Actually not a bad looking van if it hadn’t been tagged.

I like the idea of weighing all six wheel vehicles. If you can’t get them on weight, once they exceed 10,000 lbs, you can check insurance, logbook, etc. Give them enough grief to think twice about it. It’s not all that hard to dodge fixed scales. I really like the idea of weighing all...

A very good friend hauled trucks with me out of GM in Flint until GM dropped the Medium Duty business. 90% of the loads we hauled were illegal in Michigan as they hung off the back of our 53’ dropdecks. We were union, so the company paid the tickets, but as O/O’s we wanted to avoid any...

I left the Boyscouts for the Brownies back in 1960. Everyone’s favorite, a Brownie with nuts.

Haven’t had any two speed rears since the 70’s. As cheap as they were, no idea of the pricing now, I’d think just save your time, throw a new one on, relieve all doubts. About $250 today. I think $40 back in the 70’s.

ATHS. They will lead you to some Mack scrapyards. Parts for a 22 year old low volume truck will be tough. You may want to become friends with a fabricator. Rueble ? There’s someone, probably in New England that specializes in old make parts.

Doesn’t he usually wait until Spring ?

62 % is pretty common. Since you’re just starting, I’d ask for rate confirmation from the start. Every Load, as part of your normal payroll. It’s a good habit if they agree. If not, I’d always have suspicions. By law, you have the right to know.

Extended mid-roof not available in 2018 .

Josh, it is different because ES is not the carrier. Historically, some companies would sell you a truck and pull gimmicks to rip you off. Required inspections at company facilities. You’d flunk and have to buy an overpriced repair to get back on dispatch. Or they’d run you hard, gets lots of...

Generally good advice. I’d say ES is an exception to the rule. They’re not Prime or KLLM. They have such a good reputation and thier company culture is so different than most lease companies. They want you to succeed and grow into a fleet. Then they prosper with you, not off of you.

Thanks

I figured the midroof would handle better and get better MPG. Bolt, etc is what I’d be looking for. If there’s no displays, I can swing by Bolt on my own at anytime.

Buffalo Wild Wings , Mound Rd, Warren If you’ve eaten here you may have been exposed to Hepatitis A. Google it.

I’ve never been to the Expo. Got a line on some good freight. 2 pallets, 2,000 lbs or less. 36 inches max height. Thinking of coming out of retirement with a midroof Transit. Team freight. I want to see some store bought sleepers. Anybody exhibiting these anymore ?

Since no NBA thread... Just watched LeBron dominate Indiana. Cavs win game 7. 105-101

Ours was filmed by the guy that filmed the ceremony. Best Man’s father had an amusement park. Closed it at 6, we had it from 7 to 10. No Alcohol for safety. About 8 hand picked rides. Plenty of round and round, up and down.

I heard my ex was selling our honeymoon video on the internet.

Scott, it’s a safe bet they’ll ride around in a rental car . What do you guys do with them North of the border ?

Hey, if you want to see quicker left turns you’ll have to tune in to Talladega .....
