NightCreacher, Sorry to hear of your unfortunate series of events. Don't beat yourself up over decisions made. I am sure this is not the first mistake you've made, nor will it be the last...It is the human condition. (and a sign of the times..) Between 3 divorces and at least as many...

Show a little class!!! Panera bread for a wifi signal!!

Sat at noon, Chances of getting a load drop significantly...I actually do head for a state park and get a campsite. Build a fire, cook and so on...16 bucks and I can plug in..do my laundry..take as many showers as I want and sit around the fire and shoot the breeze with the other campers I...

Alright!! The "oracles" are coming out in droves now!!! Great answers and insights guys!

I tend to agree there will be more 3 skid loads for the longer runs...My concern is that profitablely in this market might be negated by increased competition...ie..there are a few more loads...but there are a lot more vans to take them. this would result in overall lower revenues for cargo...

"More" relevent "given new market conditions" is the crux of the question....existing relevence is without question...

I'll hop on and have a look....Highway star said nice things about you and Load 1 so lets learn a little more about you guys...

I thought I'd throw this out for discussion with the "EO Oracles" (I kinda like that term...) Given the new market conditions...i.e. stronger regulations, new HOS, black boxes...do you think cargo vans will become more revelent. And as a result get the longer runs. Part 2.... Do you...

As I remember, the overall "feeling" for that year was that I actually did better than usual because my company had a fuel surcharge at the time. I had a fairly fuel efficient truck and actually made more money with the high fuel surcharges. Overall revenue was down from the prior year but...

I have always thought there should be a fuse box at the front of the the box underneath with 5 seperate circuits. Driver top, Driver Bottom, Passenger Top, Passenger Bottom and Rear... This would make it SO much easier to Locate a marker light problem!!! Also I have heard the new...

I run with two laptops, an Itouch, wireless printer and a kindle. I have had verizon usb broadband modem for some time now. It's been inconvenient to move the modem around, set up computers for sharing and generally access the web from whatever device. The above mentioned Netgear router is...

My answer is scrap all your jumper cables no matter the gauge...!! Go with a booster instead...I remember early years in expediting standing in front of my van/truck holding cables in hand hoping for a kindly driver to help out...some of those waits were very long... I found a...

I did not know Espar could handle gas as well as diesel....Got to hand to those german engineers. I found the unit very easy to install and knocked it off in a days work. As stated in an earlier post...It was expensive...but I definatly feel I got what I paid for... Total comfort in...

Foam and board and Reflectix I found to be very messy, time consuming....and worthwhile. Sprinter has been very comfortable in all types of weather. I would reccomend setting aside the time and just getting the job over with. If you do a little, then run for a while and come back to it..Job...

Reminds me of when I was a young man and consulting with the family business controller... He said something to me that day that has stuck with me ever since... "figures never lie, Reid.....But Liar's figure..." One can never take "statisitcs" at face value....!!

Expediting has a pattern, A loose one, but there is a pattern. Most loads will come between 13:00 and 19:00. You will probably drive till 04:00 to 10:00. I finish my load, Eat a good meal..(This always makes me sleepy) and get 4 to 6 hours of rack time. I wake up, usually have enough time...

Seeker man.... Do you need 100 feet of shore line...?? ...Perhaps a left handed broom??

I also found Staab battery while I was in St. Louis. It is exactly as Turtle describes it. I also got a GREAT deal on Two 12v Deep Cycle batteries. One had a broken rope handle(brand new) and the other was brought back slightly used but check out good. Got both batteries for 128 bucks and have...
