I appreciate the thought. I just needed to vent. :)

Looks like it blew a head gasket. Until I can finance another truck, I'll be driving for someone. Still have to find someone to salvage it. Not to mention I have one more payment to go. I dare not say, "What else can go wrong?" :eek: But it seems like I've seen it all.

I see, said the blind man. ;)

Beautiful in a macabre sort of way. What I wonder is why is a UK paper reporting on this? I'm sure they have similar buildings in their towns of 25% unemployment.

They have reserve tanks on their trucks, and carry cheap Mexican fuel. That's how they do it.

Don't worry. The lying goes both ways. It's something you have to deal with.

The most successful relocations during my expedite career are to go as short as possible. When you separate yourself from the other trucks (and I don't necessarily mean your own company's trucks) you have put yourself in the best possible position. Now I'm not saying it will always work. And I'm...

First, you have to apply for your MC# and fed tax#. Then, your permits. I went thru OOIDA to get permits and tidy up all loose ends. A word of caution tho. Make sure they TOTALLY UNDERSTAND what kind of truck you are running, or they'll assume you have a semi rated at 80k. Personally, I...

Turtle, does Stockman's have a Freightliner down the road from it? If so, they have cramped parking and good food. Personally, I like the Petro west of Minneapolis. Can't remember the name of the restaurant, but they have AWESOME food!!! Rice sausage with blueberry fritter toast, etc. Mmm...

Yep, we do. And we pay the price when something happens. I don't feel like paying for some other country's abortions (accidents due to less than stellar maintenance) on our own soil.

Scale inspection? They don't need no stinkin scale inspection! Do you know how easy it is to route yourself around a scale? Until they finally DO get caught, what kind of damage is possible with that loose tie-rod end? Those missing lug nuts? That faulty wiring? I, for one, don't want to see it.

I hate a lot of places. That doesn't keep me from going there, tho. I just follow the money.

Except where we use nuts and bolts, they'll use bungee cords and masking tape.

I was thinking more of Hitchin a Ride. :D

One major difference... Canadians can afford to upkeep their trucks!

I'm not a team anymore. My nephew is off and running solo.

Only one problem... there is no American Democracy. There will be one ONLY IF our system of 'representative republic' collapses.

Sorry bout that. I was with them since the beginning of 06. Left them this past summer. You may be right about them not always having cvs. They told me they have them to keep the customers happy. However, they were moving vans great around Aug, like everyone else did. Also, they pay one of the...

Where did you get your info from??? Just about everything you've stated is caca.

Yes. Unfortunately, it left Al Franken in Minnesota's senate seat.
