That reminds me... I'm buying an older class 8 straight truck. The guy says it has springs under the box (or something to that effect). This is to allow the frame to twist, but not the box's floor. Has anyone heard of this?

It's not against the law for a van to drive that much, just irresponsible. No reason to drive more than 14 hours or so in a van. I've heard several examples of tractors going non-stop cross-country, and it's crazy! I don't see much point in being the richest man in the graveyard.

I noticed that at a Pilot in Monroe. .05 more for credit! I got enough to get us to the Hook in Youngstown. TJ... what you said about waiting til you get to Ohio. They don't put all of their fuel taxes on at the pump... so you're paying a high price, plus getting spanked when you get your...

Go figure... it was a government operation!!! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Broom... I don't see anything greedy about it. The business will be there for us, and you want some of it. Nothing wrong with that. :D

A D-unit with Panther has no probs getting out of GA, especially Atlanta. SC isn't bad either. Prof, you asked what you did wrong... Chattanooga! It's not the best place to sit for D-units, and my guess is for vans also. Knoxville, Nashville, or Atlanta would produce more fruit. If you're...

Absolutely... miles are just the biggest part of it, tho. If someone drove single for me, they'd get half of everything that mileage didn't cover; except for fingerprinting loads, which they'd get 100%.

Just for your concideration: Con-way pays $1.07 (I hope I'm right on this), and several others are in the $1.15-$1.30 area.

RE: New Guy with Class 8 Straight truck Please HEL I saw that, thanx. 26'er is close to ideal. Price is on the high side tho.

very simple... truck is business. You want help moving? Fine. Rent a truck and tell me when you're loading it. I've helped a couple of times, but when someone EXPECTS my truck to be used for favors, that usually means money out of my pocket... so they can just ask to borrow money :)

Maybe cause you didn't sign the email, so I didn't know who it was from :7 I'll send you one.

Co-driver pay is usually 20% of the gross to the truck. This is before any expenses. I believe you'd be stepping into dangerous territory if you used what you actually cleared. With using a percentage of the gross, your co-driver would always know up front how much he's making from a load.

I see this is going to become a political pissing match. I, for one, would vote for Nugent if it gets Granholm out of there. Engler left her one big mess, but she's doing nothing but making it a bigger mess. I worked for MDOT for the summer a couple years ago. When she got in, most of what was...
