Yes...Drama here.. Will TJ ever get out of Laredo? Will Bruno ever come clean with the point of his questions? Stay tuned...now a word for our sponsor....:p

I don't think it would be possible with the anti-combines act...it would be a virtual monopoly...for one or the other...

Those long spells in the drivers seat...just keeps things running smoothly....:D

Close Greg..at least in my 05...takes 2 empty pallets to be able to clear the wells..so about 9"...Did this once to take a STRAIGHT truck load @ STRAIGHT rate!! :p Took a 56" wide crate...used 4 empty pallets end to end and set crate on top... Opps...I just measured..I stand...

Been in Walton 5 hrs now....may have to move!!:eek: Showered, shaved, powered my butt..ready to roll..:)

Being under the old railway act actually gives Fedex an advantage, I believe...which UPS is trying to change...

And the new 3500's gross out at 11,000 now I believe.. Log territory! Not good at a cargo van rate.... The deck you would lose the ability to double stack some automotive bins...hence lost load opportunities.... The idea is to improve your odds of getting loads...not to diminish them...forget...

Just woke up here in Walton.. did the parking lot boogie to the can and get coffee...:rolleyes:

Sorry Charles...wasn't my intent to minimize what you are... I mean apparently size does matter..they even sell it in the J now....for whatever reason..I have no idea...;)

At E-1 we get $1.00 per mile+FSC don't forget the 48" and over..you might only have 1 skid. The balance of your question comes down to. What do YOU think you are worth? and How much is a carrier going to pay you?... Call it fair market value lets say... The missing information is...HOW...

That is SWeeeeeT!....WTG!!

To that question YES.....BUT Some customers request a sprinter....so they pay

I coulda swore you said you had a preload going to Atlanta? Someones on cheap drugs here...*LOL*

No matter location..they all work off load boards from across the country...some have a few local customers of their own...

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.
