That's exactly right, Greg.And I also believe there is too much greed with this type of worker.Once they lose their jobs, then they'll think twice about what they wanted,when it is too late.

Who was it on here in a different thread recently that spent all week relocating from place to place in hopes of getting a load that never happenened.Wouldnt that be the same as sitting all week? I would think they are worse off than sitting, just for the fact that they spent the fuel to bounce...

i would just go to walmart and get one and run it off of the inverter. Alot cheaper, and I have had good luck with mine so far doing it this way.Been about 3 years so far, and works perfect.

It's really just being prepared for the amount of snow I get at the house, in the area I live, known as the snowbelt.And it is not easy getting to my house, either.Alot of backroads with steep curvy hills, etc.So I just want to be prepared this year, and I am still used to driving a s/t in the...

As far as youre lawn goes, use Chemlawn, or Barefoot grass. 4 applications a year, and you'll have a perfect carpet of grass.$40.00 per application, depending on the yard size. As far as carriers go, I really believe I made a positive move.Alot more professional and agressive and on top of...

I am planning on Putting pretty agressive tires on the rear soon.I just got done balancing and rotating the tires, just doing what I hear works best for alot of people.

I worked for them in 2001, didnt care too much for the management there.Hopefully things have changed since then.And the rates were terrible then, also.

If only my van was about 12" wider, 24" longer, I would be happy.

I was there a few days ago..Too bad we missed each other, it could of been a real hoot!! We could of beat on the side of sleepers and ran away, kinda like ringing doorbells as a kid..lol.

I did the same thing at the Ford stamping plant in Walton Hills, Ohio back in 89. Being full of energy and hungry to get the next load quicker, I backed up to the dock and pulled my pallet jack out and put 4 skids on the dock.The union supervisor comes out yelling as if I had slept with his...

In Tampa, Fla.Waiting for the next one, may relocate tomarrow, but their records show van freight movement out of this area in the past.Alot of nice eye candy to look at, anyway.

That's excactly what I was thinking, also,My girlfreind just mentioned also we would have to log in anything over 10,000 gvw.

The other thread was a good one.But how many times do we encounter dock workers not so intelligent questions? I used to haul prototype freight from Dearborn to Louisville and got to know the head of that dept very well due to alot of after-hour deliveries.It was a nice setup,Separate building...

Amen to that, brother.The younger ones are the worst.Where do they find these people?I had a driver yesterday in Florence, SC ask me what do I haul in that van? I told him freight. He says " I never saw a van that could haul freight" I asked him how long he has been driving."For 15 years" he...

I hope it doesnt slow down...after my summmer-long vacation with the other company.Alot more agressive and positive here, from what I can see.I sure hope this works...lol.

It is actually not that difficult to do.I did 2 a week in my younger days.This was also raising the rear door opening to where you could almost walk in, because some wheelchair lifts were tall when folded up inside.There are several diferent shapes pf raised roofs available.Have it drop-shipped...

My Sterling was the same way.I used super glue to hold everything in place where I wanted it to be,then I used either goop or the welder to secure it long-term. Goop and The welder are glues in a tube found at Homo Depot in the adhesive isle.When that all dries, nothing will take it apart.That...

I am really considering a cube/box as well.But it will add to the cost per mile as far as less fuel mileage, tires, etc.So I am not 100% convinced yet.

And you guys thought I was warped....lol

I used to own a snack food distributorship in the late 80's, sold it, and bought a daycab truck and did the local expedite thing until 91 when I got divorced, bought a new sleeper-equipped truck, signed on with Panther in 95,and been doing it ever since.I love it, even as tough as it is getting...
