Custom Rigs gets its own makeover
Just like the custom rigs it covers in print, Custom Rigs’ website, www.CustomRigsMag.com, has received a major facelift. The site now offers technical forums hosted by industry experts such as Chrome Shop Mafia and Outlaw Customs. There is also an expanded selection of videos, feature and technical articles, and truck show coverage.

Should you replace that engine?
That can be a tough call. To get some guidance, mark your calendar for 8 p.m. (CDT) Sept. 10. John Dolce, a fleet maintenance specialist who’s now a management consultant, will present “Repair vs. Rebuild vs. Replace” to help owner-operators evaluate the best way to deal with an aging truck or engine. To register for the free online seminar, visit www.truckerwebinars.com. This webinar is part of the Partners in Business program, which is produced by Overdrive, owner-operator business services firm ATBS, and sponsored by the load-matching service TruckersEdge, powered by TransCore DAT.
