The problem is 6 black boys beat down a white boy for calling them the n word. I don't think he should have done that, but just cause someone says something to you you don't like it doesn't give you the right to beat him down. If this is how they act now how will they act as adults? I'm sure I...

I also noticed when I was driving that my blood pressure would be lower after a couple of days at home relaxing than what it was while on the road. So you may want to consider taking a couple of days of relaxing before the recertifaction. How much sodium are taking in? If you cut off the sodas...

There are 2 scales I can think of right off the top of my head to avoid at almost all costs. Shrevport,La and Banning, Ca. Shrevport is one of the only scales I know of to weigh spread axles seprately. I had a load of lumber going from north of New Orleans to Jefferson,TX. Got weighed at the...

Yeah me to. The thing is you have options if you know where to look.

My friend that lives down the street is leased on to panther in an e unit and he stays busy. What he does is utilize the fact that let you book your own loads. If he gets a run like he picked up last night in Detroit for monday in Salt Lake City we start looking for him a load out while he's on...

Running the west coast would be sweet if you could get return frieght. I'd much rather run west of the mississppi than i would east of it. Frieght just isn't that great for expedite over here though. I think in 10 years expedite will be more of a 48 state operation than it is now. Especially as...

One thing I liked about transtewart was the fact it was a small company and they me by name. they what I was capable of doing. It didn't take for them to realize I was good at pulling the fat out of the fire. So when there was a problem like a breakdown they would call me to come in a grab the...

When I looked into converting a tractor into a d unit I talked to Pine Bluff Truck and trailer in Pine Bluff,AR. They also told me that main thing on figuring the cost would be adding driveshafts.

RE: Which of these carriers are the best one to wo I see you have ups on your list. From what I can gather there are slow about putting on new trucks. So they may not be an option unless you have time to wait to lease on. Another good company imo is transtewart. they are a small family owned...

My first question would be to ask where are you from so maybe people can try to think of somewhere clos to your location.

IMO chains are to be used to get you far enough down the road to find a safe place to park. Something else to remember is chains are hard on your tires. I wouldn't want to run them for a long period of time.

So are thier trucks going to be any better for otr/expedite application or not? I was expecting to find out they were making improvements to thier trucks or something.

I thought most of the col's trucks were curtainsides? could be wrong but I sure thought they were.

Someone should come out with a map that shows what states vans a required to scale in and the ones they aren't. I bet you could make a few bucks off of them.

I guess a 1.00 to 1.10 would be pretty good for a cargo van.

Are you wanting something like a bulkhead so you can have a small dedicated sleeper area? If so why not buil it out of 2x4s and plywood?

I think I did good when I first started just out of the enthuasim you have when you start something new. I might have done better had my fleet owner been a little more honest, but thats a different story .Just learned a hard lesson I won't forget.

The reason I know about the floor is from reading your blog. I didn't want you thinking I was saying Oh you had a good year, so what was that floor thing about. So do you think you'll get another truck? In one of your blogs it sounded like the truck you have now you plan on running for 10 years...

Phil, I'm glad to hear you are having a good year. How is the new truck floor working out so far? I didn't mean that in any sarcastic manner just wondering.

I think what was done in oklahoma is great. My only thing is you can pass all the laws you want on paper, and they may look good. But these laws aren't worth the paper they are written on if they aren't enforced. Look at the federal laws on the books that go unenforced. If it wouldv'e been up to...
