Dashboard instruments that can't be seen from the passenger seat would solve so many problems.

Words of wisdom there.

When I was on the road for the summer, I had a notion regarding log books and I asked a few people, including some cops, and got varying answers. This is what I did. I took a standard loose leaf log book page and scanned it in as a pdf. I then opened it on a pdf annotator app on my ipad and...

I would say that the majority of carriers aren't booking the majority of their freight from a specific geographic location, with the exception of some of the big boys, so the whole idea of a backhaul is something concocted by brokers to try to find that one guy who either lives or works out of...

But what he's talking about is the very common practice of people on Sylectus getting loads from a broker or 3pl and then brokering them back out again.

They didn't force you to deadhead anywhere if you owned the van. If you need to get home and there isn't freight going there, deadheading is still your decision and not something you're forced to do by your carrier. I'm still looking for that magic freight wand some people think carriers have.

I have yet to see a lot lizard that could hold a candle to my wife, and she doesn't even read this forum, so I don't have any "motivation" to post that.

Actually, DO send photos of the lot lizards. Then she'll know you're not cheating.

The shippers are still paying good money to move stuff. The problem is the abundance of vans and the extremely competitive bidding that goes on in some areas where there are too many of them or where people don't like to be. Sometimes you can be in New England and there might only be two or...

That's a team out of Missouri. They're in PA now. I'm back home.

I'm not going to get into the companies, because I might be biased on that end, but as to the vehicle, if I was starting out right now, I wouldn't get anything smaller than a dock high straight. My wife and I ran for the summer in an 18' truck and hardly ever sat. Now I have another team in...

My wife ran with me all summer and now she's back home running her business. I dropped her off at the house and picked up a friend of mine who has a CDL and valid medical card to run with me. We got a load and I started out with him in the bunk. If I had been pulled in and cited for bad...

I have that engine in a 2002 International 4400 that I've had out since May. It has a lot of miles on it, but we did an inframe back in June and it's been going pretty good since then. If we can get another year or two out of it I'll be pretty happy.

As a Bengals fan, I have a soft spot for any long suffering team. This is a good thing.

My wife. At least that's who ends up with the money.

Well, I have a Sprinter and an air ride straight and I've hauled freight in both, and I would agree with those who say that the Sprinter has at least as smooth or smoother a ride than the air ride truck.

I guess that would be air ride...even after it's installed.

Hope you don't mind me fixing that.

I was wondering who outbid me. I didn't think $40 would be too high.
