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?

Don't you wonder sometimes when you are going through old threads why in the world did they post that on this thread? I enjoy going through the old threads and the end of the world is coming, the end of FedEx, Panther is coming, when there is a policy change at any company the end of the world...

This is what happens when you are at home wishing you were back on the road!!

No specs the BR is in a beta test phase.

We are at home and have a great connections so the horses are running and the speed is just great! With my normal connection who knows!

You are right it is the mods fault for not thinking of starting a new topic on getting your own authority.

I see no harm a thread meandering all over the place. But OVM you could have started a new thread with getting your own authorization instead of sticking it in this one. I personally do not want the hassle nor the searching and knocking on doors that comes with have your own authorization so I...

Re: Fedex BR unit....i like it Well I for one would sure rather see getting your own authority and the pitfalls in its own thread. Who would look in a BR thread to learn about that?

I would suggest if you have XM you start listening to Business and Beyond on channel 171. The show is on the weekends eastern time from I believe 4 to 7. You could also look at the web site http://cdlofit.ning.com/ as Kevin has just introduced a new DVD about getting started in trucking or a...

Before you upgrade you van to a BR you need to find out the specs and they are very specific. It is no different than buying a truck before you find out what the company you are going to lease on to require. Not a good idea and can be a huge waste of money.

Happy Thanksgiving to you Dale also! What a great day this has been the weather is perfect and I managed not to burn anything! We even had a phone call from our daughter that also had a pretty good thanksgiving ever seas.

We have not heard anything about "By Invitation only" only that the BR is still in a test phase and right now no more will be put on.

Yes it is.
