    Which would be safer?

    I was always more rested/alert under the old rule where you could take breaks throughout the day without worrying about your 14 hr clock. Also, same posted speed for everyone, seems to work in the non-liberal states out west like Az. It's not like the 4 wheelers are going to do the speed limit...

    22 vs 24 vs 26 foot box

    I thought I had the right set-up. I bought a 2002 Intl tractor, 72" bunk, SINGLE axle and added a generator and pulled a 40' liftgate trailer. Landstar let me call/list it as a D unit so agents would see me in the system. Worked out well until I parted ways with my driver..lol. Just when you...

    Come on Greg, I've never jumped on the "lets get greg bandwagon", and now you're attacking me for my polished liftgate. I expected more from my brothers at leam...lol Phil, have you considered "cash for clunkers" to off-set the future cost of a new engine.

    bike/motorcycle/etc on straight truck?

    Our late friend John O from here on Eo carried his Yamaha 500cc enduro type bike in his 22 box w/liftgate. He had a wonderful time with it in the desert out west. Usually , if your 22 box is that full, you ain't expediting. Read John's old posts about it, if you like. RIP John

    Where are you gonna run to now?

    No, we have express agts who call and OFFER loads, you decide. You can use the Regular load board for CHEAP freight to move you, but most don't. You can also call agts that you may know haul out of a certain area, but that is also a crapshoot. I think most sit and wait for the phone to ring.....

    A video worth its weight in silence!

    As a retired cop an old saying comes to mind," when you wrestle with a pig in the mud, after a while you realize the pig is having a goodtime" . You give a cop a hard time or delay him, he will normally find something to reward your efforts. I try to cooperate and show a professioal attitude...
