Those were my thoughts. I have never had a problem at the check stations. They ask a few questions and send me on my way. I have never felt threatened. If I find myself being falsely accused or detained, then I'll consider protecting my rights. Until then..I appreciate the fact that these guys...

It's simple. How do you increase profit margins? You can either raise your prices (rates..in this case) or you can cut costs (rates paid to the contractors..in this case).... or you can do both. The rest is window dressing/damage control.

Yep...I have considered lids for mine also. It is amazing how many customers compliment a clean setup. Mine would be quite a bit different and more similar to yours except that I wanted the metal rails and a bulkhead. My original design would have ran everything all the way to the front like...

Talked to John a little while ago. There was a good story behind that one...it was not a meth lab. It was quite a fiasco.

yep..that will be the story to the fleet. Now...call their sales dept and ask about getting something shipped. I'm betting that rates to the customer are going up if anything. It's business and it's a matter of how ruthless you want to be. Btw...we better get out of the february thread...lol

wow, I thought mine had a nice, "clean" look to it. You definitely have me beat though. Do you have storage along the sides...between the freight area and the inside walls?

Well, they were already looking at options for their yellow fleet. E-1 had to cut their rates to attract them. Until now, the rates were just too good.

barely anywhere. This setup almost eliminates access..lol. It is still usable...and handy... but definitely restricted. I really like the current setup though. Now...if your talking about that metal structure on the side.. that is a bulkhead.

the two of you fight like sisters :)

Here is a pic of mine. I just measured and the two outside rows are 38" center to center. Seems to work out about right. The center row is very handy.

Congratulations to Tom and Tina! Also to Dale. It's nice when a plan works out, eh?

mobile meth lab...i'm guessing?

I was #1 in Arkansas last I checked :thumbup: :D

Hey John, just saw this. The expedite industry is losing a true professional. I wish you and your family all the best!

LOL.... exactly! I didn't either, but I know enough about it to know there is nothing easy about dairy farming...even if somebody gave it to ya...lol

In Lansing. I-69.was crappy north of I-80, but nothing like Turtle described over there. I ran 45-50 up to the delivery. Worked out...but I'm oos until I see what it looks like tomorrow. I have to get to the yard for a qc replacement...mine died. Be safe out there. I saw several in the...

you better get some sleep. Thats exactly how my load happened last night. It took from 10pm to 6am for them to get desperate enough to accept the offer...lol.

Much safer....an armored one is best....lol

Hazmat should feel violated :D The milk and cookies were good..... thanks! :D

yeah...and it works too :D On my way to Lansing :thumbup: Steve absolutely pulled one out of mid-air last night...heck of a job!
