    FRESH START FEBRUARY

    2 days after the news and no one has mentioned Bolt bought PTL out. This is getting to be the retirement home.

    Mapping program

    Good old MS Streets & Trips used to let you either put in a speed or let you say you were slower or faster than "average". Why not just use the expedite rule of 45 or 50 mph? Google runs the trip at posted speed limits but will factor in traffic it sees at the moment you run the trip or...if...

    And This....is 2020

    Off topic a bit but, my vote is RV conversion RoadTime. I have had mine planned out for a while.

    NYC LONG ISLAND FREIGHT RATES

    A lot of 'carriers' are increasingly becoming 'brokers' these days. The bottom feeders aren't exactly living off direct customer freight.

    2000 FL70, CAT 3126 TRANSMISSION SWAP

    Going from a 6 speed medium duty to a full size 9 or above is not a 'simple swap'. The transmissions have very different mounts, clutches and dimensions, including where the shifter comes through the floor. They also are significantly heavier. It is doable....but it will be a lot of money and...

    Worst cities to drive in

    Anywhere in the greater Toronto area sux. I would take a steady diet of NYC or D.C. over even one trip in the GTA.

    December 2019 Yo Ho Ho and A Bottle of Rum

    Back in the days of another carrier, I had a place in Manhattan we frequently went that you drove off the street into an elevator...went down a while...and then drove out of the elevator onto a turntable that turned you around to back into a sort of semi circle open dock....was pretty amazing to...

    Fork lift loading for small box trucks with a lift gate.

    Sure....if you want to plate it for more than the GVWR that GM rates it for. Single rear wheel, 9900 max.

    Gobble up Load 1

    Would be nice to be able to reply to quotes. Being able to say "$50 more and I'm OK" or "bid is too high I'm OK with $xxx" would be nice. My experience is I'd be using the "too high" reply more often. Had 2 load offers this week that were over $2.50/mile.... we'll never win bids like that. It...

    Advertisements

    Considering all the ads are for straight trucks and tractors, and the only people left on here are vanners, I'm thinking the advertisers aren't getting much bang for thier buck either. That and the fact that 98% of the members are gone/mia it seems. I don't do Facebook, but is the Facebook...
