Be careful, you'll get a leg full of splinters crawling around on the freight inside those things :)

What race?

I dont know anyone who uses it. The concept is nice, but you will lose 2-3" of load height. One flag that stands out for me is that I dont see any securement points built into to it. Im sure the system attaches to the floor of the van securely, but what secures the freight?

Empty in Minneapolis So ovm...the button that locks all the doors wont unlock 'em? Business has been good boss! :) Even with a couple dead days in the Carolinas and a day of dumbness in the Det. area, Ive still got a good week in. I know its a long shot, but if dispatch were to get me out of...

After yesterday...it would have to be dumb luck. I proved that I dont have enough sense to say NO...lol

Much better load today....I'll be in Minneapolis tomorrow. Nice rate too. Thanks Caryn :)

I gotta give it to ya Phil...you have developed a sense of humor since moving to Landstar. You should do a "today, I learned" blog on that :D

Ah...go ahead. Just got through chattin with Xiggi at the yard. We were able to make fun of each other's dumbness! Lol.... its good to laugh it off a bit and hope for better brain function tomorrow...lol. Hope everybody has a great weekend.

Im oos til the am. Hopefully I can make better decisions tomorrow....lol.

Well...I topped it off perfectly... took another shorty...lol. It turned out exactly like the first one...dry run...then go back and get it anyway...lol. Ive done mine for the foreseeable future. There is nothing to be gained for me running $100 loads that wind up taking 3 or 4 hours. I...

It was obviously my fault. They offered and I accepted without asking any questions. Im just way to quick to trust that dispatch will charge the customer a rate that I think is fair for a short load. Its not like L1 profited anything from it either...maybe 30 bucks. I'll leave it at that...

I have you all beat! 55 deadhead for 96 loaded!!!! Pays $118 !!! Now that is Dollas!! :D I really wish I could think a little more clearly when I get woke up with a load offer...lol. To top it off, 1/2 mile from the shipper and it dry ran....then 10 miles away, turned me back to go get it...

Im at the shipper waiting to get loaded. I had the front tires replaced on the van today. The OEMs lasted for 24,000 miles. They had plenty of tread on them, but the driver side tire was getting bad fast. I could feel all kinds of cupping in it when I would run my hand around it. It started and...

I called dispatch and told 'em you would run for .65/mile if needed...you should be loaded anytime now :D

Im not sure where Pike County is, but I had an "experience" in south, central KY a while back that was none too pretty...lol. Once things settled a bit, the guy told me that both his parents had been murdered recently. It was a night to remember, for sure.

Dispatch needs to get busy and boot em all out of there...Im headed that way :) Thanks Brandon! Good load, good rate....just the way I like 'em :)

Btw...just wondering.... that little bit of a bend you fabricated into the bumper step...what was that for? :D

Well, I think the documentary will be great and I hope to see it. But...don't you think it's a good thing that they wouldnt fit into todays society? I mean as good of a movie as it will make, it is an example of the extremes people are capable of.

Good job Chef! Ive seen a few of the swing outs since Ive been on the road. They look pretty handy to me. One guy that I talked to about mine told me that you can buy a fuel filler neck for the chevy vans that has a pickup tube built into it for a generator. He said to check the RV suppliers...

y Umm...you might wanna clarify that last part a bit....some folks might not know where your going :D Enjoy the ride...thats gotta be an awesome trip!
