WILL DO! It was marked 13' 6", but not a lot of clearance, the hotel folks were watching for me. TS

Week one solo (after a week of training) is in the books. Flew from Oregon to Kansas City and picked up a truck and then drove to Charleston, WV for a show, currently on my way to Chicago area for shows next week, 1025 miles for the week. Motel every night including a $237 room at this...

Not quite that, BUT close, kind of a flat rate deal, driving or at a show, BUT all miles over 330 a day pay an additional amount per mile, if you are down at a hotel for whatever reason, hotel and per diem are paid full rate and a lessor daily rate for wages, BUT you can at least maintain at a...

The vehicles are owned by the medical equipment company and they contract the operation to a local logistics company, I believe there are only two trucks (possible a 3rd?) and one other full time driver plus a relief driver and the logistics company owner who also fills in, basically a four...

Landed a gig driving this medical equipment show vehicle, looks about like an expedite truck, but a fixed load, no freight, stay in hotels and pays per diem, not what I was thinking of doing, BUT as a new driver when something basically drops in your lap, take it. Not huge miles, maybe 40K a...

I agree with you 100%, probably was trying to text too! I call them Ricky Racers and I agree with your assessment as to the NASCAR contribution. TS

The Fumoto valves are quality products, I have had one on my Dodge Cummins for 13 years and not one bit of trouble! TS

Similar to the time I crossed into CA with a Suburban full of co workers, I said just the fruitcakes in the back. SHG

Let's hope that doesn't happen! Keep an extinguisher or two handy... Sounds like you already have a disconnect in place in case of a short... TS

Thanks RR, I have considered doing the same and I believe I mentioned that to one or two owners I talked to. TS

I am a long time member of the TDR and we have both stickers and nice grill emblems available to identify as a member, I think EO doing that would be a cool thing. TS

After months of studying EO and other trucking forums, I decided to pursue becoming an expediter as a career change. I obtained my CDL-B, HAZMAT, Tanker and Passenger endorsements and applied to FECC getting pre-qualified and more recently used the universal application here on EO to apply to...

Or overweight sweaty old people trying to get in shape :) I think we are totally derailed now. To get back on track, I am going to follow the "tail" story with interest and look forward to the long term updates, any dollar saved on fuel is a dollar in the pocket. TS

Did you consider other options such as those available from Smart Truck before going with the tail? I could see the under body portion maybe being an issue with a straight truck, but just wondering how the various solutions compare (at least for trailer use) on their initial cost, maintenance...
