It will be a few days for the blog post. We're busy now and heading into Canada where roaming charges apply. We stay offline then. Back to the original topic. I believe the prototype truck was built on a used Argosy chassis. I think a new one now would be built on a new cab and chassis. It is...

When I view the coach, my mind goes not to RV but to expediter straight truck; a shorter coach up front and a freight box in back. Regarding the blog piece, it disappeared without notice or explaination. I plan to repost it. Start a topic on blogging of your own if you wish. I can make my...

Not bored here. This poetic burst is an entertaining change.

Rich, Will you be writing anything about your travels and experiences? I envy the opportunity you had. It got you face to face with a number of people at a number of carriers, and with expediters on the road too. I think folks would be very intersted to hear about what you learned and observed...

Sorry we'll miss it. For the same reason we missed MATS, we'll miss the Expo; we have a truck to pay for and a goal to do so within a particular time frame. Better to run than to take time off for deadhead and show attendance. Maybe next year.

RE: Elmo We Love You But.......................... Lawrence is an accomplished promoter. With pop-up ads, e-mails, radio spots, magazine mentions and more, I think the only trucking-industry people who have not heard about the Expo reside in the cemetary.

We have had a slow first-two weeks of July. I don't think it is because of the auto industry since we haul very little automotive freight. Part of it was due, I think, to the 4th falling on a Wednesday; motivating a number of shippers to take off a long weekend or the other on either side of it...

Very interesting.

Great picture. I'd like to see the generator that powers all that.

Maybe I'm missing something. Did you say "live rats?" I read your post a couple times but don't get the live rat part. Can you help me understand?

It is interesting reading about two different towing scenarios with two different carriers. For those of us who are curious, might the authors name the carriers in question?

1. Live within your means. 2. Have a goal that you are passionate about achieving. (Works for any endeavor)

Any savings a carrier might realize by cutting agents or other costs will be passed on as lower rates to the customer or increased profits on the carrier's bottom line, or both. They will not be passed on as additional revenue to the owner-operators that haul the freight. People who have their...

Diane and I own and operate a 2006 Volvo VNL with a Volvo VE-12 435 HP engine. The cab and chassis came new from Volvo. The truck was custom built from there into a straight truck (CR-unit). Price, vendor names, complete truck specs and comments can be viewed by clicking the "Truck Photo and...

For those who may be interested, I have started a daily personal blog on my web site. See: http://www.successfulexpediters.com/Madsen/MadsenBlog.htm Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of truck drivers blog every day on various web sites. Do you blog? If so, please post a link to your blog here. I...

We are in the Northeast, predispatched to pick up a load on Thursday. Our plans for the 4th are to take a commuter train into Manhattan and spend the day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
