I don't care one way or the other. It's part of the contract like it or not. That being said when at Panther Orientation in 2007, when the Urine testing was announced. At least 6 persons got up, left the room and never returned.:p

A E 150 is a half ton van. 1500 -2000 lbs on a regular basis will ruin it in a hurry I would think.:rolleyes:

Re: We want your input on a radio show on truckers. Would the show be on the order of "Car Talk"?. A couple of songs for you. "I'm looking at the world through a windshield", Del Reeves, "Truck Drivers Queen" ( that could be taken a couple of ways):p Moore & Napier, "Tombstone every mile" Dick...

My Cat scale ticket is 7080lbs. I don't use a bunk. I have a couple of foam mattress pads from Dollar General and a sleeping bag, a couple of blankets. Cooler, 12' chain, 4 straps, couple gallons of Shell Rotella, some paper back books & some tapes, 5 lb bag of dry dog food & some canned dog...

I have a E 350 ext, Diesel. With the two dogs, myself, what I take on the road & a full tank of fuel I'm rated for over 2400 lbs. It would seem you should be able to get along with out some things. And I don't mean your bride.:p

You'll find a pictorial essay of Le Chef's ride in the Truck Talk section of this marvelous site.:p

Not knowing much about "Factoring" what happen when the Company you have hauled, say $4000.00 worth of freight for fails to pay the Factoring company?. Does the Factoring company eat it. Or come back after the Owner (you) for the money.:rolleyes: Minus what ever % you were charged to begin with.

Good to hear you arrived safe & sound. Here's to a pleasant future.:p

Why not work out something with your Financial provider where your with in your means. Grow at a more moderate rate, to keep your overhead lower?.
