joe, is the xza3 you are using a lug or strait tread, as in like a steer tire? if strait then that explains your wear rate. not made to accept the torque. with the 19/32 you mentioned it sounds like a steer tire. i have xza3 casings w/oliver vdt9 treads {recaps}. i know how some feel about...

standard practice w/bypass systems is to have a sample done at every service cause you are not changing the oil every time. it may even be part of a plan when purchasing the bypass system.i know most provide sample kits. most who dont have a bypass system and change every 15,000 dont always have...

it could cross the line of negligence by the carrier or fleet owner with his own authority or even a single person with their own authority offering or booking a load that cant be done legally. we all know that this is done all the time. it may look legal on the log book but with a little...

the only way a carrier is required to provide it to you is if you are an employee, then its usually work comp. they may require it and give you access to it and charge you back for it if it is a state requirement or the carrier decides to make it a lease requirement. it is however a good idea...

i thought that they took the bentz name back when jeff jones and the rest of them all got together. wasnt there a post or advertisement about that ?

my wife and i have been teaming in a strait trk for going on 11yrs. take a cooler full of food the microwave and a tv to the bathroom and lock the door for 48 hrs. if you both come out alive, you will be ok. as far as the sleeper in a sprinter, i dont think you can have any kind of size and...

ya, thats rite jeff3000. thats what they called it and it was furthest point to closest point.

when we were with tri-state they paid zip to zip but it was always the zip that was furthest point from p/u to closest to del. actual zips meant nothing. then they had the customers that they let dictate mileage to them.

ya, i guess i should have put international in front of mine. i didnt cause usually when you tell them its going over sea they tell you thats what you need.

should have paid the small expense of insurance and made it a money order.

no, mine is the 112 version with the 12.8L/410hp mercedes, 6spd allison, 3.73 rears. no lift gate but the trk still probably weighs more than yours with the lift gate. fully loaded with fuel our stuff and us, 23,600.

10,960 hrs on mine 5yrs. old. we have replaced 4 alternators, the original lasted 4yrs. that replacement drivers in our truck burnt up do to trying to charge up dead batteries. one had a bad regulator from the get go and i am replacing that one now. on my 3rd set of glow plugs. other than belts...

they say alot of things. with oil being as good as it is today and with regular service intervals, i dont see a need for additives. to many other ways to get fuel mileage up that are proven. i use no additives regularly. i will put in power services when called for and occasionally use howes...

i dont consider it a trust issue, just simply a business issue. all load info should be given to you at time of dispatch or as soon after as possible. as soon after as possible doesnt mean when i deliver the load. i dont work for a "structured" carrier but i still expect all that info. i like to...

sorry to say, but i think you are wrong. some other group will bring it to their attention.

all i can say on the subject is, why work harder for the same money. thats like runnin 3000 mi. @ .75 or the same money @.90 for 2500. if you let them take advantage of you they will. as far as regulating vans/sprinters, you wait, its coming. the ever safety loving citizens groups will see to it.

dont get me wrong, sylectus is a good system and does alot of different things. i wish it the best and hope this makes a difference.

ya john, that was just me kinda pokin fun. i am very well versed in what all the sylectus system can do. i have had first hand experience with it at two expedite companies that i worked for. i guess we kinda feel the same way about it. a good idea that could have been more. i kinda like the...

seems if i were the new owner and i had a company like qualcom, i would mandate that all carriers that use my load posting site all have qualcoms. its a no brainer. that is just a plain way to insure the sale of more units. guaranteed revenue unless it allgoes south for some other form of...
