RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening LOL, if it's luck it's the first time in our lives so I guess it's due. Our last run was 1900mi and this one is 2500. Not our norms but we did not say no. Most runs are around 750 to 1000 mi range. Layoutshooter.

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening What slowdown? We are having our best month since we started in the business 2.5 years ago. We have had to go out of service twice this month to sleep. Too tired to be safe. I don't know what is bad or good to who, BUT, we are making money and...

Hey Greg, What charity? Our did I miss it? Layoutshooter

Hey Greg, We are a LLC in Michigan. Our tax guy advised this BEFORE we even bought a truck. We were still running for an owner. It's very easy in Mich to do a LLC. Can be done online in about 20 minutes and at very little cost. Layoutshooter

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower We are not sure about the reefer ever paying for itself, but then, we have only had it for a little over 2 months. We will make the choice on our next truck based on what happens with this one. FedEx pays %61 to reefer trucks on every load and...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Many types of explosive/chemical loads cannot be put on a reefer truck. Also, most, not all, reefer trucks have smaller inside dementions than do other trucks of the same size. THis is due to the type of insulation used on most reefer boxes...

Hey Jack-Berry, I was not speaking of you. I was speaking of Congressman John Dingell, Dem, from SE MI, Detroit/Monroe/Ann Arbor area. I forget the district # right now, must be part timers. Wants to raise the gas tax and do a bunch of other things to *fight global warming.* Yea right, like...

You tell um Greg, bet the Gov is on thier side, more pay, more taxes. That is till the whole place falls apart. Did you see Dingell-Berry's plan to raise the gas tax by $.50? What a great idea. If the gas price at $3 was too high and it was Bush's fault how is $3.50 ok if a Dem comes up with the...

I like the radioactive bugs!!!! Where can I buy some? Do they glow brighter than headlights? MMMM a real money saver!!! HEHEHE Layoutshooter

If you need chains park should be the rule. I will NEVER chain up to drive into bad weather. I might chain up to get out if I cannot find a safe place to park. To be really effective you need them on the steers as well. No use having increased drive/braking traction if you can't steer the beast...
