Approaching a direct shipper/customer

Hey fella's, Ive done this lots before, just looking to see other ideas that work for future reference. How do you go about approaching a new lead once you've found their info? Do you call, send an email, arrange a meeting in person, or just show up on their doorstep and make your pitch? Explain your steps so that others can see how this is done, this could help alot of guys who are actually serious about running a business here. from TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board https://ift.tt/RCGn9Fg

2019 Cascadia front speaker, how to remove?

Has anyone popped the grill covering the door speakers on a 2019 Cascadia? I'd like to install aftermarket pieces. My radio has the full Sirius xm package, so that stays. I'll be adding a minidsp 2x4 dsp and a powered Klipsch sub to fill in the bottom end. from TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board https://ift.tt/hci23QP

Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

After Moore got merged with E.W.Wylie, and Wylie couldn't handle my no B.S. attitude when saying what I mean to management... hence their insistance that I said I had resigned when I hadn't...I broke my personal rule and returned to a company I had quit years ago. A little over 7 years ago, I left the Acklie family company, Crete. Mostly because I hate micromanaging but also because of the Maxxfarce powered equipment and their 'asset manager' system was still being fine tuned and the...

Importing a used semi truck from canada

Hi, i am looking for an advise on importing a used semi tractor from canada. I am buying it from my close friend. So it won't be through dealer. I wonder if i have to pay excise duty on the border, if yes then how much it would be for a commercial tractor? Also FET (federal excise tax). Will i have to pay F.E.T on current price i will buy it for or the original price of truck ? Thanks from TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum | #1 CDL Truck Driver Message Board https://ift.tt/WNBYhCL

Help please. Ice from trailer cracked a car windshield.

Today a car came speeding up flicking me off trying to get me to pull over. Their windshield was cracked. Nothing major thank god. I didn’t see it happen but I have no reason to think he’s lying. so I stopped at the next rest stop and we talked. We exchanged info but I didn’t get his number. Wish I had. My dispatcher told me to file a claim for when their insurance calls and now I’m kind of freaking out. Is this going on my MVR as an accident? I wish I got his number. I would have just...

SuperSonic TV from Petro

I was just curious if anyone has this TV and how is it ? From online reviews it seems the picture is ok but the sound quality isn't the greatest ?? Also how easy is it to stream stuff from your phone to this ? Not sure if I should get this or something from Best Buy...I got a 2022 midroof Pete and looks like the max size TV is a 24".

Please please I need help in CDL school

I’m 3 days in. Today I was ready to explode after performing well the beginning of the day and tanking at the end. I also feel like everyone expects me to be better than I am by now since it’s a small class size. I need help or just understanding on a few topics if anyone at all wants to chime in. For reference, prior to this I never drove a manual and never drove a semi (only automatic box trucks occasionally). So for me it’s sort of like I’m learning the concept of a manual transmission,...

No new slots currently available for 2022 at this time. If you have trailer orders, sensor orders, or anything trucking related that cannot be...

Heater Issues

I'm willing to bet that somebody here has dealt with this exact issue. Here's your clues: No hot air blowing from front vents, but bunk vents are working properly. Coolant level good. A/C is working throughout truck. Front blower and mode selection knobs are all doing what they should. Middle knob, (the hot/cold one), does not change temperature, just stays at ambient air temp. Now before we start calling out blend door actuators, please specify which one of the 3 you suspect; the one...
