I did the on call 24/7 for three years, it was a PITA. Even if I was on vacation (which was few and far between) I was still on call, even got a call on a cruise on the middle of the Atlantic.

I guess it begs the question why are there truck drivers who think they deserve respect?

Welcome to our world. the administration fee is for what? Was there a breakdown? Breakdown Assistance? You expect them to do this for free?

The biggest issue would not be actually checking the load but having the load check marked off on your log and if you are a team, when you change drivers to document the check. A lot of officers will not care but it is that one Pr*ck who has to pick on little C units who will inspect...

Sorry Joe, the problem is that not one person's rights are trashed with them protesting in the form that they are using. NOT BEING offended is not a right. AND I absolutely disagree that there is a freedom to bury your own dead, that is not a right and never was. Freedom is a license within...

I estimate it to be $1500 but that is an estimate. :)

Wow what a great way to increase your ratings from 14 to 16.

So your insurance is a commercial policy? I just saw the costs, that's not really bad if it is a commercial policy.

why say run away? I think it isn't all that of a bad deal, it is hauling less than 30 pounds of stuff in a car/minivan or pickup. There are two parts I am wondering about. Is it only the three stops or is there more? AND how do you figure that you are operating at a loss at .46 a mile?

OK mygia, sorry but I don't agree with the other two because any official can break the seal to inspect cargo regardless what it is. Putting a seal on the box means little because you as a driver are the person responsible for the securement of the freight, not the dock people, not the forklift...

Mark I feel you are not listening at all. Read those questions and answer them yourself. The problem, despite owning a Bay, is that your enthusiasm is over shadowing reality.

OH so you don't have air ride but air assist. I have looked at the air ride conversion for vans and sprinters and wonder what, if any weight savings there is with the elimination of the springs and the use of air bags.

Load-1 uses the first in first out thing?

Cheri, Where did you buy your mind reading device? :D

I agree with you Leo, I would like to see a better effort to get rid of them - more religious counter effort that is among the other groups who proclaim a righteous position in the world. Opp Diva, sorry didn't see that. I look at it as a community thing, not a country thing. Having the...

Thanks a lot chef, where did you get that ability to read minds? :o

Not to p*ss you off diva but I am wondering why the word patriot? I understand they are not doing this for the country but for the people who fallen. They are fighting an injustice that would have victimized their community as much as the family of the fallen. I wish more would do this.

I don't know, I only saw his shell twice and it was buttoned up tight. I know my espar which is a lot older draws 5 amps after it starts which it draws 15 for 30 seconds on start up. At 5 amps, my battery lasts 8 hours without an issue and I charge it when I warm the truck up. If I had three...

Trade you. Seriously here is what I would do only if a layoff is looming on the horizon, I would start with getting a cargo van to drive everyday. I would get a used van a few years old and pay it off asap. Then I would keep reading and put some money into outfitting it and then when you do...

RULE NUMBER ONE - DO NOT USE COLLATERAL THAT YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO LOSE. Using real property in a venture that has a higher risk than normal coupled with an inexperience will cause you to lose more than you may be able to handle. You do not need a lawyer with transportation experience, you...
