You missed my point on that so I'll reword it. Why should it matter to anyone else who you drive for? I drive for a decent sized t/t company out of Louisiana and love it. Get home 3 weekends a month minimum, and make decent money. I'm happy with it and so is my wife and son. That's all that...

Why does it matter what size truck you drive or who drive for anyway? I was in a t/t, then a s/t, then my own t/t, now in a company t/t. All that matters is that you're happy and taking care of who/what you need to take care of. Sent from my XT1058 using EO Forums mobile app

I can understand where there coming from after the murders and murder/suicides that have occurred at the hands of NFL players in recent history, and I'm about the biggest proponent of the 2nd Amendment out there. Sent from my XT1058 using EO Forums mobile app

Steer axle weight is 12k unless you got some bigger tired on your steer. If you're spending 100k on a truck why not get one with tandem drives? It will give you more load opportunities.

I don't have anything constructive to add to the thread so I'll just criticize others for their improper use of a word. Sure wish I had a load.

Straight truck drivers lol j/k

I guess I'm gonna shut it down at the house for the night. When I deliver in Olive Branch,MS I'll have 6,686 miles for the month so far.

I was at the Iowa 80 this summer on Memorial Day I had a load to deliver the next day close by. I was hanging out drinking tea and had 3 or 4 drivers constantly offering to buy my dinner because they thought I was broke because I wasn't eating. I had just planned on killing time before I ate. It...

Would you care to elaborate on that?

Your best bet is to try to develop a lane where you have multiple customers to pull freight for on both ends. That's what I do. I've got my Memphis customers and my Ohio customers. It works for me, and I'm doing good. I keep a load on my back and I keep rolling. I don't haul at discount rates...

I run a KW W-900 for the moment, pulling a 53' Great Dane air ride dry van. I've got a steady customer in the Memphis area going to Ohio. My problem seems to be when I get to Ohio and trying to get loads back to Memphis. I've got a few customers up there, but the freight isn't real steady. I can...

Oh yeah I'm doing great.

I'll try not to. I didn't realize there was an app for the iPhone and rarely get on my computer as my wife does the vast majority of my dispatching and load planning.

Sounds like its either brake dust, which I doubt depending on how new everything is, or a rough spot on the drums. I've got a rough spot on one of my drums and every so often that rough spot will get in just the right place to make it sound like the front end is about to fall off. In my case...
