The biggest reason to do an engine oil analysis
Just like a blood test can show signs of a problem in the body, an engine oil sample can show signs of problems with your truck - even if that problem isn’t really associated with the engine oil itself.
Oil sampling can sound like a sophisticated ordeal but it’s really not. If you don’t have a lubricant supplier you can reach out to any lab you want, or even buy a sample kit off the shelf at a parts store or dealership.

Why aren’t more carriers using heavy-duty electric trucks?
Просмотров 578День назад
Like it or not, electric trucks are probably going to be the next biggest thing in trucking at some point. AT SOME POINT - because depending on who you talk to, that point in time is either already here, a few years away or a few decades away. EVs right now are making the most impact in a few places: where miles traveled are really low, where cargo volume is low (or light), or where they are ba...

Fleet maintenance systems: How vulnerable to cyber-attacks are they?
Просмотров 19121 день назад
A recent report from Colorado State showed that drivers’ ELDs were a point of cyber security vulnerability but the threat of a cyber breach isn’t so much about the ELD itself; it’s about a cyber pirate gaining access to a fleet’s telematics system. Just because a truck untethered rolling down the highway doesn’t mean it’s protected in any way from a cyber breach and threats loom when that truck...

    I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that MX-11 information (such as reliability issues, problems in general) is so difficult to find. It's like the engine doesn't exist. The only thing I can find are these initial test drive videos.

    Not aerodynamic thus less efficient than Tesla Semi. Hay Steve, the cab over design was only for European Markets which rejected Nikola on all levels for good reasons, now Nikola is stuck with the wrong product for the North America Markets. Again, Tesla has the right stuff.

They treat us like we are on fucking probation while we keep this country running we aren’t criminals

    I’ve been a trucker since 2015. I injured my back years ago at the gym and found weed helps the most with the pain without the side effects of pills. I’m always scared of losing my livelihood because of what I do on my own time and how I choose to medicate. I’m leaving the business soon, it’s gotten way too regulated and politicized. The industry is trash now and not worth the bs!

    I will have NO part in owning or renting a light duty EV or anything larger either, GARBAGE! @1:20 the useless comic books really take away from this mans' credibility, sir that stuff is useless, use it for toilet paper or burn it because that's the only useful thing it can be used for in life, or maybe soak up an oil puddle... Be a man. That cost estimate thing, the electric rates can flucuate quite a bit depending on what utility company supplies the charger, that's not a locked in rate just like buying fuel, it can vary, and as demand for electricity goes up so will the cost for all the rest of us too. Delo is good, but I've been using Rotella T6 for a long time, you won't talk me out of it or into a truck with a DPF to care about lol.
