Maybe I'm not explaining it right. When I broke down, I could've had it towed to the dealer in Birmingham, which was appox 10 miles. Instead, I had it towed from the consignee to Columbus, GA. Instead of 10 miles to a dealer when it first broke down, it was towed 40 miles to a dealer from the...

I agree. At least a 300hp motor before adding an axle. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Ateam... this is just a hypothetical. I don't know who will ultimately pay for the tow to the consignee. Just trying to get opinions here, for now. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

I'll state my experience, if it helps clarify things. Just south of Birmingham, AL, the truck broke down. My delivery was in Auburn, AL (100+ miles away). The company requested I get towed to Auburn. Since the owner of the truck wasn't available, I made the call to cover the company's butt. But...

Truck breaks down 100 miles from consignee at midnight. Freight can't be swapped with a truck backing up to yours as freight is too wide for a pallet jack. No reasonable place to dock swap until morning, and freight is due at 9am. Company wants you to have it towed to drop instead of the local...

Either Wagoner or Pryor, OK has those trailers on private property that say SPEED TRAP AHEAD! I love it when common sense and decency overrides the greed of local authority. :D -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

2-3% error rate on his radar gun. That's all you had to say if he gave you a ticket. Also... calibrated instruments, like his radar or laser gun, have to be checked every year or twice a year or so. Good guess is they weren't. Always something to keep in mind if you go to court. -Vampire Super...

I hope this guy can get things going... or a responsible company will buy his patent and do the same. This reminds me of Stan Meyers. If you don't know of him, he came up with a similar venture based on electrolysis. Apparently, the Saudis tried to buy him off with $1 billion. Here's his story...

That's kinda obvious, Night, because of what you drive and who you drive for. Quit puttin stuff into ppls' heads that they can make your money in a little truck. :P -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

>Terry, he was an O/O so You could say they boff did. >However ya wanna split it. Makes little difference to me. A different twist, Col... was that truck gross or truck and Foster's gross? -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

RE: need to get rid of all of unconstitutional la Jayman... try about 20 years prior to FDR. Woodrow Wilson signed income tax into law. But I think most of us agree FDR pushed an extremely socialist agenda. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

Sounds like you have a good idea of what's going on. The internet has made it easier to get into the biz, so of course there are more companies involved in the equation. Add to it companies that have no problem passing on cheap freight to their contractors. Add to that the fact that a number of...

When members from "respected" nations get caught dipping their fingers into the oil-for-food pie, does it surprise you they're losing credibility and influence? All this does is make me wonder who in the UN is getting rich from the BILLIONS flowing thru the "global warming" sieve. -Vampire...

Look on the bright side... it thins out the idiot population. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

No O'Riley or Beck. By the have nots, I mean that the Kyoto Treaty does not apply to them. China doesn't have to sign on. India doesn't have to sign on. Two of the worst polluters, and they are not accountable! Science doesn't pick and choose, but the UN does. That's SOCIALISM! -Vampire Super...

"I meant it like keep driving it home until it sticks..." Much the same way Chairman Mao or Stalin drove it home? To state an opinion is one thing. Promoting it with a concert of kumbaya is another. But disagreeing with these ppl is tantamount to being evil. Personally, I don't believe I'm evil...

There are 7 new wonders cause ppl can't leave things alone. Same reason we only have 8 planets now. To counter that one, why don't they just launch Rosie up there to circle the Sun? She'd end up the second biggest planet once she eats Uranus. :7 The same ppl name the top 100 movies or songs and...

RE: What companys pay the most per mile, and inclu From what I've read and heard, most van drivers will drop their loads and head home anyways. So a team like Elite Way wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for vans. Personally, I see it as a waste to drive empty that much. One guy I met in...
