Profile For Toby T.

38000 miles

temperature 200-215 loaded pulling the mountain

Started the day going to get a load of sod pulling it with 600 horsepower cummins oil pressure was 40 when I left home as the day went along oil pressure kept getting lower started pulling a mountain eventually it was down to 20 engine warning came on and restricted my Power shut the truck down for 10 minutes then restarted pressure came back up a little then came back down had sensor replaced didn't help anyone have any ideas what's going on

Need some professional advice company just got a lonestar with shorter turning radius I'm pulling 48 foot spread axle I have lots of tight turns especially in Washington dc I was wondering has anyone else had this kind of problem and how did you deal with the tighter turns someone said adjust trail arm on the lonestar never heard of that before

Someone on another trucking site said all trucks should have a large screw on tracking arm which adjusted might help has anyone else heard of that

I had sterling road tractor but now have lonestar the lonestar don't turn as sharp I'm pulling 48 foot trailer on narrow roads having to make a lot of tight turns anyone have any ideas on how to make it easier can't slide fifth wheel any further

Thanks for all the answers the reason I asked about regeneration on asphalt was we bought 2010 lonestar and owner manuel said do it on concrete or gravel not asphalt that made me wonder because all we see is blacktop hardly any concrete surfaces

On a Funny Note, my Cascadia has the short exhaust pipe that dumps down inbetween the Drives, makes one heck of a steam cloud when it's -25 below or colder. Somewhere I heard/read of a story where a Trooper who pulled a Driver over to write him up for drive brakes burning up, Driver pointed to the Shorty exhaust pipe down between the drives, Trooper waved see ya

thanks

This is our first truck with dpfsystem and heard if you need to do parked regeneration not to do it on asphalt just wanted to know if anyone has done one on asphalt what do you do if someone has no choice

Hi Toby, I don't haul sod on a regular basis, but I do get the odd load of sod from over in Canada and have to bring it back to Michigan to deliver to the local garden centers. Always right up there on the weight......we weigh out before we leave their yard.

I've met a few guys that do nothing else but haul sod and they seem quite happy doing the job.....its a regular run for them.

we don't have any scales been caught overweight many times

I haul and lay sod for a living I was just wondering has anyone else hauled sod
