    Straight Truck Cargo Capacities

    I have same problem with my Pete with a 64 inch sleeper and 24 foot box. I can gross 13K if I put it on there right. I, too, have to load the front heavy to keep from going over on my drive axle. If I have 12 skids to haul that each weigh 1000 lbs each, and I can't stack at least two of them on...

    I recently got my class A license with no experience driving a tractor trailer,,,

    I would say that your first obstacle is getting insurance without experience. Should you find a way to obtain insurance, then you might find somebody who would talk to you about letting you drive. Limiting yourself to one geograpgic area and making statements that you aren't going to sleep in...

    MotorKote or Marvel Mystery OIl

    I said I add a gallon of Lucas when I change my oil. I change around 10000. As long as I use Lucas, it will not use any oil between oil changes. I did not say it will use a gallon of oil every 1000. I said I will have to add oil every 1000 after about 6500 without Lucas. It may cost more in long...

    MotorKote or Marvel Mystery OIl

    I don't know any numbers or stats for Lucas oil stabilizer. But I do know from experience that if I add a gallon when I change my oil, my 3126 Cat will not use any oil in a 10000 oil change cycle. I tried not using it and at about 6500 miles, I had to start adding oil every 1000 miles. Why? I...

    all power generator

    I always back my straight truck as far back as I can beside a big truck. With my generator running, I walk to front of row and 99 times out 0f 100, I hear the big engines over my generator. I have never had a complaint and have always been considerate of my neighbor with this thing. But loud or...

    DOT Physical?

    All my physical required was that I have a heart beat and be able to see well enough to write a check. And that is pretty close to the truth. And all I want is a card anyway.

    cargo vs straight truck

    Here we go with another Van vs. Straight truck question. I have a straight truck. I sit at times. But do I sit more than vans? I haven't a clue. My personal belief is that the only true answer would have to come from an owner who has at least one of each. He would be more qualified to answer...

    EOBR for Solo Drivers

    I am a solo driver and I gave you something, but you said it was peanuts. My remarks were "If you don't like what you have, look elsewheres". What you are asking is not gonna be doable with EOBR. You play the game or else. Sorry if that isn't what you want to hear.

    EOBR for Solo Drivers

    I am a solo driver. I don't even know what an EOBR is. And from what you say, I don't believe I need one. I expedite my way and not somebody elses. If you don't like what you have, then change it. If it was costing me money, well, nuff said!

    ticket fixers

    Nope. No change. The guy wouldn't be there if he hadn't sped. And the ordeal he went through just trying to make it look like it was the city's fault. He sped, he got caught. Deserves whatever they deem his fine to be. It is just human nature to try and blame somebody or something else for what...

    ticket fixers

    WHAT??? Speeding tickets are on of the most fairest tickets there are. You have a choice of getting them or not. I never feel sorry for anyone getting one. It was their choice. You may not agree if you are one that gets them all the time. I can honestly say that I have never had one in my...

    Advice needed on searching for an air leak

    The load leveling valve on your rear end could be your problem. They can do crazy things when truck is sitting in different positions. Just because truck is on level ground does not mean it won't discharge a little air. If you find that when truck is in a certain position it leaks faster, then I...

    Montgomery, AL, FYI

    My thoughts exactly. Who is gonna police them? And I saw a DOT K9 Officer on I65 this week doing 50 MPH and kept running off the road on the right side. It looked like he was fooling with his computer while he was driving. Plus it was well past time for headlights and he hadn't turned his on...

    B CDL training in kentucky?

    My thoughts exactly! Why pay for training if you already have driven a fire truck. Get a CDL handbook from KY DOT and read and study it. Or as suggested, get your for hire endorcement on your liscense and a health card and drive under 26000 with no road test. Or at least that is all that is...
