You got that right Phil. We could manage our time much better when we could do 5 hours on and 5 off. They should just let US decide how we should run. Set a limit 10 hours a day what ever and let us decide how to fit in the rest and driving as needed. We DO know better what our bodies need...

We are in no hurry to get the new system installed. We see little to no benefit to our operation, only added costs. We will surely have to have it in sooner or later, later is better. This system already costs too much, to pay more for no real gain is a pain. HEY, that rhymes! :p

Too bad this administration does NOT believe in the "Freedom" part. We have been moving towards the Soviet ideas on religion for a very long time. I never thought that I would see the day when a sitting American president would go to speak in a religious institution and REQUIRE them (by refusing...

My revenues should be going up and are. I have little doubt that FDCC is doing all they can to find more opportunities, at least in our "specialized" areas. We have gone on "sales calls" with agents when customers requested to see a truck. (paid the truck to do this) Trucks have to move to make...

I read the wrong lines. Our Average loaded miles are up .04 per mile and our average per all miles is up .08 per mile. Our gross is up despite having to take off more time for health stuff.

One other thing is for certain, they are wasting a LOT of their own time as well.

Maybe. I am not sure on that one. We have seen a big difference in the "type" of loads we carry. We turn down all of those "stupid" offers no matter how often we are offered them. We always include a rate that we are willing to run that load for. We always put the rate at a level that makes us a...

Not ours Greg. I just checked our average loaded mile rate is up .02 per mile over the same time last year. Our average rate per all miles is up .03 over the same time last year.

We have all of our records on a hard drive, a flash drive AND, at the end of the year, we put everything on a DVD and keep that in the gun safe. Paper files are keep in a box. We keep what little paper we have just to have it. You can't read them little receipts after a while.

I would like to buy some of that tape they use on them. I have several that could be reused.

The system was new in 2005. I have been told by 4 Carrier dealers that it would cost a lot of money to covert to R134. The insulation is a REAL problem and needs looked at. The only problem is time to do it. The cheapest I have be told on getting hose done was $400 and that price was ONLY if...

They told me that it would be 4-500 dollars to replace the lines. Then I would still have a unit that is too small for my sleeper. 10,000 BTU's is just not enough. The other plus to running my ProHeat as just a generator and putting a roof top on is I get shore power. I could add that to the...

LOL!!! I tried!! :p

I would have to have it done. I understand HOW it works, just not HOW to do it. I have to do something. That A/C just does NOT cut it. Too wimpy for one thing and it needs a lot of work. New hoses etc. I would rather spend that money to get MORE BTU's than keeping the same.

I have mixed feelings on the computers Greg. For sure not computers prior to high school. I can see computer classes in high school. I had a computer at my house when my kids were young. They could NOT play games on it very often. They had to learn typing and computer skills. Now, they DID...

Yeah, there were mainly military correspondents on the battlefields during WWII. Censorship is a MUST during combat operations. You are right. We reward BAD people and their actions today and many ridicule law abiding citizens for theirs. It is crazy. It is a small wonder that things are even...

Kicking over somebody's generator is a REALLY good way to get "knuckled" and I mean good!! :eek: Just what is everybody going to do anyway. Idling is expensive and not good for the truck. It is illegal in many areas. Good quiet generators cost a fortune. I don't believe that there is one really...

They are far more optimistic on Detroit area housing prices than I am. In our area, Monroe, there has been little movement in prices. If anything they are still dropping a bit. Nothing in the works to suggest any real change. No new jobs coming in at all. :(

Has anyone in here "stripped" an old ProHeat, used it as a generator only to run a roof mount AC unit? If so, how is it working? How many BTU's does your unit have?

Not only the press, OVM, many people in general have forgotten that "rights" carry responsibilities. Freedom of speech does NOT mean that you can run around saying anything you want anytime that you want, but many people think and act that way. The same can be said of every right we have in this...
