    Stuck in carlisle pa!

    Getting"Stuck" is the name of the game.Sure, it gets frustrating, but these are the ABC'S of this business.Don't let it get to you.Keep you're mind on other things, stay positive.Take up needlepoint, or something to pass the time away...lol..I rarely call dispatch to see what is going on.I know...

    goodyear or dunlop tires

    Being Italian, I prefer the Dunlop tires, because when they go flat, they go, WOP-WOP-WOP.....lol...Actually, I prefer Continental tires, because they are made in 14 ply for the steer axle, and are much more stronger of a tire.

    Box for straight truck

    Rocketman, that is something I didn't realize.You're right.He can call Phil Robertson of Robertson truck sales in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, by the Flying Pilot on rt.36, just east of the Flying J.They usually have 50 boxes sitting on the ground at all times.Real good people, old school, and they do it...

    Box for straight truck

    It sounds like swing doors mounted on a roll-up made rear frame.How good of condition is you're box in? Rivets loose and popping out? Are the walls bulging? Paint? Any shadows from previous carrier decals? Floor? have there been any previous repairs? (They usually go above the rear tires first...

    I'd either shoot up 95 to St.George, s.c., at the new flying pilot, or like he said, Jackson, Georgia.There's even a chrome shop there in Jackson, along with some good barbecue! Hold on, I forgot, you are a rolling barbecue stand! Go there, and show him how it's done! I know it can get...

    I think we have to overlook his rowdiness this week, as he is getting bored, going stir crazy, and is looking for amusement to keep his mind off of things..lol.

    I'd rather pay more to have a job done right than the opposite.I have often noticed the shops that I have had bad work done at were unkept, no organization, tools laying everywhere.To me, sloppy shop=sloppy work.If a shop takes the extra time to go the extra mile to keep his shop neat and clean...

    Freight rates and fuel prices!

    Maybe if ALL the carriers would give 100% of the fuel surcharge to the owner-operator.I've worked for a few that keep part of it.I mean, what business do they have to take money from us that is intended to go to us in the first place? They don't pay for the fuel, WE do. Another fact supporting...

    Prank call other rooms from the phone in you're room? When it gets dark, go outside, dressed in black, and beat on the doors to other rooms and hide? Just a thought....lol.. Go to Wal-Mart and people watch as you sit in the patio furniture display? Going to bed now...

    Weekend dispatch and God came through with a nice load, to turn it from being in the red to being in the black for the week.Thank you. Something tells me this slow period is going to break loose real soon. Tell the competition to get off of the tracks, because the freight train is coming through.
