    Seems to me that a whole lotta people have WAY too much time on their hands. Maybe they should get a REAL job! :p

    IF you chose a smaller carrier...

    Most of our weekend runs tend to be "dirty freight" auto stuff, factory stuff etc. They seldom pay what a good reefer load pays. They often don't pay enough to start the truck. VERY little of our GOOD stuff picks up or delivers on weekends. I attribute that to the fact that most of the...

    IF you chose a smaller carrier...

    Speaking in general, MOST of the loads we see on weekend tend to be low paying, often van loads. It is rare to get the types of loads that we get on weekdays. I can count on one hand the number of really GOOD loads we have been offered this year so far. Example: We JUST went back in service at...

    IF you chose a smaller carrier...

    It depends. We have logs and limits on hours we can work in a week. IF we are forced to do resets I prefer to do them on weekends when there is a lessor chance of freight than on weekdays. Also, as far as our truck goes, the few loads we have been offered on weekends tend to be low paying loads...

    I guess that would depend some what on how much you can make Monday thru Friday.

    APU unit question

    It acts as an engine warmer. Some prefer that to engine block heaters. One less radiator to leak and maintain. I don't like it. I have had too many problems due to leaks. To each his own.

    I can teach you the flyfishing part, that is EASY to learn! I only want enough time and money to allow me to stay out on the River.

    APU unit question

    There are advantages and disadvantages to being plumbed into the truck. It is a personal choice as to which problems a person wants. The Honda is gas. That is a second fuel supply that needs to be carried. Also my APU will come on by itself when the batteries get too low. The Honda won't. In the...

    Stupid or Dangerous?

    All part of ignoring reality. "Everything is beautiful, in it's own way" "Kumbia ...." The Soviets were/are REALLY good and the 20 million they killed and the millions more they are going to kill were bad.

    Has carb sniffed your tail pipe yet?

    I only run to CA for rates that are far above the norm for others areas of the country. There are, however, many loads offered at rates that no one should be accepting anywhere that are being accepted and taken to CA.

    Stupid or Dangerous?

    Not much of a comment except this: Canada was about as absent during the "Cold War" as the United States was at the beginning of WWII.

    Stupid or Dangerous?

    IF and WHEN you finish a history of the so-called "Cold War" feel free to call me. Compromise, in my prior and present world, is a sign of no convictions. One either believes in what believes in, or they don't. One either has the courage of one's convictions or they don't. There is NO in...
