    Transfering Loads

    Broom: This is an imperfect world we live in. Maybe you should move one truck to higher ground and the other to lower ground so they might meet up + - . If they still don't meet up then move again. Not exactly rocket science but it works. As far as a dock plate all you need is something you...

    No, no Glen not trying to make ends meet. They meet just fine. Won't even consider a lease purchase. I am a Carrier whom wants to retire and allow someone to purchase a small Expedited Carrier. I had anticipated someone would be interested in a business but I guess I was wrong and figgured...

    Perplexed in Indiana

    I like Tom Robertson am wondering what people want... I have placed an ad on the Business Opportunities portion of this site to sell equipment, business for the price of a mediocre "new" expedite truck. Records indicate that on a "gross sales" basis, that return is four months. There have been...

    Move Over For The Moose

    Yep, looks like about what happens when you hit a camel in the desert you knock it's legs from under it and it comes in the windshield at you. Best to view your real estate in the daytime in those places if at all possible.

    Turning motor down?

    I guess my question is - If you don't have the truck on the road, and don't know if it's a 12 mpg truck or 6 mpg truck, why distress over it now?? I'd suggest you take it for a test drive of about a hundred miles, set the dash to 0 and see what it gets. Then you have a little data to research...

    Cab Overs

    Well folks, I just fielded an Argosy with a 30' van body. That gives me plenty of cargo space. I have a lo-pro unit and the door dims are 103" high. The triple air ride, seat, cab, suspension makes for a velvet ride like I have not experienced before. And, I own a few (quite a few) long...

    Something I have learned...

    For one horse organizations a paid for truck can't be beat. When you expand some there will be the need to borrow for the cause. Mainly the reason is, there are very few used units available, spec'ed to provide capacity, or, other features needed by the customer and, requires a substantial...

    lift gates vs no liftgate

    As an ex-glover myself, and, just being a carrier, a lift gate in my experience, translated more labor, more expense, more weight without any corresponding gain. A lot of people see the liftgate hanging off the truck and think you should use it because it is there. Guess they don't realize it...

    Three axle Rig

    Thats exactly right A-team. LIVE IT UP. This is a fun profession. We have both class 7 and 8 3 axle rigs. Both perform as they were expected to. the class7's are able to haul more payload because they are lighter in weight to begin with. Also, they have tags on them and are more forgiving if...

    Three axle Rig

    Depends. Like was wrote, depends on how your chosen carrier conducts business. A-Teams carrier wouldn't load them past 12-13,000 lbs, a D rate. And thats ok, if they are happy with that. Myself, I prefer to be able to load and move E rate freight when it is available. You gotta understand...

    AUX. AXELS

    I don't understand why anyone would want controls in the cab to stumble over anyway. My cab sometimes gets busy without that addition. had mine installed in the storage compartment below the sleeper.
