Moot, to clarify..that was the price paid to the carrier, correct? What % of that price went to the o/o ? oops...beat me to it :)

Lol...good one! I think his space shuttle must have had "just enough" gas in it :D

They just ask if my name is Dennis. I say no and they walk away...really confused...lol

Actually, the guys sitting around the parking lots asleep, with their windows down are probably not under load. I guess they could be if on a long run with time to stop...but most are empty waiting for a load.

I usually just slow down...slower...and slower...until they either back off or pass. In the straight truck on more than one occassion, I had 4 wheelers that would tuck up behind the truck so close I couldnt even see their headlights. Slowing down would usually let them know I was onto them and...

Sorry for your loss Jenny.

1. Doesn't mean that they are a making even one penny in profit. Being able to turn a profit out of it is what seperates the men from the boys. Anything less is just another wannabe putting on a show. 2. I seriously doubt that the company you are referring to started up 2 years ago with...

The OP states that he and his brother combined are grossing $180k per year. I would like to hear how many of these startup expedite carriers can claim half that in net earnings for a year?.... Anybody? For sake of discussion, I'll take anybody up to 5 years after startup and up to 20...

yeah..we know...that's the problem

This part of your original post is what through up the flags. You have plenty of capitol to "get started" in the business. You have no where near enough capitol to jump in at the level you describe in the statement quoted above. Most members of this forum, including myself, would be happy to...

A simple reminder might work..especially if it were enough of a nuisance. If done through the qcom, it would rely on the volume being turned up. Could an automated reminder be sent by cell phone?

SCOTT !! thats 31 words dude! Git'r done! :D

Hey now! Don't be so hard on the young man! I'm all ears! :)

Pretty much says it all. When your stuff is frying other people's stuff...it ain't cool...it's asinine. There is no excuse for stupidity and thats my opinion of the big radios.

Ditto....although, I didnt change my speed so much. I did make a habit of driving 65mph...hardly ever 70. I learned how to cancel the cruise control in the mountains and drive for fuel economy. Pittsburgh Power has some videos on their website that can help with this stuff. Most trucks have a 1...

My straight truck was a 2001 Freightliner Columbia with series 60 12.7 litre Detroit. When I bought the truck it averaged in the 9.25-9.5 mpg range. Over time, I was able to get it up to a consistent 10.25-10.5 mpg.

One significant difference in being on the road a few weeks in the van vs the straight truck...Im not stopping every few miles to check for flat tires when I drive the Tahoe :D

Lol...gotta love filters!

Chris, I had problems with them being able to fit my CargoMax in their doors and on their lift system. I think a lot of guys are using DRS if you can wait til you get to the yard.

Not what I meant..:rolleyes: Im gonna put it in the wind after a nap...some breakfast first though.
