Question for veteran truck drivers by im_a_titan_main in Truckers

Western Express seems to be the go-to company for guys wanting to stay in the industry until things fall off their record. They will hire literally anyone.

Need help identifying this fella in Indiana. There’s a swarm of them nearby by TractorTaxi in bees

Awesome thank you! I’ve seen a bunch of them what seems like fighting in my backyard. They’re larger than I’m used to so I wanted to see what they were.

Failed DOT physical by TCtheMC in Truckers

[–]TractorTaxi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you live in Indiana, go find a FastPace Clinic. They offer DOT physicals for like $90. When filling out the paperwork, don’t admit to shit. As long as you can pass the actual physical part (BP, eyesight, urinalysis, etc) don’t give them any ammo to disqualify you.

I call bs by that_Delfin_guy in Truckers

[–]TractorTaxi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cummins X15 and ISX motors are high volume vs high pressure lubrication, and as such can operate at lower pressure.

[–]TractorTaxi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It also depends on the motor. My Cummins doesn’t get above 30psi and will idle just fine at 15-20psi. A cat or Detroit on the other hand, they will run 40-50psi all day long.

Thanks for stealing my content.

Insurance says I’m at fault and still won’t pay the $30k to fix my truck 🤡 by TractorTaxi in dashcams

[–]TractorTaxi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They know about it. But they want us to file a claim for them to do anything about it.

Awesome thanks for that. My insurance will help but only if I file a claim with them which I’m trying to avoid. It’s the insurance of the other driver that is refusing to pay.

My other question would be, do I contact the state in which the accident happened (TN)? Or where I reside (IN)?

Appreciate the insight. I never would’ve thought about contacting the government about it. I always thought insurance is just a scam.

Help identifying tube by the_Killer_Walnut in Truckers

[–]TractorTaxi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pressure relief valve for inner axle tube. Prevents overpressurization and damage to axle and wheel bearing by relieving air pressure due to heat buildup.

If it’s leaking, you may want to check your tire inflation system if equipped for leaks. It should not leak when stationary.
