    That's what I was wondering .... I very rarely ever have to wait more than 24 hours before being dispatched while at home, after returning to service. Haven't picked up in Salem lately - but BAP (Blackhawk Automotive Plastics) was, I believe, the largest customer of the carrier I was leased...

    starting up, looking for drivers, questions

    BTW, you mentioned that you and your partner are "young professionals" ..... I dunno precisely what that means - and I'm not asking really - but is this venture something you are planning on doing whilst pursuing another profession full-time, regularly ? (ie. on a daily basis) Cause if that's...

    starting up, looking for drivers, questions

    Only two ? I must have a real active imagination ...... :rolleyes: See ConfusedMuse's reply for starters ..... But I'm sure that's only one of many possible "worst-case" scenarios .... BTW, I'm not a fleet owner (although I have considered it) - I just own/drive a cargo van - and so...

    Don't do it. Seriously, don't do it. Obviously .... but don't do it. Sure - they absolutely can - but the point is that one should survive the learning process ..... so as to have a future potential to apply lessons learned, the knowledge gained .... :D ..... which is the very...

    Sorry but I'm gonna be blunt here (as usual): BIG STRIKE ONE Your invaluable asset may, in actuality, a very hidden liability (albeit unbeknownst to you) Have you actually looked at this guys books ? If so, in detail ? How sure are you about how well he's really doing ? Sadly, there...

    Sounds to me like that is what the idtrans is doing - otherwise what's up with he himself bidding on loads ? Sounds like he is a "partner" carrier ....

    2k to 3000mi a weak lease

    Brisco (County Jr.) ....... Not even close there really ..... But ....... you might want to look at my original post to you - which contained absolutely no rancor or derision - and consider how you responded to that ..... and then see if it applies personally ...... :rolleyes:

    2k to 3000mi a weak lease

    Well then you must never have seen boxed & palletized plastic automotive trim panels .... I had one load I hauled in my Sprinter which was 6 pallets (at least) - we broke them down at the shipper and crammed it all in .... up to the ceiling .... and then stuck the pallets in on the sides...

    Banning "violent" video games for children

    Has nothing to do with it ..... Well .... yes, it does ..... The only restrictions on speech have been placed there by the courts ..... That may be true - however the document says what it says - and it doesn't say: "or abridging the freedom of political speech ..." The Founders were very...

    Those Dumb Racist Okies.....

    Nah ...... religion itself ain't inherently bad ..... the problem happens when idiots get ahold of it, and comes from what they do with it ..... Therefore, what we should outlaw is idiocy ..... Would probably depopulate the US by at least 50% ... :rolleyes:

    Sprinter conversions
