Re: Installing Fan-Tastic Roof Vent On Cargo Vans I'll have to do this fairly soon, but the thread might sink out of sight. Can this thread be stickied, please? :) Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

At home, sick. On the mend today, though :) Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

Bounced across Kentucky then down to CSX in Waycross, GA. Last night, ran to Hamlet NC. Town well-named ;-) . Now in Dunn, NC. I either wait or deadhead 425 miles home. Decisions, decisions.... Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

Did 400 Tuesday night, got 6 hrs fitful sleep, did 900 just now. Don't have the last 55 to go from Waycross to Brunswick. Got a room. Tired makes stupid, stupid makes tragedy. Even a n00b knows that. Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

FWIW, I'm not calling for CV's to be brought under the same regulatory scheme as big trucks (CDL's, etc); if they were, I'd be purged along with the "cubies". I just think cubes should be weighed. It will not happen, though; imagine the stink Penske, UHaul, etc would raise if Ma & Pa Kettle...

I haven't named my source because 1. I didn't ask permission to quote him, and 2. I'm still contracting with his company and wish to continue doing so. Is he pulling my leg? Mebbe; after al, I AM a n00b. OTOH, maybe he meant to say (or I misheard him) that there are 650 new trucks out there...

I got it from the president of an established carrier, a member of TEANA. They met last week in Kentucky, to try to come up with a plan to deal with it. Trust me, I've heard my share of CB/truckstop stories on this too; one rumor has these guys earning $60 a day, regardless of mileage :eek: ...

But it hold seex skeed, da? I'd bet a bottle of Stoli that at least 50% of them are overloaded.... Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

I spoke to the president of one of my carriers today ( I run for two ), and we discussed the slowdown in van freight. One very interesting thing he shared with me is that one person or firm has started 650 (yes, 650!!) new carriers just recently. This leads to several questions, one of which...

He can love that too, he just can't post about it :eek: Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

Corbin to Erwin, TN. Now @ Pilot in Greeneville. While in Corbin, I checked out Sanders' Cafe, birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Wonder what the Colonel would think of KFC now :confused: Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

It can't be Russian, there's no faded yellow paint or shadows of the word "Penske" :eek: Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app

Moved to J in Walton KY for a night, then did run to Belvidere Sunday night. Yesterday, Milwaukee to Detroit. Now at the Detrioter; it's crawling with vans & yellow cubes. Sent from my SCH-I110 using EO Forums mobile app
