    Best trailer tires for car haulers?

    I run 17.5s due to being enclosed and the only brand that holds up in all elements is the continental HTL2, Michelin is second and everything else is trash. Don’t go cheap here in this area it won’t pay off…

    Open and enclosed best setups

    Now ive never run a 9/10 car hauler because i like the space of a bigger sleeper, but if i were to run open, the 8 car from cottrell can really move a lot of weight. Ive seen those haul 5 dually trucks with one car. Enclosed, the biggest issue ive had with kentucky trailers and all of the older...

Needless to say it didnt get very far with insurance as it's almost impossible to prove damages occurred in transport when he didnt notate it on delivery. Just an FYI for...

    Difficult brokers

    I can sort of see why they do it because 75% of the truckers actually running the rigs don’t know much English and they aren’t the best communicators with regards to timing. They just show up unannounced at midnight to drop off your car. But they need to be able to discern who’s actually...

    Stop hauling cheap freight!

    People always seem to point the finger at the brokers, the clients being cheap, really guys were the ones taking these loads so we need to stop taking such cheap freight from places like florida. Fuel is 5 dollars a gallon here, you cannot afford to run under 3.50/mile loaded, period!

    Difficult brokers

    They seem to have a really good algorithm for their rates, because they are almost ALWAYS under the market rate, by 1-200 dollars. Constantly driving down the market rate
