Talking to a fellow Landstar (big truck) driver a couple of weeks ago in OR. and he told me about a new device called insta-chains which are supposed to be DOT approved, I don't have them and never wanted to be in a place where I would need them but these are pretty cool....a bit pricey but what...

RE: Time to make those calls to your Representativ Thanks JohnO! I just got through reading the call to action via my e-mail before I went to EO....ya beat me to it! Keep doing what ever it takes to keep our roads safe and keeping our jobs at the same time! I'll be making my calls first...

I have a pusher on my truck and like having the ability to shift the weight off my steers as well. I'd like to mention two things that may apply to your purchase as well. One is that here in Ky. if your GVWR falls between 44k and 55k they classify your truck as tax exempt, my truck is 46k...

If you have synthetic trans fluid in it you'll need to change out the filters the 1st. 75k and top off the fluid then when it reaches 150k you'll need to change all the fluid and both filters and at 225k it's back to just changing out the filters again and so on and so on. Come to think of it...

Thanks for the come back RLENT, I'll be calling them real soon.

Something to keep in mind! Having work done by a place other than your trucks dealerships sometimes creates problems and big money. We had an air compressor put on at a Volvo dealership and we own a International 7400, well the new compressor took a dump and we had them replace it again and we...

Do you have a phone# for Sam Weiner ? Thanks:)

DUH! does this come as a surprize? They use to make wise cracks about this funny sounding guy (ROSS PEROT)who preached over and over..........SAY NO TO NAFTA......now it may be to late to reverse the damage already done! The only way we can slow this problem down is to throw the owners of...

According to the KY. DOT coops located on I-24 having the controls located where the driver can reach them from the drivers seat is not in violation of the Federal DOT regs. The only state I know of that will fine you for having controls within drivers reach is the LA. DOT, the KY. DOT...

I've been reluctant to take loads to places such as ID., WA. and OR. but when I've ended up in those places I've always ended up with a good load out, I don't run in the north west during the winter but that's just my choice. LEAM BCO's don't get to search for Express loads from load boards, we...

No bashing will come from me!:-)

the only draw backs with the motel thing are things such as check in time because if you deliver lets say at 6-7am and you're real tired and have to first find a place and make sure there's enough for truck parking you could be driving in circles for some time and even if there was a motel next...

We also do the camper thing when we can, we're going to get a small A/C unit that'll fit in the trucks door window while on shore power. Not that long ago while going to Boise Id. we stayed a day at the Buckboard crossing campgrounds for about $20 located in the Flaming Gorge National...

Try squirting a mixture of dishsoap and water with a spray bottle on some of the hoses in the area where the noise is coming from, I don't think I'd spray the mixture under the dash due to all the electrical equipment but in the engine compartment and under the truck should be ok!

Greg... the only reason the Corvette looks like it does is due to the Viper. The consumers have the power to change things but with this I got mine attitude we're going to loose our shirts,each and every one of us and it's going to be to late when we realize it! You hear the car companys...

It's the unions that have caused most of this mess! First off I'd like to say that I was a chief union stewart for the AFL-CIO Iron workers, working at a company in Roseville Mi. building beverage trucks and armor cars, I was nothing more than a babysitter for about 250 people that didn't want...

Your right on about the growing pains! It must be a pain for these companys to figure out what works best for them. First off they hire someone straight out of college with a marketing degree that convinces management that they have the golden key (so to speak) and can restructure everything...

Stopped at a Pilot yesterday to relieve myself and found a pamplet about the points as we've talked about in this post and it's true about the point system and needing to purchase 175 gals. and you can receive a shower with 50 gals. So from now on my truck dog and I will use it as we did...

Hey Joel I got a question for you but it came up as post #14 Thanks

Well yesterday I ran into a CTX driver and we talked a bit and the subject of Victor came up and the CTX driver said oh no Victor is still there! So Joel which is it? is Victor there or not? He was one of the biggest reasons why myself and a lot of other drivers departed CTX and management...
