    I love my 12 footer.3 skid loads don't happen all of the time.But they do, it does take up the whole 12 foot, 48x48 skids.3 skid loads are fine with me if it is the type of load that can be unloaded upon arrival to the consignee.But, if I am married to that load for the weekend, or for a longer...

    Mattresses

    I bought a Sealy firm standard twin mattress from Menards for 100 bucks this evening.I figure this, combined with my 4" memory foam topper, should give me the firm support plus the comfort of memory foam.I'll test it out at home.

    Unloaded, got a new windshield today, the guy broke the first one...Then, I get a call from a Panther recruiter..The guy had a real poor attitude for being in recruiting...very snobby and unfriendly..to say the least...Taking a shower, going to IKEA to see what mattresses they have..then go...

    Mattresses

    Ordered my pragma bed the other day, should be at he house this week.Looking for a mattress as well. This one I have, for some reason, has gone limp on me...I mean, soft, I mean, it is not memoryieeee foamy at all anymore.....just like a piece of foam in the warm weather.Now, when it is cold, it...

    Multiple Carrier Cargo Van, Sprinter, Box Truck Drivers

    The number I posted was all miles, empty and loaded combined.I think you make more than me, based on the height, length, and weight that you can haul versus me.You are more versatile than I in many ways.The only advantage I have over you is a paid for vehicle, but I am sure my maintenance costs...

    I hear ya, but I don't think John or Load One is going anywhere, except up and forward.So that is not a concern or worry of mine.One example of being leased onto several small companies where getting paid may be a problem is Landshark.I wonder how many o/o's are owed money from them? Will they...

    Replacing Cab

    On the frame in several spots the vin# will be stamped in it.Take that to the dealer and have them run it, and get a build sheet, or as International calls it, a line setting ticket for the truck, and that should take care of that.I had a friend that had a truck that was put together with...

    Undisclosed company...now, that's funny! and highly unlikely, as much as I'd like it to be a reality...lol... Thanks for paging me letting me know that the barbecue was commencing.I must of been in a real deep sleep, thinking of that undisclosed company. Thank you, John, for stepping up to the...

    Multiple Carrier Cargo Van, Sprinter, Box Truck Drivers

    Okay, here is my question: I also have a friend leased on with several smaller carriers at once also.A load comes up, and then, BOOM! 3 or 4 calls from all his leased carriers, asking him if he wants them to bid on the load.Sure, he says.So, with all of this in mind, all 3 or 4 carriers bidding...

    At the yard.Deliver Tues morning.Word has it a barbecue may be brewing here tomarrow with all of the drivers that are here.May go home for awhile after getting unloaded.Way too much to do, and it has been awhile since I have been home.But, a good load could change all of that...Sorry, Dynamite...

    7.3 now running hot in the mountains

    Turtle hit the nail on the head.It is surprising how much dirt and fuzz gets trapped between the condenser and the radiator.But you really can't see it.Spend a Saturday, and pull the radiator, and get a couple of cans of a/c coil condenser cleaner from Home Depot, and satuarate it, then rinse it...

    I can fit under the generator basket, and under the van without jacking it up on mine....lol....now, getting out from underneath is another story...lol.. I change mine myself all the time, grease it, etc.Alot easier than waiting for someone to do it...15 minutes max...
