have questions on what you find out give Bob a call I am sure he will have some ideas for you to think on and decided what will fit your situation best.

Bob thinks you probably all ready have a 12,000lb front axle you will need to go to 14,000lb plus and the 12" tires. Bob is think 1/2 to 3/4 lost in mpg but that is speculation but at the cost of fuel that is a huge loss over a year.

Joe, do you have the figures for the drives backwards? The rear axle with tag or pusher down should weigh less. Bob thinks you have two options get a heavier front axle, suspension, and bigger tires to handle 14,000lbs or move the axle’s forwards which Bob thinks would be cheaper and better...

Do you have a belly mount or roof mount reefer?

You have several problems working against you if you add a third axle your fuel mileage will get worse. Do you have a pusher or a tag axle?

Kraig, Check your darn friends requests! Also where is the post of Phil naming his truck? I still have not found it. Why would alumibunk be looking at your profile odd

Bob's first thought also was you are going to need to move the fuel tanks. Wow what a problem. Good luck and keep us updated.

Rolling resistance seems to be the new buzz word for fuel mileage. Your tires can make a big difference to your bottom line, can be more up front but will cost less in the long run. Right now the tires with the least rolling resistance in the Michelin XZA2 Energy which can be used for steer...

Well not having a visor has to help the Cascadia in the bottom picture live up to its fuel mileage figures. Both trucks look just fine.
