    Southern States

    You might try All States, they have a solid position in the south east. Or maybe you could go with Landstar, as they work with agents and may have a steady run in the south. Good luck and keep us posted how it works out for you.

    allisonauto vs eatonautoshift

    Why not spec the no clutch pedal by Merritor best of both worlds? A real transmission and automated technology where the pedal use to be. Everyone I know that has it say it's the best of both worlds. With a Allison you have high maintenance costs. The trans has to be service at low mileage...

    B, C, D or E Unit

    OK, here's my stupid reason for going from a "D" unit to a Reefer "C" unit. I wanted a super large sleeper and going to the C unit was the only way I could have a sleeper that measured 186 inches. Going reefer increaded my revenue per mile and to tell you the truth we enjoyed the smaller loads...

    As long as I'm at it a ? about airconditioning

    It's funny you asked about that style of A/C unit as a freind the other day asked me about your same setup. We both agreed it would work, and venting it out a wing window would work just fine. Best of luck and please keep us posted how it works out?

    Trade in Value

    Unfortunately your situation is not uncommon! Premium trucks should bring more money, period! Your options are very desireable. Maybe you should try some other dealers to get a better idea of a more realistic value? You did not mention your sleeper manufacturer? The companys like ICT, Bentz, and...

    Why you should always check bridge height...

    One more thing,don't asume the height of your truck. Get a freind to help you measure to the highest point. And allways side on the side of caution. Drive slowly up to questionably bridge and get out and look. Traffic behind you will understand. They would rather be slowed down by you than...

    Home plates

    Oklahoma not what it use to be. You do need to register in your home state or the state your company is based in, such as Illinois in the case of Landstar.. Hope this clears up any confusion. It just so happens we have a freind who was titled in Ok. and had some difficulties,so your better off...

    Remote Qualcom

    Rule of thumb with this type of pager, stay in view of truck and the pager will probably work. If you go behind buildings or more than a 1/4 mile away, it will not be worth your time. Why not just rely on cell phone? Just a thought.

    Fed Ex Contractor lawsuit

    This in no way will effect FedEx Custom Critical. We have always had the option of refusal. We never where under direct order to pick up and deliver at a specified location...ie..UPS..DHL..Etc.

    Sprinter Van Project From EO!

    It looks like such a great setup...just need to work out the kinks. This should have been the answer for the expeditor needs. I hope someone puts a super "B" unit together soon. What a shame to have all that capacity and not utilize it to it's fullest potential!

    All hazardous materials must be logged and any commercial carrier for hire has to be logged. This is according to Georgia DOT, different states different rules. Probably, I always thought if you where under 26,000lbs. you where good to go. Anybody else want to chime in on this. I would always...

    An Idea To Benefit Drivers AND Fleet Owners

    Interesting idea, maybe a new area for Expeditors Online to address? You would think matching good drivers and good equipment owners would be easier than it is?

    Opportunities in Pacific NW

    My experience in the northwest has always been positive with FedEx Custom Critical. A "D" unit reefer is a money maker no matter where you go. The down side is you will be turning down great paying loads back to the east or midwest. I know that carriers have tried to run a I-5 Corridor unit and...
