For those who are new to driving a big rig would find the following article helpful on the many ways to save on diesel fuel and save some money in the process. Check your tire pressure. Although it may seem quite a simple step, but in fact, it can go a long way in lowering the fuel usage in fuel lube trucks by around 2% with proper inflation of the tires.

It Make Sense For Quick Lubes For Having Mobile Oil Change Services

In the oil change sector, Quick Lubes businesses consider that they are running a superior business model, while those in the mobile oil changing sector consider their business format to be the best. However, the reality is that, under the right situations, both the methodologies work fine. For instance, WalMart is not expected to buy a fleet of mobile oil change vehicles when it comes to providing services to their customers at nearby places. However, the thing to consider is that WalMart has its own auto center that works fine in changing people’s oil requirement, and provide their services to line of cars. Undoubtedly, their strategy of providing low- cost high-volume services is doing quite well, and now it has made a name of itself worth considering, and price points of them are quite competitive. Still, it would do well for quick lubes of owning a minimum of a single oil service vehicle. This would help them to provide oil change in vehicles of local fleets like tow truck c...

The Huge Importance of Fuel Lube Trucks For Field Lube Jobs

Getting High-Powered Heavy Duty Pickup Using Synthetic Gear Lube

The present heavy-duty pickups are increasingly becoming high-powered to pull more loads. The availability of powerful V-10 engines and turbo-diesel has helped the modern pickup in pulling greater number of loads than what it used to be previously. The American-made pickups like the heavy trailer have seen its horsepower rise by 93% since 1981. In the last decade itself, the average horsepower has risen by 34% that was the result of intense competition among manufacturers and consumer demands for lucrative truck sales. This has led to pickups like the Ford F-350 Super Duty to tow quite heavy loads with a fifth wheel package.  The torque, extreme loads and horsepower of the pickups passing through the differentials has led to the need for improved gear lubes. Different tests undertaken have shown the presence of industry-wide problems related to heavy duty differentials with the kind of lubricants that are used.  In one test, a heavy duty pickup that towed up a ...

Anyone seeing a skid-mounted module would make him or her think of working on an oilfield construction crew as part of summer job. In spite of not having a lube truck, the maintenance truck made for bumpy ride due to its heaviness, on some poorly maintained roads. However, if it was possible to separate the heavy steel maintenance box from the truck body each day, the driver would have found it easier to carry his mug of hot coffee without the possibility of spilling it while driving the truck to the work site.  The weight of lube trucks are quite heavier compared with maintenance truck and it is so especially when liquids are carried on the truck that are needed to keep the equipment running and that includes fuel. One standard feature of Skid Mounted Lube Truck is its polyethylene tanks that are very lighter (about 80%) compared with equivalent-sized steel tanks.  Finally, the main advantage of the module is that there are three integrated lift point...
