    RV TRANSPORTING

    I find this industry extremley limited. Posting on this many times what makes a great business a great business? In my expierence OPTIONS you have no further options in buying a Dulley, you can haul horses, pigs, cows. Steel for Hot Shots or RVs thats about it. So if things get soft all you...

    Can someone explain!?

    Lets say you get to a location and you have to hand unload it the customer would be charged for your time and you will get 62% of that. Back hauls are a dream come true, one I have not yet had happen yet. You take a load from Detroit to Atlanta, get to the location on time and they refuse the...

    pay?

    I have a question for the Poster. You can acutally survive on $400.00 a week? Have you ever considered how your going to live when you say oh after your 68th Birthday? What about Health Insurance do you have any from a wife or another source X-employment I hope so. Seems like a very low $...

    air brakes on a downgrade

    East Coast - West Coast a 5-6% downgrade is still 5-6% on either Coast, look at Fancy Gap, Black Mtn. I have driven around the U.S. 4 times now and it must all be taken with the same caution. All of the Posts are correct on the braking methods, I choose even with a installed Jake to pump at...

    Truck Dealers

    Fort Wayne Truck Center (Palmer Dealer) Leo has stated to me in the past he had a bad expierence with these people responding to him. I had a great expierence and got a great education as well. What Leo did is very very rare and if you look at what a dealer has to go through to build a truck...

    valve adjustment

    The soot is probably a clogging or clogged injector. Last year I complained on this site as to why everytime the truck sat for more than a day and I fired it up my roof and box were covered in specs of soot. Finially the truck started running very rough, took it in and they did another...

    Dot inspection

    If you have a side compartment door put it inside there. When I purcahsed my truck they put it on the outside compartment door, its still there and the new one on the inside. I need to remove the outside one, I do not like the idea of my phone # and name being on plain view all of the time.

    valve adjustment

    I caution you on that its way to long, its very inexpensive compared to what could happen if it is not done sooner. I had mine done at 90K and I could imm. tell a big difference, much quiter. Cost on a Cummins was around $300.

    smoke removal

    OK Flame but how does not apply this. I can wash this entire truck with my solution in one hour or less including engine and lower frame. Polishing the entire truck takes an entire day (TOMMOROW) Daughter has a boyfriend actually (hundreds) but this kid is the only one who knows how to work...

    new truck

    What I am confused at is (and its not really any of my business) but you posted it twice is that your gona keep putting more $ for improvements into this truck. When I ordered my truck I carefully went over everything 100 times. If it would not generate enough $ in one year or less to pay...
