You mean they actually have enough money to turn the lights on, after paying Freeney? :7 Hope to see ya in the SB this year. My team will be there. ;) -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Might wanna check out Landstar also. They get a fair bit out west, and actually get their trucks back as well. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

He already said... 12 skids, 20k#. Most of the dual-axle trucks I've seen were placed slightly behind the center of the truck, like yours. As I've said, I'm guessing; but it sounds like they could've been spread front to back. Davekc knows more about this than I do. -Vampire Super Slooth...

Rough estimate... I average 5 skids, or about 12' of space. The truck we were running had a 22' box, and it was filled many times in the past year. And many times, we had one or two skids thrown on the back end. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

We bought a battery at Auto Zone. Just disconnected the batteries from each other, left them in the box, and one of their ppl brought out a load tester and found which one was bad. They carry big truck batteries for around $75. Having 3 go out at once is weird. The truck we were driving had 3...

Another really dumb question. How much space do you have for freight? Wouldn't it be easier to make a deck with some of your load bars, and put the boxes and blankets on that? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

A couple years ago, we brought pup trailers up in a thread. I can't find it, but someone said that FXCC allowed them, and had one or two running. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

How far from the front of the box to the center of the tandems? How long is your box? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

One skid high, front to back, sounds like how I would have loaded it, if the skids weighed the same. Unless the rears are too far back, you shouldn't be over on the front. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

I know IN is getting extended from Indianapolis to Evansville. US-59 and 77 in TX is designated Future I-69... at least south of Houston. 59 runs from Texarkana to Laredo. Then 77 runs from Brownsville north toward I-35. I'm guessing it'll go US-77 from Brownsville to Beeville (or therebouts)...

Split sleeper was ignored by the same judge who's cutting us down to 10 hrs, and took away the 34 hr reset. Can't blame OOIDA... at least they were there. Fuel surcharge didn't make it thru the Senate. ATA had more clout to buy off our officials. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Gut instinct, intuition, common sense... all have to do with a combination of emotion and experience. This circumstance steered Blizzard's instincts. His experience (of being the only truck of his class in the area) told him that he had a better chance than not of getting a better run in a...

I was expecting to read "Then the qc went off and I woke up." ;) -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Ya make your own luck, depending on how ya play the game. Anyone can win a poker tournament. Not too many can win more than one. Blizzard knew the right time to fold em, in this case. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

When my nephew and I ran a D with Panther, we got hit with a lot of Detroit area to Windsor area loads. Even when we were out of service, they'd call and beg us to take them. When we did give in, it was always for what we wanted. Rarely did I worry about missing a run, as we got put on the first...

>I thought you had to be a big Michael Jackson fan. "How much for your little boy?"

But like I said earlier, the driver's wreckless driving did not cause those pilots to swerve to miss him. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Now that you know the Col was agreeing with you, you don't feel any humility? Instead, you charge those of us who understood what he said to be crackpots. Since 'Jesus is Lord', according to your avatar, I was thinking WWJD? Barring the idea that Jesus wouldn't have stuck his foot in his mouth...

BINGO, Flatbeddin!!! If they "listened" instead of just read and assumed, they'd have figured out the Col was agreeing and added that he'd have a cool alcoholic beverage as well. The Col has a lot to teach. But some ppl can't see the wisdom thru the words (forest thru the trees?). To answer the...
