I was able to fix it, was a spring ride (my truck has hydraulic brakes) there was 2 bolts that hold a rod that the springs attach to, one of them broke off, once I pulled it all apart and extracted the old one, put 2 new ones in and it was good to go. You don't know how much those springs do...

I feel your pain on the rates and lack of loads, they just can't bid them low enough to get anything off the load boards. I delivered in New Jersey Monday morning, had to deadhead back to Cleveland because my seat broke, and have not had anything since. I think I am going to park my truck and...

I figured it was you, not too many sprinters around here with Alaska license plates. I walked out front about 1 or so to fill my gas can for my generator. I didn't want to leave my truck running and after moving to Florida a couple of years ago I was shivering, and it's not even that cold..... Yet

Is that you in front of the pilot in brecksville?

They are just jealous because they didn't get their tickets for the opening day......

I just getting over my last experience at McCormick place, thanks for bringing it up again, will fume over it some more....

Ahh yes another advantage of having a liftgate, nothing for a dock lock to attach too.....

I think he was talking about the one who wrote that article. Apparently geography isn't a requirement for a journalism degree.

I figured you were adding another truck since ovm was a part timer.....

Well, I have been in service since Tuesday, and they have only bid on 3 loads, so now I am going to fire up the old hoopty and head back to Ohio, another 1100 deadhead miles.... Hopefully it will pick up and the next 2 weeks will be better.... PS Sorry for all the whining lately.......

Im glad there are good people out there in this industry, and that there are some people who can still make money. I was just running some numbers on a load I did from Michigan to Florida, 987 miles $1328 linehaul pay, 1.34 a mile, plus $50 for waiting time, and 17.50 for lift gate charge. If I...

Wait, Kraft? how can you afford the good stuff?????

That's great for you and your children that the money was there to be able to afford private schools, but what do you think our country would look like if there were no public schools? Don't get me wrong, our system isn't perfect, but its much better than the alternative.

Well, its not like we did a lot of loads for this carrier, but if we did screw up a load for them, I would know it, I spend way too much time chilling in the office waiting for loads...... I don't know how to explain what I think is going on without naming names, but a certain agent used to...

Well, I found out today that this company did block us, and they are not sure why. If we screwed up loads for them I would totally understand, but I think this has to do with a 3rd party, who is really starting to tick me off. I might have to make a change here soon but unfortunately my truck...

Ok, I have a question for you iceroadtruker, in your post you said this: While the stinking Rich line there Pockets, The Bean Counters get hired to come up with creative ways to cut cost. Which Put it all in to Perspective Companies are dividing up work in a Socialistic way Stating how much one...

Well figured out something today, I like to check the sylectus available vehicle board to see how many vehicles are in my area and also check to make sure I am posted correctly. If the carrier that has the vehicle availability link posted has your company blocked you won't see yourself posted...

OMG you are such a racist!!!!! But I agree with you, it's their culture.

The guy that killed the firefighters in Philadelphia is the best example of that, his niece bought the gun for him if I remember???? There were supposed to be charges against her, but not sure if they ever did.

Did that a couple of months ago in my minivan when I stopped at the mailbox, I don't think I have ever ran that fast in my entire life. I did get in and hit the brake before it hit anything but I make sure it's in park now.....
