RE: can a moderator tell me why my post was sudden I hardly ever yank a subject. But on occasion it is necessary to pull, as it is not healthy to drag the group down. This was not one I pulled. I felt it had been discussed and resolved. As far as your concern of leaving someone in a bad light...

Class "A" is tractor trailer, "B" is Straight Truck any number of axles. What are you comfortable doing? I came out of 25 years of T/T running and was burned out! I personally loved the straight truck, many more opportunities for site-seeing adventure..and it was FUN!! Great people, good food...

Any office store computer store can fix you up with a system. My preference was a Magellan system with dash display. Pretty cool and not to $$. Good luck

Wow, nice revenue! Congrats to you and your partner. Remember it ain't great every week, but it is always great! Freedom is a wonderful aspect of what we do. You showed that by going home and having a life when it is in your interest, and not what the company tells you to do, 24/7.

Unfortunately straight trucks do log all miles and time. I'm not sure why you would need to log your deadhead. After delivery, the vehicle turns into just "Your personal vehicle". I wouldn't bother with dispatch, I would contact the log or safety department. Hope this helps. I've had friends do...

RE: Transfering, Protecting, and Recovering Your C Great posting guys! After our accident, the biggest hurdle we had was lost data..it was a nightmare. This is great info and simple enough for someone that is a klutz with a computer like me. Thanks again for bringing this to everyones...

You are correct about shortage of equipment....at least the good stuff! Your mileage is a bit off, unless you have been idling a lot? There are plenty of guys and gals getting 9 mpg consistantly depending on terrain, speed, load, and of course ideling! The death of all diesel engines. Maybe time...

Hate to say it but wiring harness problems still exist and are often mis-diagnosed. Not the answer you wanted just my observation. I don't think there is going to be a dealer or Truck Repair shop that will be not targeted by someone. The idea has merit, just not going to happen. Again just my...

RE: Been reading this forum and want to say 'thank Howdy, you are going about this business the correct way! Learn the "Ropes" on a fleet owners dime is a great way to see how this segment of trucking will "fit" you. Be patient and the freight will come to you. We all wish you the best and...

I've seen it done in a truck similar to a Reliable Car Hauler rig. Very large sleeper and air-ride to boot. The problem I was told was in the voltage surge. You need a sion inverter which is pretty pricey. Do you have a generator? What about internet connection. With a laptop it is a built in...

Great post, thanks for the info. Better buy those unusual parts now and keep them for the day they fail. You cannot be over prepared for that rainey day? You ever notice how nothing ever fails when the weather is good and you have time and parts to make the repair yourself? Nobody wants to see a...

Your comments are well taken. I would not discourage your comments. It's sorta like the show Jeopardy. The answer is? Well you kinda leave us hanging here. I assume your working with the Landstar system or a similar where you go and hunt your freight and make your decisions. It's a good system...

Point well taken...Thanks Tom

Do contact them and dispute anything that is fraudulant. You are fighting for your livelyhood. Whom ever ran your DAC can supply you with a copy.

Great comments group! 30 plus years ago when I started out in a big truck it was common to see a half dozen trucks on both sides of the roadway helping a broke down fellow trucker. We all had time back then and weren't afraid to stop and lend a hand. Unfortunately the world is a different place...

RE: Expediter Rated Truck Service for Freightliner Good listing Lawrence. Thanks for the update. I need to review all your good work!

RE: Expediter Rated Truck Service for Freightliner Maybe you drank one to many "Red Bull" energy drinks? No actually sounds pretty cool. I'm afraid we might end up with more negative scores than positive. I don't like stepping on toes, but I do think an independent shop that goes that extra...

RE: Attn: Recruiters,Drivers,and Owners - Need Adv You won't know until you try. Start calling them all and ask for safety first, so as not to waste recruiters time. Just a thought. I worked in a safety dept years ago, and 5 clean years was the rule then. Unfortunately with no recent experience...

How about posting your barter trade in the for sale section?

Kidron makes a very good body. I have had several of there units. I would recommend swing doors and not roll up door as the thermal loss is to great. That is my opinion.
