    A day @ the ballpark

    It was my Granddaughters birthday. My first visit to Comerica and am glad she shared it with us. She is a big fan of the Tigers and loves baseball. Also is a big fan of Prince Fielder as the sign shows. We showed up early to try to catch him coming out of the parking structure but apparently...

    Week of 4th of July load predictions?

    If ya run 99.99% auto freight like we do,,Its a safe bet it will be slow. At the house now and thinking Ill be staying here for the week. Not much sense sitting in parking lots in this heat with no freight.

    Oil Speculation effects Truckers, Pilots

    Good thing we like all 3 of those..LOL Your correct..Yesterday I took on just 50 gallon thinking it will cover the next 500 loaded milles with what I allready had in the tank.,,I figure in the end the 50 gallons cost me somewhere around 88-90 dollars (before taxes). Dispatch was on the ball and...

    Oil Speculation effects Truckers, Pilots

    Really..I guess I could beleive that for a guy finding his own freight and setting his own rates. I seem to dole out alot of money for fuel each week..Regardless of how much you get for FSC on payday, does it (FSC) not get counted as revenue and there for still cost at years end? Im not for...

    Odd FECC Truck

    If you go into the Ford plants much you will notice some of these plants wont go into any straight trucks anymore..For some reason they claim Ford has a policy that prevents them from driving onto a box truck..1 day the forklift will go in the next day they wont???? Kinda dumb but thats the way...

    What in the colors....

    And there ya have it in a nut shell why I think white is the best.. I want clean not flashy and white is the easiest to clean in my book. And I think it holds up the best to fading if kept clean. Not knocking any customs trucks. I like em as much as anyone does, but I dont wanna spend my down...

    Surface Rust on Wheels

    Chrome cleaner is really good for removing rust stains on the painted surface. Of course it wont remove the rust coming thru the steel. I also think Powder coating is best option at this point if you want to save what ya have now. It will last so much better then a can of spray paint and look...

When I was think about doing it I talked with either Weller or Valley out of Grand Rapids Mich.They will do the full install once all parts are in stock and @ the shop. I think they said 2 days for full install. If ya can go with the...
