Yes sir. I have built 3 trucks in the past two and a half years. I have put every truck up for sale within a few months after putting them into service. Why? As a ordained minister, I get folks asking me to candidate for the pastorate of their church. Sad to say that so many churches...

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration This site will provide you with verification of the 10000lb GVWR exemption. Mississippi is a state that does not require a DOT# for that class of trucks. Uniden CB Any Excel spreadsheet should work OK. Microsoft.com has many free templates...

Uh, what part of changing the way I do business did not you not perceive as "thinkin' outside da box?" No woes here! Just planning for all possibilities. Having a great time grilling out today. Had a nice 2 mile walk around the track with mamasan just a 1/4 mile from the hooch. Looking...

Yes, husband and wife teams are the only ones I have personally spoken with that we able to stay a team for longer than 6 - 12 months. Money maker? Well, if it has a custom manufactured sleeper with all the goodies installed...it could not even legally load 2000lbs of cargo. Think not? Go...

Ditto! I have sold two trucks on EO for free! Wait a minute, I helped a persoanl friend sell his too, because he didn't know how to use the computer. So that makes three. Thank you Lawrence. Keep those ads coming. I like em'.

Generally speaking, many trucks sitting everywhere. Last week, a friend allowed me to sit and look at load boards with him. We studied the idle times and the number of units in each area. I was shocked at the number of available units. Worse yet, 70% of the trucks on the boards we reviewed...

Are you referring to broker boards? PS. Please let us know when you feel like a "First Class" citizen again. I am curious about how that works.

GM Diesel in any chassis greater than a 3500. If you were just going to drive it locally, I wouldn't be so concerned as to whether it was a Ford or GM chassis. Now...expediting is another matter. There are more GM service facilities nationwide than Ford and Dodge combined. Should you...

Mike, The ocean pics were taken on Fripp Island, SC. It sits 19 miles out from Beaufort, SC. Fripp, Pritchards' and Capers Islands all share the same land mass. They are separated by small salt water creeks that cut across the land mass. From the south end of Fripp Island I can look...

It has been my experience that asking one simple question helps me personally to better understand if they are asking, "How much do I actually gross," or "What is my net profit," or "Can I make a living as an expediter?" As mentioned earlier on, it is usually the latter. Why? Most folks...

My answer is actually a question: "How much do you need to make?" Once that number is offered, I can then reply whether it is practical, or not even possible, to assume that amount of income from this type of truck. Moreover, I always ask if they have ever driven a commercial truck in an...

OK. Everybody stop and inhale deeply. Actually, 10 inhalations and exhalations. It seems to me that God, who spoke this universe into existence, really doesn't need our help to decide its fate. Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is...

Talked with several drivers while fueling.... Responses....very, very slow. Talked with some on the phone while driving last... Responses....vans averaging 600-700 miles per week. Solo straights averaging 1100 miles per week. And yes, there will always be exceptions (a few) that prove the...

I never turn the key unless dispatch can verify the weight. It is simply not a good business practice to simply send a load offer indicating "Weight Unknown, Dimensions Unknown." Moreover, serious ramifications may arise if dispatch responds to an O/O's inquiry regarding the freight with...

I'm so new I haven't even started yet! Seriously... I currently work for GM, and am eying an early-retirement package about a year or two down the road. I've been laid off enough recently to know that I'm too young for a rocking chair, but I never want to work a "conventional" job again...
