    I’d get the proper tires before I did my next load. Or it could be your LAST load.

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    Will ? Won’t? Probably won’t. The need isn’t there. Only us that competed with them see the need. The smartest thing for a straight to do is get a reefer, a gate, or certifications so you don’t have to even consider the cheap freight. Let them knock themselves out.

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    Can a van do as much damage as a TT ? Sure. If a van fell asleep and took out my wife and kids would I say “Thank God they didn’t get hit by a TT “? I’ve always thought any vehicle, any size, hauling freight for hire should be regulated. It’d sure thin the herd.

    I heard a comedian lobbying to change the name porta-John’s to porta-Jim’s. He thought people would feel better about him if he could spout off “I spent two hours in the Jim this morning” or “I’m going to the Jim right after dinner .”

    Hello from Las Vegas

    Some people say it’s not real Trucking. It is. Not as hard as we had it back in the 60’s with 2 stick transmissions, no power steering, before reliable ac. As you navigate through NYC, or across a frozen interstate if only to find an almost safe place to ride out the storm, you’ll feel like a...

    Hello from Las Vegas

    Rags, some of the best straight teams couldn’t make it in TT. So, they’ll tell you they didn’t like it. Which is okay. These people are just avoiding that embarrassing first step. Seems like a smart move to me.

    Hello from Las Vegas

    I think you’re right on track. Unless you NEED steady income. And as hot as freight is right now for straights, even a rookie team will probably do pretty good if you’re with a decent carrier.

    That’s consistent from what I’m hearing from a friend doing T-Val at Landstar.

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    I’m retired like Phil. What my active friends are telling me is rates are up and time between runs are decreasing to non existent. Reefers are at a premium . So are teams. Parking is harder to find, earlier in the day, than in the past. A friend at Landstar said they want every AA& E team...

    2015 Ford Transit Maintenance Costs

    Nice. I wish you continued good luck. We all know those will probably be your lowest cost miles. Westy probably has very accurate Promaster numbers if he’ll share them. His may be lower than normal because he has good pricing through his normal dealer and I image some stuff he does “in-house.”
