    GPS411......?

    TNHawk, I see no problem with you brokering out a load as a favor to a friend, or a favor to your checking account. The way I see it is it's no one else's business how you run your business.

    I'm sorry you had that bad accident, but doesn't it make the whole situation seem a lil better when you find a place that takes care of their customers? Hope everything continues to work out for you.

    Newbie with questions

    Best bet is gonna be get your class b cdl with air brakes. Even cargo vans require a class c cdl with hazmat. If you go ahead and get the b you will have more options.

    I needed some armor plating one time in chicago when I was pulling a reefer. I was hauling orange juice and some homeboys used it for target practice while I was parked on the consignee's lot on night waiting to unload the next morning. Half the container of oj were empty.

    Tires: Recaps or New for DOT inspection

    The heat really puts a hurt on tires. Recaps or not. The next you stop after you've ran for lil while take your hand and rub it on the tread of your tire. You'll be surprised at how black your hand will be from rubber coming off. And remember you left more than that on the highway.

If a team's week is a bad week, and the next week they are on the truck is a bad one as well they are screwed. If you can't stay out on the...

    Subject: Engineering Problem.

    My dad hauls stuff like that all the time. When you get your permits for the oversize loads your permit tells you what route you can safely drive. The only thing I can figure is the intial impact raised the boom. High loads are supposed to have pole cars in front. So when the pole smacks the...

    New to posting...looking for feedback

    The only other thing I could think of that would make them happier would be to maybe take care of their taxes for them. Like holding them out for them if they want. Just a thought.

    Canada New Laws In Canada

    I don't think everyone running the same speed will be safe. Can you imagine the size of the packs of trucks going down the road. I hate running in those packs. That's why I like having the power to get away from them. Doesn't seem very safe to me.
