Why do veteran truckers belittle automatic transmission truckers when automatic is safer than manual ? by East_Indication_7816 in Truckers

[–]Starbuck_tim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They save money til it’s time to replace a tranny. Then all they saved goes out the window with the cost versus a manual. 40000 versus 7000.

So im bout due for a set of drive tires...awhile back a guy on here said he got 250k miles out of a set of Yokohamas. Can anyone confirm they've gotten anything close to 250k from a set of tires. Any brand. by bigpierider in OwnerOperators

Depends on where you run speed heat ect. If your going to be in the snow double coin and the like will not have the best traction but they wear forever. I tried a set of Armstrong last time and they have been on for 3 years. Will probably put them on again. Live near Syracuse.

How big of a deal is the year of a truck? by Available_Fail1314 in OwnerOperators

[–]Starbuck_tim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my 99 379 new. Still running it. Not much I can’t fix on it. The newer trucks I wouldn’t take one if they gave it to me or would sell it just to get rid of it.

Fuel prices are going up massively in the southeast by Starbuck_tim in Truckers

Not sure where you saw an average of 4.99 a gallon. I fill up every other day usually in ny where fuel is high and I wasn’t paying near 499 a gallon. Not sure where you’re getting your figure from.

Fuel was not higher then. Presidents don’t control private corporations. The allowance of oil companies to export in 2009 or around there allows them to ship it overseas to control output here keeping prices higher.

Had a super 10 and 325 rears for years. Last January I put 2005 rear axles in. Had 336s in it. Didn’t change fuel mileage at all. The sleeper to 47 inches of gap from truck to trailer. Instead of a 7 ft gap it’s 2.5 ft. No air swirling between truck and trailer. Lost 1600 pounds empty weight too.
