    Loaded early this morning (well 9am...early for me :) ). Will be a few miles from the yard just after noon. I'll probably hang out there for a while before heading to the yard.

    VERY well said. I have mentioned many times to tractor trailer drivers that the sitting between loads tends to be more than they can stand after being used to running every day. I dont remember warning newbies of the same....but it applies to all of us. Some can make it work, some can't. It...

    Shower Door Operation w/pictures!

    Ive only used the shower a couple times so far but it was clean both times..before and after. I did notice the door though. I was surprised that there wasnt a door stop on the inside to prevent it from opening the wrong direction. The shower is way too nice to take a chance on the door being...

    info please

    It shouldnt be. One third would be a better estimate. I always considered total cost of operation to be around 50% of the revenue. As for hometime. I always use 3 weeks out and 1 week at home for a target. Has always worked out fine for me. Your 8.weeks vs 10.days seems plenty to me. Its your...

Called dispatch, talked to Dave and he asked Joe....said stay in Cleveland.... so Im at the Pilot in Avon with a quite a few vans from various carriers. There are at least...

    The short loads are good. If I could stay just a little bit busier with them, I would be content with just that. Like everybody else, I suppose. Fyi... ive been 1 of 1 in Cleveland since noon (i went oos to get the van serviced)...not a word since noon. 136 from the yard, so I may head that way...

    info please

    Those numbers are realistic, depending on the carrier. I would use $8k just to be safe. I would use $1.30/mile for all miles (loaded, empty, personal....everything) as a revenue number. 9mpg would be a good number to use for fuel. The bike can and has been done. It will be up to the carrier...

    Suggestion Box Thread

    I like this the best. As long as it is done in such a way to prevent a missed pickup time. Other carriers use the macro suggested, but I wouldnt like anything that required me to send a msg everytime I wanted to get out of the van. That would get old pretty quick imo. Its a great idea, though...

    I like the in service/sleeping idea. We could do that at c&m (via phone call...no qcom). We would just tell them a time when we would be available without losing position. This is the first Ive heard of it here, but if its set up right, it's a nice tool.

    My wish for the day. I wish (hope) that the little car I just saw being fueled in the truck lanes has a diesel engine :D It probably does...I couldnt make out the badge though.
