    Koolest truckstops..

    Derailed Diner at the Oasis TS in Robertsdale, AL off I-10 is a neat place to stop. The food is pretty darn good, as well. The kitchen is thru the doors of the bus...

    I was tempted to post Adam Sandler's song, Piece of Shat Car; but it has a few f-bombs in it. But dayam, it's funny. :D

    Hours of Service

    Nope. You can run indefinitely, as long as you stay under a certain hours per day.

    Leaving the expediting business

    That's all anyone can ask for. There are many who like to drive a truck, but cannot handle the chaotic nature of expediting. Good luck to you.

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    Roadhouse, you're absolutely right. Most out here, have no interest in having anything more than an employee mentality. Selling yourself is the difference between the customer paying an extra .50 for your truck; or better yet, call YOU up when you get in their area. Complacency sucks. This...

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    I guess it depends on your definition of 'less' and 'more'. Maybe the definition of 'is'. Who knows? No wonder rates are worse than they were 20 years ago.

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    I don't doubt your rates are good at Murray's. You came across as just because you profit 4x your cost, doesn't mean that's a good market rate.

    Fuel surcharge cargo vans

    IOW, you settle for less, because you have less overhead, instead of taking advantage of the situation, as well as contributing to keeping the rates healthy. IOW, you're part of the problem. Roadhouse asked when we will stop letting carriers take advantage of us? As soon as we, as an industry...

    401 is notorious for their whiteouts between London and Toronto. 402, pretty much the whole thing is bad for them.

    Need advice on charging to hand unload my truck

    One load my nephew and I got was store paneling, which filled our truck, and was very heavy. It went to Houston during the summer. We were told there would be someone there to unload us... there wasn't. It took us all day, and every bit of strength we had. I believe we got 450 bucks for the hand...
