Has anyone posted a sample letter yet? If we had a good one we could copy and edit it then send it on.

My IRP Tag in Florida was $600. 33,000 lb D unit. As everyone else has said, drive for someone else before you spend all your money. This life style isn't for everyone.

New York City, Denver and anywhere we can't get a load. We love driving out west, but can't afford to go there and sit for 5 days.

We had Centramatics installed on our steers about 15000 miles ago. One of them has leaked all of the oil out of it on our run from SC to NY this weekend. I talked to the manufacturer and was told it would be best to go back to Speedco where we bought them, even though any shop that sells them...

Flying J, Pembroke, NY. Drove up from Rock Hill, SC. What a horrible drive. Whiteouts, unplowed highways, accidents everywhere. Someone needs to turn the snow maker off.

Go for the Class 8 if you are going over the road. Class 7's will do the job but an 8 will do it a lot longer. Buy the right tool for the job.

Thanks Humble2drive. Were you the couple that had rented the car? Maybe next time we run across each other we will have more time to visit.:)

Congratulations Greg.

Greg is up to14983 posts. 17 more and he will reach that magic goal of 15,000. Will he make it tonight?

We have a straight truck that has an empty weight of 22300 lbs and an Eaton 10 speed ultrashift with a Mercedes MBE 4000 @450 HP. We drive at 65 most of the time and our mileage for last year was 9.3 MPG. No APU so we have to idle. Howes meaner cleaner seems to bump up our MPG about .5 miles to...

Re: Jan Location At the J, Blacksburg, SC. Just did FL to Indy, then Indy to Kings Mountain, NC. Waiting on the next one.:)

Occasionally our great new Quallcom has decided to shut down and then start itself up again. It takes forever and is a real pain when you are available on CLINK as load opps don't come through. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to update your logs while you are still doing an...

Another great game for the Lions. It is too bad they couldn't get it together earlier in the season. And as for my Dolphins. I predict that next year we will have a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator and a new quarterback or two.

You did 104,000 miles as a solo! WOW! Way to go OVM.

We received almost $2000 in fuel discounts at T/A last year. We only use the J's parking lot and restrooms. Sometimes we will eat at the Denny's. If we need a shower we will pay for one.

The drinking age was 18 when I was 18. With fake ID I could get into bars at 16 or 17. From my experience I would have to say the drinking age should stay at 21. An exception should be made for anyone serving on active duty in the military. If you are old enough to fight and die for your country...

Once when there were no semis in the area and the customer couldn't wait our carrier dispatched 2 straights to take the load. I guess it would depend on the customer and carrier to decide.

It's the first day of the year. What are you plans for today? I plan to watch a few bowl games, start loading the truck to go back in service on Monday, maybe a trip to Wally World to get some supplies and meat to grill tonight. And update my spread sheets for this year.

Wow, you two did great. We bought a lot of our fuel in Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Missouri and Indiana. And ran most of our miles elsewhere.

Our fuel taxes on our settlements were $610 for the year. So we came out about $1400 ahead.
