My trainer wouldn't go out west because mountain miles are slower. You get worse miles per gallon and the mountains are a lot more dangerous then mostly flat land in the Southeast where he stays. I agree with him. Faster miles means more loads and better fuel consumption on flat ground. I stay Southeast regional

My boss just got a spare tire for our 26 ft international box truck and 16ft Isuzu cabover and they are in the back where the cargo goes. Well I'm tired of moving them around and them getting in my way so does anybody know where I can put them. What about those rope looking tire mounts tractor trailers have under the trailer. Can I put it beneath the driveshaft that goes to the rear wheels. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Quad and tri axle dump trucks?
I took a vacation to North Carolina and I noticed that all the dump trucks in the state have four axles In the rear but in Florida there are only three. Is there a weight restriction or something going on. The cargo area on the quad axle truck is bigger I believe so is the gvw 80k? Anybody that can shed some light please do. Thank ya much an keep on truckin!

Today I drive 80 west in southern Florida around 6 pm and when I went over 27 I had a billion bugs start filling my windshield. As the sun went down and cars headlights started getting brighter. My visibility decreased to the point where I could not see. So I pulled in a marathon and cleaned it best I could. Wasn't perfect. So. I wanna know. How do you vets clean up so your not drivin blind. A otr guy helped me once with his own squigee and he had a mix of deiesel and something else he would spray on the windshield and scrub a bit and it worked like magic. What was that oh so magical stuff he had and is it worth it to buy my own long scrubber for my windshield and Windows. Help me be safer guys if appreciate it. Keep on trucking

Let's say you're on a 2 Lane Rd. with a dotted yellow line If there is a big truck behind you is there a way to tell them to pass work to back off your Ass a bit. My truck is governed at 60 and I'm constantly slowing down you 18 wheeler guys. Is pulling off the road or into a left turn lane to let a truck pass courteous? Let me know if there's any light signals I can do let me know if there's any light signals at all.
