    Driving for a Fleet Owner

    OVM. Seems you'd make a dandy fleet owner. Why don't you just go buy a half dozen trucks, and field them?? You'd find out in short order "what they need an owner or manager" for. Do it, do it, do it. I dare you.

    Recession and Prosperity

    humble, at least you have your priorities right as far as equipment, and, likewise you seem to have it right as far as work ethic. If you are "lucky" to be in the right place when someone needs to ship a "hot one" then it'll be a good thing. Myself, I tink things'll be good nuff to get by...

    Axle weights

    Waitaminit. Don't blame the truck seller, blame the buyer. I'm not defending Alumabunk, but i'v had contractors with screwed up trucks that we fixed. With a bit of common sense. Zactly, what is your problem? Other than being heavy on the front?

    Axle weights

    Sounds like you have a pusher axle? Yes/no? If room allows, and you are determined to move something, you may choose to consider moving the lift axle behind the drive axle. that would add bout a ton to the rear of the truck and take a lot of weight off the steers when it is up. Depending on...
