It would be neat to have a SYSCO S/S trailer (polished of course) to pull around. Nightcreacher, how many loads would you loose if you had only 32' and not 53'? t.

Could I get a kind of percentage of the amount of space your loads take up? IOW, of the loads that you've put on your C or D unit, how many would fit in a: 14' 16' 18' 20' 22' 24' box? Not worried about the heigth, width or weight, just the length. Thanks t.

As I went through Cinci yesterday I looked over in the South bound lane and there it was. The same unit that someone else talked about in a previous thread about "why don't we use short trailers as well as 24' straight trucks?" Well there is was being pulled by an older redish KW T600 with a 32'...

I was going north on I-75 in Ohio last night and it looked like High School just got out and everyone that had a car was hitting the road. Except it was Expediters and their vans, sprinters, Straight Trucks and T/T's. Everybody was running south and I saw tons of vans from Tri-State and...

Really good list Bob. But the program will have to extend to a 3 or 4 day event with all of these classes. I want to go to all of them. I attended all of the classes this year and liked that time spent better than walking around and seeing the the booths for the 10th time. This might be an...

McBride: Very good breakdown on Non-breakdowns. What kind of percent of linehaul do you put away to beable to do that on a regular program? Don't need to know how much or how much you have in the bank or how big your credit card is. Just trying to find the % that is needed every week/month to...

It was a good time had by all on both of the days. I was really glad to see the increase in the lines on Sat. Thanks to all at EO and everyone else that participated. When I walked outside I saw a face with a smile from ear to ear. I walked up to him and said "because of the smile I'd bet your...

I live in a remote spot in Michigan where not much freight is shipped from. So on Sunday or Monday I sometimes (make that usually) I reposition myself to one of the bigger citys that are about 100 to 150 miles away from my home. My quesiton is: are my miles driving to this remote setting as...

Question: When I stay overnight at the expo do I stay at the Community Center or at the local truck stop at exit 50? If the Center do they have "facilities" for us? If so what are they and will they be open 24 hours? If the Truck Stop... Whats the 3 choise? There is no parking at the truck...

FTF: Congrats on the good buy and Good luck on the new job. Sounds like just the right unit. I've been thinking of one of those to. Does he have any more? Whats his number? Did you have any time in the saddle with a straight truck or a D unit before this? Drive safe. t.

Lawrence: Could you please tell me if there is a site that I can go to that gives pictures and complete write up on the truck that is to be given away? I've been looking for it in one of the magizines but haven't seen it. So if there is a site to go to that would have all the info I would like...

What about runnin with the Big Dog? How bout a 2000 Mack CH613 Vison with E7 460 motor and 18 speed and a 80" stand-up sleeper? Has all the power goodies and low miles. Would this be a good one to take to the 40' mark? You better say yes cause someone is going to win one like it on Sat. Right...

I'm looking forward to verbaly waffleing rather than from white line to white line for a little while. t.

KW: Is your unit a standard sleeper unit? Or do you have an aftermarket sleeper added to a day cab? If it's a standard sleeper how long is it? Where did you put your tandem wheels in relation to the 24' box? I've been looking at some that have the tandem set about 1'-0" back of the...

when does that issue come out? I saw a cover shot of what I think is the latest issue and noticed that I didn't have it. t.

RE: SPECS FOUND it's a long list folks Thanks guys. I talked to a Sprinter Service man today and he said that it would cost $3k for labor to rebuild plus maybe half again in parts. I told him about the milage and he said not to worry. He has several customers with 300k plus miles and doing...
