    Decisions,Decisions??

    We drive a D TVal S/T. The majority of the loads that we take are C TVal. We are not slow. We have been keeping running. We rarely take a surface expedite load, unless it relocates us to a better express center. ====================================== What is the point in talking about it if...

    International COE with landstar?

    This is probably close. Not bad for 10k. A little tinkering and this would be a decent freight hauler complete with a back porch. 1994 FREIGHTLINER FLB11064ST Cabover Truck w/ Sleeper For Sale At TruckPaper.com

    EO University Workshop 2010 Expo Workshops

    Between 4 and 7 I am likely having a cold one with most of the vendors. Because it is a transient type show (people arriving and leaving at different times), I would do the workshops right through the day like they have been. You could add as many as you wanted to and then folks can attend what...

    Virtual Terminals

    On the positive side, at least they stopped where they are at rather than proceeding with a unworkable plan.

    Reefer

    The reefer debate still goes on. I would have to agree with Greg on this one. I don't think things have changed that much except for the new carb laws. That might effect the purchase of a used unit because it will soon have a limited function without a costly upgrade. When we had them, many of...

    The Recession is Over! Now What?

    350k miles Blown Head Gasket

    Possibly. We have a 06 Sterling that is well in the 400 plus range and they were selling them then. But to be fair, we have had a blown ac unit, blown clutch fan, and a popped injector in that time. Part was covered under warranty and part wasn't. I quess I still question their ability in a...

    Virtual Terminals

    Forget about terminals. They are as goofy now as when the idea came up. Go where the freight is and forget about board position, first outs, or any of the other terminal items. They are coming out with a new web site August 10th for the customers. May be of use to the driver? Not sure and...

    350k miles Blown Head Gasket

    You can check the used truck market, but I can't say I have seen a used Hiny with 350k plus on it and not have a replaced motor. Could be a first time though.

    The Recession is Over! Now What?

    I don't believe I would rush out and buy a $200,000 reefer unit.

    Automatic Tire Chains

    I would agree with Phil on this one. :eek: We carry them, but haven't used them in the last several years. If the waether is that bad, we go to something else. Too much risk out west of them closing the road down and getting stuck waiting.

    Freight in Florida

    They do. Better chances if you can do government loads, or know how to broker yourself out if you are sitting too long.

    Sleepers

    I would say factory jobs are the best. ARI and ICT are fairly simular. The highest milage truck we had with one was a KW with 800K. Only repairs was a leaking boot, fridge compressor, and numerous light bulbs. So not too bad. Several Bentz's and so-so on the wiring. Blew a ac unit on a...

    Dear Keeshond0622.... (Locked Thread)

    Re: Dear Keeshond0622.... Member Keeshond0622 is going on a vacation for awhile. I was going to remove this thread, but decided to leave it since DD did a great job of exposure. No one here is impressed by a member coming on here and soliciting money for a travel trip. That is likely the same...

    Sterling, Hino, M2 or C112 straight truck

    Got a truckpaper ad in the mail today. A list of Hino's all in the 30K and under range for 07 and 08's. I believe that should answer your question with regards to Hino. Class 8 are the way to go or a class 7 that uses class 8 parts. The only ones in the catagory are the KW's and Petes.

    Expedite Expo Expedite Expo 2009 Photos

    Maybe for a motorcycle, or moving apartments when he can't get loaded. Outside of that I would see little use. If it is for the cycle, would have done better buying the full blown toy hauler and leave the freight on the dock.

    Will you Step up?

    Maybe you have heard of the old saying "delivery is everything"? A two dollar donation isn't your biggest obstacle. You would have been better served by coming on and asking for ideas and contributing thoughts PRIOR to soliciting money. Then your cause would have likely gained a little more...

    Will you Step up?

    Hold on their padre. Just who do you think you are? You come on here wanting a handout, and then trash the very people you are trying to solicit money from for a cause that will change very little. You wanted to know where to go? Washington where the bill will be voted on. Already mentioned...
