I believe you are supposed to have a physical.

If I found exactly what I wanted and it had a CAT engine, I wouldn't let that stop me from buying it. CAT parts will be around for awhile yet. (If CAT doesn't) Somebody will make them available.

I like Internationals, but the DT466 (in my opinon) is not a long life engine. They are a good running engine, but if you read alot about them, they don't last as long as others. As for the wiring problems, I read that it was the wiring harness to the transmission that was the worse. Now, if...

14 "Bluegrass Junction". And I know what some may say. I have heard every Bluegrass song 2000 times. Well, I am working on 2001 times. Diesel for my truck to run on, Bluegrass for me to run on. A banjo moves my inner beings. And when they play bluegrass gospel, that is even better!

I remember that thread, too. At the time, I didn't think much of it. But now, it makes all kind of sense. You could replace alot of parts for what one wrecker bill cost you. The idea is not to break down and have those high priced on the road repairs. Actually, if you kept records, I bet the...

I can tell you if it is info you want, this is the place to find it. You have never run across me anywhere cause I would tell you anything I know about this business. You gotta understand that most of the time, questions have to be of a general nature. So you will only get a general answer...

Why can't I picture a "square O ring"! hehehee! I can park my truck on level ground and not lose any air overnight. Park on a slight slope and the leveler on the rear axle leaks my pressure down a little overnight. If truck sits like a week (heaven forbid) it will leak down to just where...

O.K. Let me tell you this....What I said about this being my best year yet, did not brag of how much money I made. What I made may not be enough for you. All of us have our own personal goals. For example, I am doing this to supplement my pension. I would have to work alot harder if I was trying...

Have you used the "liability" word to the county board responsible for placing such a sign? Just a thought! Flashing lights and cameras would be great, but how doable would that be?

I think the same thing. I do what my dispatch says. Not the shipper. My dispatch is the one that makes the notes as to what went on at each shipper location. Come payday, that is what determines my pay for detention or dry run, etc. So, this particular driver is in the wrong and knocked his own...

This is not too far from being exactly what happened to me in N.C. on two different loads from who???? PII. I had only address of cutomer and name of a business (which was not at address I had). Only difference is that I eventually did a lot of leg work and found the customer on my own. And did...

My favorite run must have been the Indy to New Orleans with a load of China made caskets. Or was it the run from Tennessee to E. Butler, Pa. with 2 matching caskets? I think of them alot, so they must be my favorite.

My best year yet, but spent a ton on my truck this year. I am very pleased with my game plan and won't change anything starting out this next year. I am so thankful to be an O/O and do it my way, most of the time. Makes it alot more satisfying. Happy Holidays to all of you!

Well sweet! Can you get Dave Rivers to give us a ballpark figure for the units? Or tell us where we can get the cost of them? Don't need estimate for installing, just the cost of units.

Have you or do you know of anyone who has priced these? I was wondering what they cost? Looks like a good thing if not overly priced.

Now see? You are getting some ideas of what you think appeals to you. When you read the different threads here, you start thinking, "That sounds like it will work for me". Or you may read something and say, "Why does he/she do it that way"? Now you are begining to form opinions on how you think...

Just buy you a form at the truck stop and do it yourself. Or have a friend do it and sign it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ANNUAL-VEHICLE-INSPECTION-REPORT-FORM-FEDERAL-DOT-/190363671123?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature

I feel your pain, but, if you don't know whether to start in a CV or a straight truck, then you really don't know too much about this yet. That is why so many tell you to read. We may all do basically the same thing (move freight (large loads or small) from point a to point b). But there is so...

EEK! It is getting close to that time of year, isn't it?

Nuff said by me
