    New member: Upstate NY

    Lets see, I guess I would live in Extreme South Western NYS... I always figured the cut off was Interstate 84, anything south and east of the interstate was "DOWNSTATE" and anything North or West was "UPSTATE". Welcome to the site, not having been here long, I can say there are some great...

    Got stuck with commercial plates in ny, whats the weight of an 08?

    It was until just a few years ago that ALL pickup trucks in NY recieved Commercial License Plates. There was a change due to the commute in the NYC metro area with the parkways and NY decieded that pickups under 5500lbs could recieve passenger plates if requested, then they were sure that the...

    Got stuck with commercial plates in ny, whats the weight of an 08?

    Licensing in NY Vehicles in NY are licensed by GVW not curb weight. You might get DMV to let you license below the 5500lb limit and get your passenger plates, but if you get stopped towing a trailer or with a bedload of dirt, look like your working, and they weigh you and your over the GVW on...

    Old biodiesel

    Biodiesel is just like normal petrodiesel, it does not go bad per say, but it does grow allgee(green plant), why it looks like fudge is unknown to me. Any of the biodiesel I have ever made has a yellowish tint to it, even starting with some nasty looking brown waste vegetable oil. I probably...

    Haul PAYS $1000! Need BOB Deuce del Socal to Amarillo area

    Thats a good deal that you found someone. HUSTLE is the name of the game in most businesses, but it really stands to truth in trucking. You have to be willing to do what others will not.

    Haul PAYS $1000! Need BOB Deuce del Socal to Amarillo area

    I believe you mean "LTL" Less than Truckload, there are many open carriers(flatbed, step/drop deck, auto carriers) that load several different items going generally in the same direction, that pay generally less than a truckload rate. 86 cents per mile for a little less than a half of a...

    This one goes out to the newer guys looking for their first deuce...

    NY does not and will not issue an title for any vehicle older than 1973, you can register a vehicle with just a bill of sale(it must also acceptable VIN number), aslong as the vehicle is not reported stolen or somthing is fishy with the vehicle in the DMV computer.
