We shared a cup of coffee and they admitted that they had only been on a week. We talked for a while and my...

Based on Terry's comments I contacted Triple AAA Towing and Truck Parts out of River Rouge MI and they said there is no demand for worn out FL 70's, but Chevy 3500 vans that have CRACKED FRONT WINDOWS are desired by the guys who live in the Hood in Detroit.They will have a rep standing by to...

Had it washed last week,provided you don't look at the back door,it looks OK. My monthly payment for the last 3 years has been ZERO. After the show I will drive it to Laredo,leave it running and say goodbye. Hopefuly Juan or Ricardo etc will see an oportunity and they can support their families...

If you really want a working truck and not some class 8 that just goes to shows, I could bring D 2824 up to the show.It is 8.5 years old and has delivered to me about a Million dollars in gross revenue. It does not owe me a cent. Yeah it's kinda beat up but like an old soldier it just goes on...

There are numerous pifalls involved in starting and operating what is essentially a employment agency. Look at the potential legal ramifications. Driver A pays the GOBAG Agency a fee to sign up,an additional fee to be investigated and a additional fee when she/he lands a position. Fleet Owner...

Yeah but when he wakes up in the morning he has to look at the piece of work he is married to,But I guess for 550 million or so we could all do it.

This is probably not the answer but I thought I would pass this on.My neighbor is a US Customs inspector mainly checking out ships and their cargo.He told me that the country has been flooded with false Michelin tires.They are made to look just like Michelins but are 100% counterfeit made down...

This is a very sensitive issue that probably should have not made it to this level of accusations etc. Both DD and Jeff plus Lawrence are all good folks and we do not need this type of comments about them. Ammo can be bought anywhere,weapons are another thing.

I find it amazing that someone who has been in this business less then a year has all of the answers. Can you imagine a apprentice plumber,welder, etc telling long time experienced members of a trade how to set up and run their business. Many of us started with Roberts Express,the A Team up...

I maybe hanging up the D unit class and going down to a Sprinter at the end of this year. I have read about all of the horror stories about the EGR Valve but have also read that it is no longer a problem. Questions to you Sprinter Owners, 1 How long is the factory warranty and can you get an...

Not for me.I prefer to see my HEAD on top of my shoulders and neck.

Nohing to lose by trying to collect unemployment,but unless you have something in writing that specifically says you will be a local driver, I don't think you will win.

In addition to asking for them to forgive us,the next question would be 'How much do we owe you" Bill good to see you on this site again,are you expediting or hanging out. I still want to see that Christamas Card again, that was a classic.

There are signifcant lessons to be learned by Roadhawg's resignation letter to Conway. I don't run for Conway but what happened to him could easily apply to any of us. I am not defending Conway but I cannot find on any maping that it is a 300 mile trip from Wichita KS to Tulsa OK.The routings I...

One other important item is that unless you have a contract with a shipper giving you a dedicated trip with specific times to pickup and deliver,one unit will not work. The shipper needs the freight to go NOW and if you can!t do it because you are 500 miles away,they will not call you again. The...

We had Mega Life for a while and the agent flat out lied to us.He said that there was a $3,000 deductible which I felt was reasonable but what he didn!t say was that this deductible was for each occurrence.I was under the impression that it was a calender year deductible. So we dropped it,I can...

Moving explosives can get hairy at times.Most explosives have the month and year they were manufactured stencilied on the side of the crates.We have had mortar rounds that were made in 1948. One time we hauled land mines that were made in Russia and captured in Bosnia,brought to the US for...
