    Looking for input on building a C-unit

    To me a C unit is a 1 ton cube van and if your going to haul 5000# your going to be over 10001# GVW and you are going to have to log and scale. So if your planning on logging and scaling you would be better off running a D unit and haul 13500# and be able to haul more loads. Fr8 Shaker

    Rolling Hills and Passing

    My answer probably won't be the correct one but what I do is (if you have the power) just hammer on it a bit till they are at least a 1/2 mile or more behind you then you can go back to cruise for awhile until someone in front of you slows you down and they catch up again LOL.

    Is Panterii going to buy TriState?

    What do you think that Panther, Fed Ex, Tri-State and the others don't farm out loads that they can't cover whether it's driver turn down or no trucks in the area. Were Conway drivers supposed to take these loads at a loss to their profit just to keep Conway in business. I think not. You...

    Is Panterii going to buy TriState?

    Well the fuel surcharge switch or fuel matrix that Conway liked to call it was because drivers were refusing to haul those low fuel surcharge loads like GE which the fuel surcharge was .04 mile when fuel itself was at or close to it's highest price ever. And Conway was saying they needed to do...
