as far as you never use a pressure washer on a show car, you are rite. never get up close and blast it, but since most never get extremely dirty, if you keep your distance the nice fine mist that all produce when you stand back is actually less pressure than the tipical garden hose even when it...

i to am in agreement, ban them. this is the one thing that should not happen. would like to think that with some help this sort of thing could possibly come out even worse for ctx. put a owner oos for a concerned comment, obviously shows the demeaner of the owner and the operations people there...

alot of this also has to do with the final drive ratios in each gear and the stepping of the trans. or the way the trans is geared. matching the trans gearing and the rearend gearing is very important. if i am rite phil you have the 10 spd ultrashift or the equivalent meritor and a 3.42 rear...

you said our carrier will not help, i am *** uming you mean fedex. i would agree, we pick up freight for fedex at customers as well as at terminals. we have had this ask of us at some shippers but always at terminals. maybe this is because we are outside carriers, but we find alot of terminals...

well if they were still operating then 28 gm plants would not be shut down along with a hand full of chrysler. gm is out of axles for vans , suv's, trucks same for the few chrysler plants. chrysler did stock up before the strike but are slowly running out also.

we do not want to haul really cheap freight. do we haul cheap freight, probably so if you consider what your company bids it for. i am 100 % positive everyone has hauled cheap freight. there is always the chance that your carrier will pick up something they quote very low to get you rolling, but...

well i am pretty sure they would notify us of their intentions with as much time as possible and if not then i would just deal with it. we tend to try to stay liquid enough to make it through just about anything. in this business if you dont learn to save for a rainy day you cant save yourself...

there may be an extra load there occasionaly, and that is great but there is always that scenerio of taking that load you hurried to be first for and finding out that the next person in line got even a better one , so it is all a guessing game. what is not is slowing down and running steady will...

layoutshooter, please tell us what you are driving and how it is set up. all the specs of the truck. i have the mbe 4000 and hold real steady now at 9.5 to 10.2 depending on all the factors and have usually been better than most with this engine but have never come close to 11.5 unless driving...
