Blizzard has it right. Days before a holiday are sizzling. Loads across country with and backups to boot. On a side note, TX was certainly good to us this week. Four loads in four loads out with no waiting except one that picks up Tuesday to the east coast. :)

Maybe someone hacked his account?

Speaking on the Onan, I have mixed opinions. Great for a one operator truck, not so much for fleets. To hard to get serviced and cost three times as much for simple oil change mainentance. If you do it yourself, then those costs are eliminated. As for repairs, several issues with the auto-start...

That is about how I look at it. If a libertarian or a third party candidate had even the slightest chance, then I would say vote your conscience. When you only have two, then it goes from conscience to common sense. Common sense tells me we are in for a rough four years with another Obama go around.

Wow....2009. Can you imagine what she thinks now?

No, no no, Obama said in Iowa this week that assessment is "cow pie". He said "he has cut the deficit more than any other president". :confused: Totally hilarious. According to him, any debt we currently have is because of Bush. This guy is totally delusional. Washington Post gave him three...

That is the liberal way. It isn't just Detroit, they pumped millions into the southside of Chicago and the crime rate doubled. Money isn't the answer. Cut the money off and either folks enable themselves or the problem stays the same and no money wasted. I am beginning to think that would be...

One of these days they will figure out that throwing billions at these towns accomplishes nothing. After throwing all that money at the problem, nothing has changed. Actually worse in many areas.

The other issue when you see rates like that is the ratio isn't what you think it is. You have quite a few nameless carriers taking more than one load to get out. With the "double dipping" going on it gives you a false sense of that load ratio.

He will have a uphill climb in Ohio & Virginia because of all the unions there.

I did a google search on the article and it is listed/posted in half a dozen different places. None make mention of who the author is.

According to Obama, if it is negative news, it has to certainly be Bush's fault.

Happens all the time. Some carriers may have a TVAL, lift-gate, credentialed, all matter. They will intentionally hold that truck ( LOCK) back for coverage with a certain customer. Meanwhile they broker loads out right next to where that truck is sitting. Exclusive use in many cases (not all) is...

If you are going to be a "partner carrier" you will likely run for several carriers in order to maintain success.

Have a good one John!

When looking at the smaller unknown carriers, one almost has to look at them with expecting 80 percent of the line haul. If it is the same or lower than other carriers, then the question becomes, why take a higher risk for the same money as a known entity? At the end of the day, no company is...

Looks like they want a little more than just their Obamabucks.

Think I would wait until they have a proven track record of success. No need to gamble your money with a new carrier that may or may not produce. If you are going to do that, might be better off being the carrier.

But we can take comfort in the fact we can heat a can of soup with left over solar panels from the now defunct Solyndra.

To the OP, there may be a question about your truck with a 26 foot box. How big of a sleeper? The majority of teams are going to be looking for the 96"s. Outside of that, the good ones will migrate to the reputable established fleet owners. We currently have a waiting list. Several months from...
