Bigger is better, and about 8 foot of sleeper, now your talking! I heard of a driver a few years back trying to convert a Greyhound bus into a "C" unit. So you're only limited to your imagination and of course your wallet! Have fun and keep thinking up creative ideas.

What year is the truck and what goodies does the sleeper have? Refrigerator, sink, toilet, bunk beds, TV, stereo? You see what I'm trying to get at here? Most teams like a 84 or 96 inch condo style.

I transported years ago a freezer full of vials from patients with AIDS, each vial represented a human being. It was a very difficult load emotionally. All the patients had died. The next shipment was a body that was a research project for the Einstein Institute in NYC. My labor was 3 guys from...

That would make an awesome "Super D" unit. You could go to a 20 foot sleeper and a 27 foot reefer pup with liftgate and have a really slick piece. Down side would be getting into some tight spots just like a big rig. Also the jack knife factor would be something to consider. Maybe a set of...

Well that certainly is odd reading? It's good to know who to call in Iraq for expediting.

I ran super singles on a Peterbilt 377 back in 1987 and I loved them. The down side is a flat tire, and replacement tire when and were you need it. Luckily there are'nt that many tire sizes. Weight savings will be about 150lbs. for 4 tires with aluminum wheels. The other thing that was unique is...

Great posting! Our decision to give or not to give is based on our gut feeling for for what we see and feel at the moment. There are people who truly need all the help they can get. Unfortunately we would never see these people as there mental condition would'nt allow them to create this type of...

I think I see a light bulb over your head? It sounds like you really get what this is all about. I also believe when you make it in expediting you will also be the type of individual that would stop and answer another newbies questions and concerns. You should be proud of yourself for...

Sounds like the angels were riding with you. It's difficult to tell dispatch you can't drive any further, but thats exactly what you have to do. No load is worth your life. Drive safe and be profitable.

I assume you are refering to trip leasing? In any event you need the permission of your lease carrier and the company you are tripping with must be approved by your carrier. The other problem might be cargo liability as neither your existing carrier nor the one you are tripping with will be...

Several of the truck manufacturers have come up with the extended cab version of there standard cab configuration. Thes include Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner and my favorite Volvo. That extra 6 inches or so make all the difference in the world. Good luck and as I've said before, drive that...

Thats interesting, has anyone attended this? I believe EO offers the tools for success at the Expeditors Expo? Maybe I'm wrong but it's free and the real deal!

I know of several trucks that are outfitteed with Air Tabs and they work. Not a huge gain, 1/4 to 1/2 mpg and keeps the back of the truck cleaner. Go figure, a product that actually works, amazing!

RE: Straight Truck or Tractor/ Con-Way NOW or Lan Just curious, why would you want to go with Lanstar as a single Tractor/trailer? Why not just lease on with Landstar and go trucking? As a single you'll be a lot happier. I believe you should do a bit more research on expediting. This may not...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric First off tone the language down! Your post will probably be pulled for that. Second, I have not heard anything about your company that sounds like what you have experienced. Could it be you need to talk to your contractor coordinator and get...

Bentz Transport Products 1-800-664-BUNK, ask for sales. They should be very helpful. They are located in Ft. Wayne In.

You can't get a job without experience, and of course you can't get experience without a job. Pass that DOT physical and go to driving school get your CDL and come on out and try the water.

No restrictions, have fun!

I've also have heard good things about air tabs. Nothing outrageous, just a modest increase. 1/4 to 1/5 mpg. Good luck.

If your not paying fuel tax at your company I would certainly buy the most cost effective fuel with good quality you can. In winter time especially you don't want to save a penny to find yourself froze up on the side of the road. Sometimes you do get what you pay for. I have in the past bought...
