That is a nice truck, but from what I can tell, it has 2 axles, right? With that sleeper, and all the bells and whistles, I dont see how that could be a feasible "work truck." By this I mean, after you subtract the weight of the truck, how much could you legally put in that box? Scott

Well, I have made a note on the restaurants you guys are talking about, but how about a "Not so great eats?" I can tell you personal experience with the worst restaurant I have been to in the past decade, and that would be the Midway Family Restaurant, half way between Harrisburg and Allentown...

John, I sent you a personal message. If you did not get it, let me know by means of this thread, and I will give you the info via other means. Scott

The funny this with the company in question, is the fact that they do not respond to anything in their defense. Just about any Expediter out there who has a computer, and has internet access, knows about EO. You would think that a rep from this company would possibly join our group, and try to...

That is funny as hell. Will copy and paste that one for later use. Scott

Dont know about you guys, but if I eat one meal a day while on the road, I am doing good. Usually take stuff for sandwiches and keep pops cold. Goes the same for Motel (not Hotel). I run a day cab, and I think I stay i a 45.00 a night Motel 6 approximately twice a month. I know if somebody...

Yep, dead right now, at least where I am at. I am in Lansing, so most of my work alwasy originates out of and returns to Detroit. I am running a straight truck, and drove down town to do a couple local runs. Hung around afterwards for 2 hours, then called dispatch and told them I was going home...

Oh my god, you are right.......Cheese and rice! Well, argument over, you win! I hit the e instead of the o; shows what an idiot I am! Oh well, sometimes you have time to hit the spell checker, sometimes not. You must just chew up us "rightys" and spit us out all day long. I bow to your genuis...

My friend, That is exactly why you and your party will not be in power for a long long time. I do not repeat what I hear. I read newspapers, web logs, radio shows (both right and left) and instead of being somebody who makes an informed decision based on propenderance of evidence, I am merely...

Well, I guess that if there were a Political Thoughts forum, it would certainly belong there. Move the thread to wherever it belongs best; nothing more than people sharing views and ideas. I almost forgot about the esteemed Carl Levin. One of the forerunners in the obstructionist effort to...

Here is my problem with Dems........I greatly enjoy listening to anybody who has a point of view that is supported by fact. What really is a terrible thing is when you listen to somebody try to make a point about the President being a sell out and an idiot, blah blah blah, and can not support...

RE: The care and maintenance of box floors........ OK, I understand that I may be getting off subject, but regarding truck boxes and pallet jacks....One question; Most of you guys have sleepers on your trucks, may I ask what size your box is? I have a 28 foot box with a day cab, but of course...

RE: Information on getting number for "Toes" Go to the "Class 8 Stretching" Thread under "Truck Talk." Toes posted a response in there, so where his name is, just click on the icon under his name for sending a message. Im sure there is an easier way, but this will work for sure. Could you guys...

RE: The care and maintenance of box floors........ Thats exactly my problem. I have a pallet jack, but do not carry it anymore for 2 different reasons: First, since most of my work is automotive, automotive means UAW. When I get to the plant, the procedure is generally, 1.) park outside 2.) go...

RE: The care and maintenance of box floors........ Great advice! Im going to check around and see who has that around my area, and for how much. Good point though, generally, our trucks or only loaded to a small percentage of their actual capacity. Scott

Just wondering if I could get a little info from others......I am one of the Detroit fellas, running a straight truck. As a result, the nature of 95% of my freight is automotive. Anybody that hauls alot of automotive, knows about the nasty, greasy, oily parts that go in the metal baskets and...

Thank you for the information. I am going to check these guys out again. I will consider myself "informed." I think any of you guys who do a majority of automotive work, would agree with me when I say I start to break out in a cold sweat and my blood pressure starts to rise when anyone mentions...

Oh man, a fellow Michigander. Yep, I encountered the same thing this morning. I think my truck weighed an extra 2 or 3 thousand pounds with its cocoon of ice over everything. I could just barely lift the roll up door. Terrible driving on; 40 miles an hour from Lansing to Detroit, and I still got...

Hey gang, I am not trying to start and trouble or anger anybody, but this OOIDA, I briefly looked at their site; is this a good thing, or a bad thing? It almost appears to be the equivalent of the UAW, and now I must go wash my mouth out for even mentioning those 3 letters. The only reason I...

Oh yeah......also known as a dock high load. Meaning- the shortest dock high straight trucks have an 18 foot box ( at least from what I have seen) and as a result, that is the least paying for straight trucks. Unfortunately, there are more of those loads than others. I did alot of local work in...
