HI On most loads they load and unload you with a forklift, unless its light enough for you to carry. Most of us have a bunk built behind the seats or along the wall.It just matters how much you want to spend or how handy you are with tools.Since you will be having to sleep at all times of the...

If an owner is offering you $.30 per mile and he pays fuel and tolls you need to jump on that or e-mail me his name and phone # .

Yes I agree we are a great country.Over the holiday weekend the kids had a party for the local marines who were back on leave before being shipped out to Iraq.My son went to power line school so abunch of his friends work for the electric company.At 02:00 Saturday the Marines where dispatched to...

HI While watching the news last night and this morning heard that some states are going to drop thier gas tax. Anybody know if this includes the tax on diesel. So far I've heard it's Ohio and Wisconsin.Sure hope other states follow suit.

Hi How can you guys afford all these toys? Sure hope you saved some of your money for the slow times.This is the busy time!I'll stick with reading books and talking to other expediters.

Hi Sorry to hear that. It's a shame that it's coming to this.Best of luck!

HI Have only run 1 tank worth, and found no difference. Hopefully more truck stops will start selling it.

Hi no way, nodda, absolutly not! There is a slight chance that the carriers are going to come to our aid (p2's message on 9-1). My feeling is why should they, when they can bring in 5-6 new people per week who can run on they're own personal savings and line of credit.Watch and see for about 2...

HI Personally I'd steer clear of putting a van on right now.There are too many out there right now. I've only talked to 1 or 2 that are making it. And here is why. 1. Income is stagnant. 2. Cost are up. 3. Too much competition for loads. Carriers have to low bid loads just to get freight on...

HI Yep it works just like your weather box at home. This way if your asleep or driving down the road with it turned off it can notify you.

HI I have the Cobra 29 with weather station.It's saved my behind twice. Once while sleeping in a rest area in Dayton it woke me up for a tornado and once while rolling to Lansing it went off with a tornado alert I looked over to the south and could actually see the tornado coming through so I...

As the holiday nears I thought I'd ask a question unrelated to trucks.What is the biggest fish you have ever caught? Give some details such as bait, weather conditions and general location.

RE: IS ANYBODY MAKING MONEY DRIVING WITH THESE GA I'd call that venting not whining. One good thing that could come from Katrina is a lack of fuel and gasoline.I know that sounds stupid but #1 it might force scientist to come up with a good alternative to petro based products.#2 it will effect...

Yes RobA it seems we do forget about Canada and we shouldn't. A freind of mine who works for LMI enlightened me years ago about how Canadians are usually the first to come to the USA's aid and visa versa. I think the problem or maybe the best thing about it is, its the citizens and not the...

HI Its a cargo van.Part of my problem is where I live, I usually load Monday for Canada and get stuck up there until Wed. If I bounce out of CND its to MI for abunch of short loads. Just can't seem to get out of the rut.

HI I only have one problem with a shut down. Its not fair to the customers that have been paying +10cent fsc for the last 3 years. I feel these customers should be applauded not kicked in the teeth. But I guess its not going to matter once fuel goes above $3.00 a gallon because most of us will...

HI I agree with the wife. A house that went for $100,000 5 years ago is now selling for $250,000. Thats $150,000 profit and a tax write-off and if you rented it out for the five years at $500.00 per month thats $30,000.Plus women are always right, period, no question asked!

HI Call contractor relations: this stuff has to stop.Dispatch has been on a roll with me for the last 2 weeks. They gave me a no responce because I turned down a load 2 minutes after it showed up on QC. It weighted twice as much as I can legally haul. THey gave me a service failure for being 4...

Thanks, yes it does.

HI Can anyone tell me the rules for a truck crossing into Canada with just part of a load and the remaining freight coming in on another truck.Did one of these a few weeks ago, what a mess.After talking to a broker I'm not the only one having a problem with this. Any help would be greatly...
