    Bring that chassis down to Laredo for a couple days. Warmth and sunshine can do wonders for it.

    I'm still in Laredo. One of my straights delivered here yesterday and I had them loaded and headed back to Alabama today, but I'm still here.

    Inhanced Drivers License

    I live in southwest Ohio. Would such a license alow me unrestricted crossings into Kentucky?

    Nobody has yet, but sometimes someone will park in front of it and block the signal.

    At the J in Laredo, Sprinter with my logo on the side and the satellite dish on the ground in the parking space next to me.

    Pretty good load out of Bradenton right now, but probably too big for a van. Not heavy though.

    Some Preliminary Thoughts on Garmin Nuvi465t

    I just haven't had any problems like that. I usually check routing with my atlas anyway. I usually check the ETA with my protect time and figure how much leeway I have, then I figure in time for fuel stops and rest. It hasn't given me any issues so far. I have for the most part liked the...

    Cargo Vans Who Run For More Than One Carrier: An Editorial

    Like I said before, all the carriers that would be agreeable to this sort of arrangement are for the most part looking at the same freight. How does having more than one company looking at the same loads increase your chances of getting one of those loads? They're just bidding against one...

    Some Preliminary Thoughts on Garmin Nuvi465t

    I have this model and I just drive a Sprinter, but I like it so far. The time zone thing does get on my nerves at times, as well as it not having any leeway built into the ETA, but if you need that thing to tell you what time you're going to get there when you know the remaining miles, then you...

    I'm still alive!!

    Alive is certainly better than the alternative. Glad you're doing better.

    They finally wised up

    They might not post loads on there at all. Tri-State has been on the Alliance for years and doesn't post any of their loads on there. They could be using it to search truck availability if a partner isn't responding to a load offer or nobody is bidding on the ones listed on NLM.I'm hoping they...

    I got something out of Portland today, pretty easy run over to Boise. I only have a couple hours to go and 12 hours until the consignee opens, so I'm stopped for some beauty rest.

    I saw that load on the alliance board right before you posted that you were doing it, so I figured that's where your carrier got it from. CSX load?

    Cargo Vans Who Run For More Than One Carrier: An Editorial

    The larger companies can also run at a smaller margin per vehicle because of the larger number of vehicles. I'm not lowballing bids for my units because I'm trying to pay a driver a competitive rate and still make a certain profit on the load. If I had 50 or 60 trucks out there I could make a...

    Let me guess. 1 piece, 8 pounds, 345 paid miles?

    Re: Carrier Warts

    My carrier doesn't have any warts. Used to, but medical attention took care of that.
