I have so many cubic feet available for the load...the customer fills them cubic feet...IF they want more space...then they pay...

Spoiled? *L* good one...:D Yes..in a perfect world...why should they not? A customer want to fill a certain size truck..the price SHOULD reflect the cost of operating that size.... A customer needs 30 feet PAYS for 30 feet..so a tractor shows up....there is 23 feet left over...should the...

Wrong Greg....many a time I've swapped with a tractor that had boxes in the cab....like a 10 lb box...you are assuming again.

That pretty well says it all....in a nutshell.

My rookie van was a 3/4T.gasser..made a whack of cash with it. But I think and that is just me..with the 1t extended....a little extra space for that 2 skids for your personal stuff...and you'd be more usable for heavier loads.

I suppose that is why some trucks/vans have a kill switch for the QC.....do the running around then come back and turn on again...voila..no move...I've personally seen the toggle...on/off switch.

BTW there is only about a .19 difference between sprinter rate and straights...so the carrier actually saves a penny it doesn't cost them anything to move a truck....on a move by giving them a sprinter load...

I understand Leo...dock high request..or consignee doesn't want to deal with a van...forklift can't get out in snow zones...all kinds of other reasons.

It is a long story about the owner...just say expedite isn't his first concern..other businesses going on....I personally think he's using this as a tax write off...

All things considered..I think it is really a step up...

your looking at least 12-14,000 for a factory motor...Never would I put in a rebuild..not in a sprinter.

Dodge dealer in Corsicana TX has a 2003 with about 60K for asking 20 thou...it was the part pick-up and shuttle van.

Nope...I even asked the driver where they were going....same product ..different assembly plant...that takes CV's.. The real problem there was about 8 straights piling up...and they had to move them out...without paying to DH them out. It is a perfect legit business move...but it hurts none...

Gotta love her... You see guys..this isn't embarrassing...your mate showing emotion ..you hold hands in public, you hug and kiss...why should this be any different? You should never be embarrassed when the one you care for displays emotion...you should be proud and say..That's my gal!!!:D It...

They call it business...nothing personal... BUT when you are the one sitting and you see others moving, it sure can get personal real quick...

Actually JuJU still participates very much...she will map things out...check out receivers locations..make any calls to see if they open or whatever...she deals with any and all problems I might have with E-1..She checks weather looming ahead of me....it takes a load off my mind where I can just...

When I do make it home...after a week or so...JuJu will ask very politely of course.:rolleyes: When are you going back into service, dear? *LOL*

Yeah..i would agree with that but that is NOT the way it goes... some are making .05-.08 for ALL miles IF they maintain X amount of trucks in service. I've also witnessed in my years fleet trucks getting moved with a CV load before a single operator....Do I think it is fair? NO.....BUT that...

Because most carriers have a bonus plan in place for fleet owners already...Bruno wants to be able to also lure fleets to his side...

Manager told me last night his restaurant is tentatively scheduled for closure in March..it will also be a Denny's... The big picture is ALL J's will be converted on a 2 year time table or less.... The buffet will be history!!
