Might work for a short period until your eqiupment is worn out.

Why not? You can run a straight truck at sprinter rates. All miles and as many as you can get.

Wow....a whole .15 cents. DH 100 and you might have enough for a candy bar. As mentioned, Good for investors, pretty questionable for contractors.

Depends on what you are buying and selling at. With regards to utilities, they can be fairly stable because most utility companies have little competition. Need upgrades or anything else, they just raise the rates.

As a potential transportation stock purchase they might not be too bad. Time will tell. As a prospective contractor or fleet owner, probably not. Below industry average in compensation and a flat rate fuel surcharge would nix them off my list. If that changed, then they could be worth a...

Goes on quite a bit actually.

Ok...enlighten me. They do recoveries and transfers all the time. Actually, we even do them for other carriers. I think you are confused.

Well......I might not answer the phone, but the wife will.:D

They are two separate issues with regards to the contract I have with Panther. In a nutshell, I control the truck, and they control the freight. Case in point. We had several years ago where a tow truck was sent but it was too small and would damage my truck. I wouldn't let the truck be towed...

With most leases the carrier has certain rights with regards to the freight, but not the vehicle. Unless of course they own or lease it.

Getting harder to blame Bush, so they have to find something new. Those darn economic terrorists.

The weight per pallet on decking depends on the rating of your shoring devices.

I'm just glad we have reached a point that the fleet owner isn't stealing it. Well......in most cases.

I remember posting on this years ago and some were bent on it not being "true expedite". Mainly because it wasn't "exclusive use". The load gets an exclusive pallet next to another exclusive shipment that pays a expedite rate. I then declared it a "exclusive load". :D

This has been going on for years and been posted on about the same amount of times. Where do people think all those van loads disappear from in laredo?:eek:

Could be a injector or speed sensor. That engine has two of them (speed sensors). Either one could give you those symptoms if you have ruled out the fuel pump.

The only mistake you made was not confirming if this place had the alternator. Outside of that, your choices become limited. Having it towed to the consignee or going the repair route you did is likely the outcome. Your other option as mentioned, is to facilitate the whole repair yourself...

I would recommend Seafoam. Works wonders in boats with diesel engines. They will build up stuff in the tanks quicker than a truck will because of alot of dock time. Then again, after reading some of the latest posts, it seems there is some extended rot times going on out there.

I would agree with Cheri. Only the bad ever seems to get mentioned. Kinda the same with drivers. There is good out there, one just has to be patient and look.

I do find it amazing looking at the occasional EO ads, how many are the "steering wheel holders". Always feels funny explaining to someone that you make more with the 60/40 split, but they will still argue with you and say they can only do the 40 percent even though it is less money. It is...
