    Is 65/35 good pay for expediting

    I run 65/35 across the board. Nothing wrong with it. No need to run for cover. It's just a different way of getting paid. 65% is better than 60%. I make a couple of pennies less a mile than I would with 60+100. It evens out as I don't pay for tolls. Not to mention the guy I'm running for is one...

    Katie needs to go

    Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? The boys in the newsroom got a running bet. Get the widow on the set. We need dirty laundry. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    cabover expeditor?

    I mentioned that awhile ago, but with permanent decking that fold up and attaches to both walls. I drove a truck like that, and it's a lot more stable than using loadbars and straps; not to mention much easier. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    The important news of the day

    Imus was on Sharpton's radio program yesterday. When Sharpton stated what Imus said was racist, Imus should've responded that it was nothing the ppl on BET wouldn't say. When I heard what he said, I cracked up! My wife said she didn't find it funny. Well... he started out talking about all the...

    Making final decision to start

    That liftgate/palletjack/blanket may make up 5-10% of the loads; but when that load comes on the back end of a Cali run, sending you back to Chicago, you'll be glad you had them on the truck. Of course, money is the deciding factor. If you need to, start with the cheaper stuff and expand when...

    Making final decision to start

    Recently, I've noticed bunks (and the junk going in them) are getting heavier. Used to be a truck with a 72" bunk could haul 13,000+. Now, I'm struggling to get 12k into it. What I'm suggesting is all tied into getting your own authority. If you do, you'll want everything on the truck (within...

    Making final decision to start

    I disagree with your friend on the class-8 preference. That's class-8 straight truck, not class-8 t/t. If you were going to do local, that's one thing. A cube truck may be enough to get you some good biz. But to get all you can, a class-8 straight would be your best bet. Not to mention an engine...

    New to business

    If it has an apu, that's probably not bad. Sleeper and box manufacturer would boost or lower the value. Please take into consideration that M2s lose value quicker compared to other trucks. There's one on the classifieds now... 04 M2 with 207k on it for $40,000. And an M2106 (more like a class 8)...

    Pelosi may have commited a felony...

    I don't see anything happening anyways. Laws are laws for the common man. But ppl like Jesse Jackson and ex-Pres Carter can bypass anything they want, and not pay the consequences. -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    hi

    Bam... as time goes on, and things get busier, you'll learn the areas your company does best in. Though the Carolinas are one of the best areas for freight, sometimes it's just dead. You've gotta use your head when you decide to move. You can't just drive willy-nilly because freight got on your...

    Receipts, what do you do to keep track?

    For receipts, I use the blue money bags you can get at Wally World. One for fuel and oil changes, the other for tolls and everything else. I have a scanner/copier in the truck. If I get those reciepts, I copy em. If you don't have a copier, save em up and copy a bunch at once. -Vampire Super...

    team load, solo load, any load

    Night... great move on your part. If you're just standing in line which never seems to get shorter, you have to do something to help yourself. Let's just hope you aren't psychopathic and kill everyone in the line ahead of you :7 -Vampire Super Slooth Trucker!!!

    Hockey

    I love the playoffs when the Wings or Leafs are in it. Before and after that, I just don't get too involved. Sometimes I do like to watch Hockey Night in Canada if the Leafs are playing, just because they have the best announcers and show. Don Cherry is the shiznit! Last game coming up. Leafs...
