    Landstar disappears

    What was said about Landstar is true. When I was there in 03 I was running mainly for two agents and didn't have time to do anything between trips but sleep. I kept up with EO and the forum but things were differant then than now.

    Retiring at 62

    The best to do is talk to your accountant. But yes you can do it.

    Van speed

    And you get 14mph. That's pretty good considering the gearing you have.

    "How can I kill this man?"

    Maybe I shouldn't even respond to this but if it were me I would find the name of an inmate serving life and put a contract on him. If that were me.

    Fuel Prices

    Someone had put a link to the oil field findings in N.Dakota and Montana. The link went to a Government web site about the field. I wonder if they coulf repost the site? Thanks.

    Panther Sitting at Truck Stops

    You will get that much with steady driving and my last install was $1,000 bucks flat. You will be amazed at the difference in everything. Glad to hear your doing well this early in the year. Talk later.

    Panther Sitting at Truck Stops

    I hear a sense of whine in your voice. LOL! All that sitting you could have made a couple of cheescakes and sent them "Fed Ex custom critical" overnight and you'd have a great run waiting for you. By the way have you changed the gearing in the back end to 373 yet? Really need to think about...

    Allison transmission

    I don't know what if any kind of shop you have or have not but the rear seal is very easy to change yourself just mark the drive line so you put it back the same way. Pull the yoke (it's keyed so it only goes back one way) pull the seal change it out. If you have more than 300K miles get the...

    What's really funny is, I had a pop up come across the screen that said Truck driving Academy. Oh yeh, thanks Lawrence for fixing the sign in.

    Panther Sitting at Truck Stops

    "Newtothis", You really need to get the Chef's recipe for the cheesecake and pass it on to your dispatcher, then you will be secure in knowing that your revenue will rise and your popularity will be greatly enhanced. Wow all that in one sentence. LOL!

    Led light problems

    Before you run to Volvo and spend a lot of money it could be one simple thing called grounding. Volvo looses about 75% of its main grounding after the first year due to cheap aluminum grounding cables. Before you do anything ground the cab to the frame then try it. Google grounding issues with...

    After 43 years on the road, I'm quitting!

    I came close to retiring and give this fine and beautiful lifestyle up, but couldn't do it. I don't have a wife to RV with and when I talk to my dog he looks at me with the same look my X did so I guess I'm here for the duration. Good luck and I have to say this "You'll be back". :cool:

    Hopefully you won't. What I was refering to is the people who haven't a clue what the business end is.

    Michelin tires

    I have also used both on Chevy C/Vans. They both wore the same. Great tires and yes pricey but you get what you pay for. I also tried Tire rack but found out by the time you mount, balance and so forth you don't save enough for your time and aggravation, but that's just me. I like a warranty...

    hiring on with C&M ....

    My two cents worth from one who hires. Your fleet operator probably doesn't pay because there are a lot of (so called) drivers who after a week will realize this thing called Expedite is not for them. Of course now a days most people think trucking is a very lucrative deal, only to find out...

    Tailgate cooking?

    BBQ is a passion of mine. I enter at least 1 competition a month and have done it for years. I plan to build another only larger with a few other things added. I can cook 600 pds of pork at once or 250 chicken halves. Glad you like it.
