Glad you finally spelled it out...I don't think he thought you had it in ya.. :D btw... those are some real good specs. Personally I would probably stop at 16'4" or 16'6" and make the doors something like 74"-76" tall. That would give plenty of space for 4 skids and even if you wanted to put...

lol.......

I've been using your wife's :D

newbs.... don't take much to entertain 'em :D

Yes....and if he did ask exactly that, he might get the answer he is looking for.

Use the search function and you will learn alot. It has been discussed alot. The cube will be taller which allows taller freight which makes for more loads and revenue. The 12' cube is also capable of hauling 3 skids where the van will probably be a 2 skid. That also adds revenue. The...

This is true... but it is just as true for many other trades. If your income is based solely on the amount of work YOU are able to produce, insurance becomes a very important consideration.

Are we having fun yet? :D I'll be the first to admit...it's Diva's fault!!

hmmm... I've got a pair of Double H boots sitting here with "Made in China" on the tag. Never thought to look.

ok... I saw it, then forgot it.

I don't get it? Who are you referring to?

Your assuming too much. Your assuming that the owner can and will pay for the hotel room. Your assuming that the owner can and will allow you buy fuel. This does not mean that the owner is a bad person. He may have just gotten in over his head and absolutely have no way of making those things...

Exactly. I am as tired of being regulated as anyone, but I don't see a huge intrusion here according to the OP's quotation. If they do more than what is stated, then I might have a different opinion, but the original statement doesn't look intrusive to me. The act of obtaining the clearances...

But, what happens when a terrorist gets through the system and blows up something big (911...'ish). If I remember correctly, everyone was upset as to how the 911 terrorist were able to get through the system and take flying lessons in the US. Who do you report too? I would suppose that you...

I think I brushed my teeth in a truckstop bathroom once or twice. Never again.

Oh, I agree that there may be an unlimited supply..at least until the economy recovers, IF it recovers. I just think that it will be somewhat contained to Uship. There may be a few who would actually research other segments of the industry, but I think most will just want to take whatever piece...

I watched it tonight. My take is that as long as Uship is sponsoring it, the shows will be about Uship. I don't see our industry being effected by it much. It could benefit us in fact. All of those people that think they want to play truck driver for a while will jump right into the Uship mess...

address verification, discussion of responsibilities, inspection of vehicle with regulated cargo. What is wrong with that? I don't see anything saying you have to allow them into your home. I don't see anything stating that they are allowed to INSPECT anything other than the truck ? What am I...

This is worth copying and repeating. Listen up newbies! Not having any money is bad (understandable these days, but still bad). Being 1,000 miles from home in 20 degree weather with no money is worse.
