    What Would You Do?

    Again, I'd say it depends.....on the carrier (or carriers, in his situation). That, in itself, lends a lot of variables. I know nothing about his arrangements, but a few phone calls would decide it for me. Do any of them have any success getting out of that area? Where are you, Preacher?

    What Would You Do?

    I'd say it depends. You say nowhere ville. What's the likelihood any of your carriers gets you out of said town on Monday? If it's good, and you'll get a decent rate for all miles, then I'd follow Zorry's advice. If you're going to have to deadhead to get to a better area anyhow, then get...

    New Truck Cabs with Reman Parts

    You mean, "Not Too Bright" ? I'm kidding. A guy I used to work with in prison drives for them, and is real happy. Info on glider kits is probably available on Kevin Rutherford's site..... Providing Innovative Solutions for the Trucking Industry :: Let's Truck

    New Truck Cabs with Reman Parts

    Is it just the cab, or are they ordering glider kits? A glider kit is the cab, frame, and steer axle. Wiring harness and drive train are customer-speciifc. Schneider National just did, or is doing, around 6000 of them. They're keeping Detroit Diesel very busy with engine remans.

    How far did ya limp the last time a steer tire blew, Jake? I believe there are tons of myths out there from the first generation of singles. FWIW, Dave, Michelin's got an app for that. I think you'd be surprised at how widely available they are. Not sure who pays fuel in your operation, but in...

    Super singles

    We bought them in December, and put on in February. Instant increase of .8 MPG. Better ride was the side benefit. All Michelin dealers are required to keep them in stock. Money well spent, IMHO.

    Error code ECU 128 SID 124 - mean anything to anyone?

    What I found was (if in a freightshaker) that it means intake manifold pressure is reading moderately to severely high. ECU 128 is the ecu for the engine. What make/model/year? Has it de-rated? And please don't quote me. I'm relaying what I found on these interwebs.

    HUH? The first thought that pops into my head is that there's a grocery bagger's web forum with a recently banned member.
