    when a cell phone is not enough

    Just this past week three Felons drove a stollen car into the front of a gun shop in N.Augusta, SC. It happened at 4 Am. They started breaking cases and stealing the guns when the owner who lives in the back with his wife appeared with a AR=15 and a 30 round clip. One yelled kill the %&*@#...

    Broke down during a loaded run?

    I bet they were smiling as well. I don't want to ad any more than that, I know he's feeling pretty down right now. We were talking just a couple days ago about someone wanting to buy a 4,000 dollar van and having 1k left over and running on advances. Thats a good example and a good learning...

    America’s Energy Seen Adding 3.6 Million Jobs Along With 3% GDP

    One thing you will see if Romni gets into office is the cutting of the EPA budget like Bush did. Bush cut it by 50% sparking industrial building projects. This time not only a budget cut but combining the EPA with another agency. Like you say get the EPA under control and that helps...

    Gas tank issue: chevy express 3500, cant refuel.

    Mine does that. Don't know why. I pull the nozzle out to where it is barely in the reducer. I'm sure it has something to do with venting. I also put the gas in slow. After mine clicks off I can still put $5 more in it.

    No experience or unit. How do I get started?

    I agree somewhat with Courier about having a burning desire to go it alone. What I don't agree with is $1K is nothing. Tags, Insurance, Expenses, it won't cover it. You get in the habit of running and living off of advances, you will fail. Once your behind the proverbial 8 ball it's mighty...

    Well I'll ad a comment or two. I don't know anything about that company. People have been throwing a lot of mud at C/Vans operators and some trying to say they are causing lower rates. Haven't figured that one out yet. Actually I think there are about 7 or 8 top carriers that are good to...

    Westmicher's New XLT 10 Project Begins!

    Get my two cents worth in. Great job welding and extending the frame. I know the comments will come about GVW, logging all the junk but I think it would really cool with a drop axle behind the live axle. Just throwing ideas around. Can't wait to see the final results.

    Obama or Romney supporter?

    What can you say to people who are completely brain washed by the "O" factor. Can anybody tell me what he has done for this country in a positive way? The lies will catch up with him and his staff and in a big way, hopefully the day of judgement in Nov 2'd.

    Anyone Using These??

    I haven't used those but a month ago I purchased the Trico long life blades and they are junk. $45 bucks. They skip across the windshield if there isn't enough water. Rubber on the blades are to hard.

    If you layover in Boston

    Wow, If I ever get a $10 dollar a mile load to Boston I will check that out. LOL! That is a cool place. I just don't like that area.

    No experience or unit. How do I get started?

    I have to agree with Layoutshooter, 26 and your life flashing before your eyes. I love hearing young people say stuff like that. Gives a 65 year old a good daily chuckle. Better be careful after your in Expediting for say half a dozen years your life has flashed before your eyes. Start out...

    The search for a humane way to kill

    It's not so much how you put someone down it's the time leading up to the ultimate punishment. They move the prisoner into the death house less than a day before. Lets do it a few times and maybe put them in the chair or gourney whichever and strap them in then say oh April fools, it's not...

    The daily budget

    That's good at least for a month worth of gas. Looks to be a big savings for at least a month. C/Vans go for it.

    The daily budget

    If you have to have them, buy them somewhere besides the truckstop. On sale Wally World or others, maybe use coupons. When I'm on the road I usually eat at a cafeteria in food stores. Good and Cheaper. I'm still checking on this but the Wal Marts with gas stations (more and more...

    Freight rates and fuel prices!

    That is true but remember that C/Vans are like cheap freight, they will always be there but the better paying freight will probably go on a somewhat larger capacity truck. Just my thinking.

    Box for straight truck

    Right now you can get a good deal from most box manufacturer's. The larger the better. What I would do is get the box and a new lift gate with an extended bed and finance it as a package. It will make more work available to you and a lot less headaches.
