If it is the truck I am thinking of, it is a nice truck no doubt. I just think that in todays economy, the price is a bit much for the miles and year. There are a lot of trucks out there with less miles for less money. By the time you put another 2-300,000 on it, you will be hard pressed to find...

One post you speak of Uship and the next post, you mention Panther, TriState, etc. Not quite the same freight scenaro. Now if it is expediting you want to do, there are many independent guys out here to run for. Most will let you run the way you want to. Meaning, no forced runs, time off, etc...

I agree! Uship has the most cheap skate shippers around. Nothing wrong with wanting it shipped cheap, but, they are so afraid to commit because they think the next bid will be lower. This makes for a scheduling nightmare. You don't bid and expect to get it in time to meet your plans. I gave up...

That's no problem as "turtle" will be happy to figure how big of alternator and batteries you need. Hehehehe!

Sweet! Do you throw a pad for it to walk on everytime you let it out???? HaHaHa!

2000 Pete 250 HP Cat 9 Speed. I average 8.4 which includes APU time. I run 62-64 MPH. That is around 2000 RPM's.

Unreal isn't it? I think it is because the kids of now, don't like to sweat! I would kill for a good size card board box when I was a kid. Didn't need toys back then. Getting a bicycle was like getting a car. If you were fortunate enough to get a new bike, oh wow, you were in heaven. And I was...

Pilot in south Memphis. Black driver who can't get a draw on his comchek till the next day. He needs $6.50 to buy a fuel filter so he can get out of there. He will even let you take tools off his truck. Yeah, right! Then there is the truckstops in Indy. I believe this is the training camp...

Once carried a pair of matching caskets from Manchester, Tn to East Butler, Pa. Good ole American made name brand top of the line caskets. A month ago, carried 39 caskets from Indy to Gulfport, Ms. All made in China. Nothing is sacred anymore.

You gotta be kiddin? Care to name any of them? Huh?

The worse thing for me is trying to juggle the sleep schedule. After having been off for 10 hours which included sleep time, I sit there thinking, "Do I need to sleep a little more in case I get a run tonight"? So I sleep several more hours and no run. Then it is night time and I am wide awake...

Looking at the spec's on the site, this unit does not provide AC Voltage.

Again, I have always said, "There are so many different ways to do this job". And fastrod has his way of doing this. What works for you, may seem crazy to others. I drive a ST and I am home every weekend (my choice). And I may deadhead home from Laredo (and have). I make every effort to try and...

Wow! Guess it was shot from the tanks never being drained. I can see that happening. And now my governor is acting up. But I have a spare. Guess it is time to use it. Glad you are back up and running. Stay safe!

Bill Haslam is running for Governor of Tennessee. He is CEO of Pilot and according to what I read, his father must have started them. Anyway, I will be interested in what he has to say.

Did they replace the whole air dryer or just the cartridge element?

Pilot. Good coffee???? I don't know why! More of them maybe? Ask easier questions, alright?

I have never seen a Bendix AD-9 air dryer that didn't have a spin on dessicant element. http://www.bendixvrc.com/itemDisplay.asp?documentID=5144 Go to page 3 to see which have replacement catridges.

I guess I am a scardy cat, but I always think of what could happen if I try to do this or do that while on the road. While I carry a pretty good assortment of tools, it is not practical to carry enough for every scenario. My thinking while out on the road is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If...

I have never had a tractor stretched, but have had a straight truck stretched to make a cattle truck years ago. I have driven two others that belonged to other people that had been stretched. Mine was done by an outfit in Nashville and came out an OK truck. It drove good and ran the road...
