    Our Pending Doom

    Interesting article from Fox news. Obama's own Secretary of Treasury says this is a bad deal. White House Supports Greek Bailout Row 2, Seat 4 I bet they are doing it quietly. Sure....I am all for helping and supporting the Greeks so they can retire with 80 percent of their pay at age 53...

    Our Pending Doom

    Wonder if the goofballs in charge are learning anything by watching our current stock market and what is going on in Greece and Europe with their overspending and total lack of discipline to do anything.

    How to Hire????

    Don't be cheap. Get your own transportation attorney to do your contract. There is no contract that fills all needs. Especially since you are the carrier. I would get your basic information together and then look to move forward. You are "putting the cart before the horse". Welcome aboard.

    Did business die again?

    Very busy. Haven't noticed anything up to this point.

    Larry Brown Ticketing Truckers

    That still applies. We had a unmarked one time try to stop us and I didn't stop until a marked car showed up. We simply told them we haul government loads and don't stop unless they can be identified. I would call 911 and say you are being followed and need a confirmation it is a law enforcement...

    Larry Brown Ticketing Truckers

    There is no obligation to stop for a unmarked car. I would keep going. Story sounds like BS.

    Ta/Petro PM services

    Pretty much use Speedco. Usually have the filters and they service our generators. TA or Petro won't touch them so it requires a extra stop for that service.

    Would you still do this job if you were paid by the hour?

    Why on earth would you think you would make more money?

    Getting loads out of Lansing, Michigan

    We have done well sitting in Lansing, but oddly enough, the good runs always pick up from Detroit or over in GR.

    Would you still do this job if you were paid by the hour?

    Wll turn into a "the do'ers doing for the can'ts". On a side not, Is Marvin the new name today, or is it still IRT?

    All state express

    It is only old if you were paid. If you are still waiting to be paid, might be somewhat relevant to the current day in waiting.

    Caterpillar claims C9 unsuitable to task

    If they say a claim is denied, make sure you are talking to a CAT rep from IL where CAT is located. Forget the rep in SLC and the FLT dealer. I would as well take it to a actual Cat dealer even if you have to tow it. You don't want FLT doing that kind of engine work. On a side note, with...

    Caterpillar claims C9 unsuitable to task

    Myself included. We only have one in our fleet now but they (Cat) has been real good with the warranty issues. Ours is a 06 9500 but has the 750K warranty. If it doesn't get resolved, Leo can send me a PM and I will give him a good go to guy for this.

    Caterpillar claims C9 unsuitable to task

    Something doesn't sound right. Who is telling you this? Caterpillar or a Caterpillar dealer? Secondly, do you have current and past oil analysis on it? Lastly, is there a different oil filtration system on it ? Heard of a few claims being denied for having a bypass system on them.

    Northeast is pretty decent except for NYC. Will go to Kennedy but that is about it unless there is a bag of gold in the city.

    Best ST box size??

    The Colonels Arogosy is the route I would go if doing this as a solo. As a team, only a maybe. When I drove with the wife had to go to the "camping machine". Have to know whether the extra freight opportunities are greater than the divorce costs.:D There is always that bigger picture.

    May Day protests coming this weekend

    Seems like a opportunity to go to the protest locations and ask for citizenship. If they are here illegally, round them up and send them back. Much easier than going to look for them. But, that might make too much sense.

    Best ST box size??

    Another one of those don't complicate the simple. The industry "standard" is 22 feet. There is a reason for that. That is the most requested size by all carriers. Any size outside of that usually has to be ordered unless they have one that somebody backed out of the deal. A 16 footer or a 3...

    Long time Lurker, First time poster

    Welcome to EO I would say on the surface you look qualified although you may need a waiver for Canada with the misdemeanor. I would look through the classifieds here at some opportunities along with studying this site for the basic ins and outs of the business. If you like what you see, then...
