True... they do eerily sound like union goons. However, that's how organizations keep their head above water. The problem I see with crazy's post is that they seem to be getting away from the personal aspect of the organization. Whereas, if it doesn't look like it's going to make money, screw...

Does Howe's normal fuel treatment prevent gelling?

My opinion, stay with D status. If you switch to C, you may not see the 10,000 lb loads. Because dispatching is such a high paced, high stress area, dispatchers tend to see the "C" on their screen, and not notice the ability to carry something heavier. That's alot of the reason a dual axle...

I almost went that route. I don't like 53'ers, but would feel more comfortable running a pup. Another route is getting a cabover and putting a long box on it. The setup I have now uses a 28' box, but I'd have no prob putting a 30' on it. I drove an argosy COE with a 30' box, and it was...

The thing that really kills you is if you don't get that second load because the company is keeping track of you on qualcomm. Whole day wasted on a mini... doesn't make sense.

Apparently, someone with the initials TR is out to trash me due to what I said in this thread. And here I thought I was only pointing out the obvious. Kinda funny... his main personal attack on me, this time, is that I'm running a 25 year old jalopy Freightliner. As usual, his facts are screwed...

I apologize if I came across a bit crass. Alot of ppl come here looking for advice, then ignore the ones who know the industry. Recruiters are alot like used car salesmen, and I take their pitch with a grain of salt without proof. But the real proof is with those who are on the road. If you're...

Apparently you didn't do your homework. You would've seen many threads on the topic of van freight being slow. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you, but it something that could've been avoided. :(

Apparently they didn't have a problem with ABlair's company addy being posted, just Tom Robertson's forum site. So the inquiry was answered. I don't know what the big deal is.

I don't have alot of experience in the lease department. We've leased a car, and wish we didn't take the option to buy afterwards, cause the car started screwing up almost immediately after we bought it. As far as buying something as big as a truck, I can't see any reason to put so much money...

You and I both understand that. But would you recommend to a newbie to go solo with Panther? I have a bit of experience, and I had a terrible February last year running solo. Most solos I've talked to say Panther is a team company. Now, I would run with them solo ONLY because they allow me to...

Dave... would you put a solo truck on with Panther, though?

I don't recommend Panther as being the best place for a solo driver. Broom... I was the driver who deadheaded to Memphis from Laredo. How long do you think I should've sat? I dropped in Laredo on Sunday, and waited there til Thursday. I got that load on the following Wednesday after I got my...

Why let your competitors get free advertisement on your site? Um... lest I'm stupid, the first amendment guarantees free speech from government interference. Nothing gives you free speech in a private forum. If that were the case, Target and Kmart could distribute flyers on Walmart property...

Sorry Broom... gotta disagree with you there. In your situation, I guess sitting is the best option. I sat 4 days and came up empty... even on LTLs. I had to dh to OK before I got a run, and that picked up 300 mi away in Memphis. My advice in going to Laredo: Try to set something up before you...

Rich... he's asking what a driver would make driving a c-unit, not what a c makes.

Crazynuff... It's easy to look from the outside and surmise what others should do, according to what seems logical. Wallah! That's how Washington got this stupid HOS rule. If you haven't run team, and don't plan on it, how can you assume the things you say? For most of us, 4 to 5 hours is all...

I just posted about layover in Laredo. I stayed in a hotel, as I have no a/c. But I later decided to move up to San Antonio, as it's surrounded by Dallas, Houston, and Laredo.

RE: 2 Questions: Streets and Trips and Wirless Int Any gps reciever should work with it. Check out the sapphire gps reciever. It's the size of a quarter, and doesn't stand out on the dash. It runs around $100 after shipping on ebay.

Speaking of T.O., some idiots are speculating on him going to Seattle. HAHAHA I don't think so! How would you like Howard Stern and Jerry Springer to design your truck? Would it be a T-300 with pasties on its grill?
