Lol, I,m in chicago, I've had 14 load offers all less than a buck a mile, except one which was a hundred mile run with 3 stops for 150. Even a Laredo texas run with less than 50 miles dead head came in at .97 Total for 6500 pounds. I think the fecc bokers must be passing a crack pipe around

I have noticed whenever I buy fuel at TA my truck sounds terrible. Knocking valvex louder turbo, more vibration. These symptoms disappear when I run Pilot fuel. Has anyone else noticed this pn there truck or is it a mental issue with me.

How often do you guys change your shocks, I for the first time changed the shocks on my HINO, 350k miles - which my mechanic thinks is KRAZY. I noticed the ride in the rear of the truck had become sloppy, the front shocks had resistance on the pull but not the push, so I guess they are shot too...

I use On The Go Transportation Services, to proccess my IRP, through CA DMV. This year we paid our registration 30 days early to make sure it was done ON TIME. We were told that we should have our NEW cab card before the old one expired. Well our cab card expired on the Sept. 30th, no new card...

It occurred to me today that, the reason there seems to be so much more disparit between clink and VrU load counts is that FECC is passing more of our frieght to their owned divisions like Supply Chain Services. Im no newbie with FECC so I have a basis to know that thought there was occasionall...

I was talking to TranCom, today and they told me the Freight tonnage to capacity ratio is improving and though it is not great, the decline has stopped and is now moving up. This should help with rates. Of course things should be picking up in general anyway seasonally. Just thought U...

Anyone who is operating a Straight truck with their own authority, and willing to give advice please PM me THANKS

Today I called in to hear the FECC recorded call of the week. I was pretty amused to know the 9 cent fuel surcharge is there for me. Especially, in light of the fact that everyone has dropped their shorts rate wise to begin with. It made me smile for the first time in months. Also I had a...

He's a speech I wrote for McCain, he wont give it, but I think you'd like to read it. My fellow Americans, over the last week my offices have been barraged by calls from you, with the best of intentions, opposing Hank Paulsons bailout plan. I understand how you feel, in fact I used to...
