My dad was telling me recently that the main brokers he works with are getting 9% of the tariff. There's also a lot of things that come things that come into play with an oversize load besides just cost per mile of the truck. Do you have to have a pilot car? Do you have to pay it? If you do you...

Sounds like us here in Southeast Arkansas after Gustav. All of our trucks were in LA so some trucks and crews came in from North Carolina to get the power back on. Some friends of mine that live in dorms on campus were out of power for 4 days. They were coming over to the house to take hot...

He was referring to me. IRT I'm not an ex Marine. There is no such thing. Once a Marine always a Marine. If you would like you could come to my funeral, whenever they have it, and then you can all me a former Marine. By the way, Why would I give you a hard time for taking this load? When I...

Sounds like he would fit in nicely with the bunch we have here in America.

IceRoad Trucker I mean Subzero I thought you wanted McCain back in? The way you can run around aboard ship in your dungarees again.

When are these hippy liberals going to realize a bullet between the eyes is less painful than laying on the road forever waiting on a vet to come with a shot that with kill them in a matter of minutes!?! The bullet goes bang and the horse/cow/deer/dog/illegal immigrant goes to sleepy town...

That's why I called the police first and Panther second. I'm not complaining about Panther. I dealt with some real good dispatchers at times there. Once I was caught in a bad storm, called them and told them the deal, and they got the delivery pushed back. It was one of those deals where the...

When I pulled a reefer I went to grocery warehouses all the time. The last company I drove for had vans,flats,and reefers and since I had experience with all three I would pull a different trailer different weeks depending on what was going out. Anyway. The weeks I pulled the reefers I could...

That's how I feel about my Arkansas Razorbacks. It going to be pretty this year. We beat Western Ill by 4 points like I said before and we barely got past University of Louisiana-Monroe. Who are they? Our game against Texas was postponed until the 27th. We play Alabama on Saturday and I have a...

What's the blue wire for turtle?

I hate to hear of this type of thing happening to anyone. I had a shipper blame me for hitting their building with my trailer when I watched on of their trucks do it and a group of management gathered around. They told me to back in that hole and I didn't think much of it. Once I got in it they...

How did we get from flooring in vans to motocross? Just wondering.

You can be doing good as soon as you realize how great things are going they go they other way. Then sometimes then are stinking and all the sudden you are on top of the world. I remember a time I was having such by luck the fleet owner I was running for told me to dh to Fort Smith from Atlanta...

Now I feel bad for saying it was IceRoad because I really thought it was him.

I'm just doing a little mental detective work. The person picked a second name of Subzero, which would make one think of the cold, then we have the fact that this person brings up their birthday. Couple that with bad spelling and grammar. I'm guessing IceRoadTrucker. Today is the 17th and he has...

I'm not real smart, but I would think if the wind was strong enough to blow away the car it would pull the tree up by the roots. That's just me thinking though.

If tarrifs are imposed on forgein vehicles made in the States then that will only cost our country more jobs. The forgein car makers will the country and the domestic manufacters aren't going to come back until taxes go down. Even with the tarrif it would still most likely be more profitable for...

That truck has to be a mid 80s model. With that being said if that bought it new they most likely had it chromed out and paid for before fuel got to be so ridiculous. If they have a decent fsc plus no payment I bet there are making it ok.

I would think it would be better like Greg said. Even more so if you figure in an air ride drive axle. The air ride steer axles make the comfortable to, but I don't like the way it makes the cab lean in curves. Maybe it's just me. I just don't like that feeling like the truck is about to lay...

Beemer, No offense but I think you have to much time on your hands. Get a hobby. I hear remote control air planes are a lot of fun.
