Video killed the radio star: now there's a blast from my past !!! Cool song by the Buggles, if I remember correctly.

Yes, you are correct, Mr OVM. But dreaming never hurt anybody, right?

Yep.right now, with fuel being at or around $3.00 per gal, It is costing me .20 cpm to operate the van, not including the .07 cpm for all repairs, maintenance, etc.I hope to bring that fuel number down, though.

I went there once,in the straight truck. I don't know which way you came, but I remember coming out of Baltimore, headed east and there was this bridge that was real narrow, barely 2 lanes wide, that had a sharp curve to the left in it, and jersey barriers on both sides for guard rails. It was...

In a heartbeat, even if they or someone was to bring back Autoquick.I'd love to run just the Ohio, Ind and Mi only areas again and be home every night, or close to it.

Still at the house....in service since Friday morning....clearing out some more trees...Fertilized the lawn yesterday.....cleaned up a winter's worth of dog crap...lol.

awesome point that many companies/dispatchers do not take into consideration.

I honestly think that there may be an agreement between the carrier mentioned and the large fleet owner with the red KW's to supply the carrier with white-glove equipped trucks. They are the only ones that I can see that can afford to buy new loaded trucks at the cost of $189,000. One of those...

I'm lost on this one...LOL.

I see what youre saying, but I was looking at it from this way: 350 lm x .87 cpm pay ($304.50) 155 mt _ .28 cpm operating cost ($141.50) 505 total mi = .32 cpm profit ($163.50) This is 44% deadhead. Chances are, with...

Back in service,got offered at 350 miler with 155 deadhead to pick it up. Yea, right.Not worth leaving the house for that.

That is one tough thing, to put down a family pet after it has been with a family for so long.I dread the day I have to do it to my dog.Hang in there.

both bruno and dakota said it best on this one.

Instead of physically going someplace to figure this out, wouldnt just using a tape measure been alot easier?

It seems like there is this Fed-Ex van driver that I run into quite often, real nice guy, that has a ord van with a 5.4 gasser and he said by using K&N airfilters and Flowmaster muffler his fuel mileage now hits 18-19 mpg on the highway, using cruise.Don't know how true this is, but what reason...

And what exactly do you mean by this? March has proven to be a great month so far, so good that I could afford to take the past week off for yesterdays funeral with no worries.It sounds like you need to change your negative attitude, you are defeated before you start with that kind of thinking...

Good things come to those who wait:I am so glad you have been blessed by what has happened recently.I always had a feeling your never-ending patience would pay off real quick, and it has.I just regret I wasnt able to help you out in some way.

Thank you, Turtle.I responded to Bruno's post before I saw your post.The rest of the T/A's that are not franchise owned are owned by corporate, Hospitality management inc.

No, Bruno, you are wrong.The Iowa 80 group owns the t/a in Kenly just as they own the Petro in Oak Grove,Mo. and the Iowa 80 truckstop in Walcott,Iowa, along with the Catscale company as well.Call them and ask them for yourself.

Yea, Bosselmans are really nice, arent they? The one on 80 in Nebraska is awesome in so many ways.
