    Sales

    One inexperienced hand leading the other to the poor house. If your supplying the insurance and his expenses, the going rate for a broker salesman is 10-15% off the top of the bill. Thats in my area. That's for every load you haul from his account. So whats the difference between paying...

    Age of Women Driver's

    I had to laugh when I read some of these. Last year when I renewed my CDL I was seated in front of the counter where a lady in her upper 70's maybe even 80's was attempting to read the letters in the eye tester. Quote. "This Machine is broken I can't see any letters honey." After going to...

    Ford Transit adds 1100 jobs

    I don't have a problem with parts availability for Sprinters, it's the cost of labor and parts thats the problem. I don't think I'll be buying a Ford product anytime soon but at least they are giving Sprinter a run for their money. Competition is a good thing. To bad GM can't get on board...

    To flush or not (radiator)

    All the above but when flushing the bugs out do it from the engine side forward. To much water pressure bends the fins blocking air. As said before about ammonia, spray a bunch let it soak and again wash from the engine side. :cool:

    Am I being to picky with DH miles

    Hopefully your not just going by miles and not figuring revenue. A 200 mile trip with 100 mi dh might pay $4-5oo bucks, so be careful. As was said before if all miles are paid could not only be a good load but put you next to a better load when done.
