    Summertime

    That CAN work. In the summer of '12 I did that. I bought cases of water from Walmart and bought a lounge chair that stretches out. But that will NOT do 100% of the time. Be ready to get a few rooms when it gets hot. CVs in Laredo, El Paso, Nogales & Dallas are convection ovens! Heck, they are...

    Probably investment cost. But I haven't looked into them so that was a guess.

    Summertime

    Yep!! I get a 3-skid (48") load in here at least once a week. I mounted my bunk to the wall and it folds down. Everything I do WILL be 100% with "space utilization" in mind. Otherwise, I'd not get about 20-25% of the loads I get. I regularly bid on, and sometimes win, Sprinter loads. But I...

    I say fire it up and see. Just keep a pair of shorts handy in case someone comes bangin' on your door.

    If you need to lose 50 pounds to get into your wedding dress, and are not a stroke candidate, yes. Otherwise, plan on a generator and a porta a/c unit. At least that's my plan. I've been piecing mine together as required. Stayed with only small rechargeable devices at first. Charged by an...

    Taking the first step

    I'm sorry, Scott. I'm just now seeing your question. No, I've never been approached by security or store personnel at Walmart, Lowes or Home Depot. I have been stated at a couple of times by security from their vehicles. Once I was circled about 6 times at a Lowe's by security but nothing came...

    60/40 split

    "Cutting out the middle man" is WAY unpopular on EO. But, as you know, working directly with several/many sources (brokers, shippers & other small carriers) is a lot more communicating work but CAN pay off. But it requires some good organizational skills.

    Oh, it's not slowing traffic too much. It's the scary kind where the crew if 3-4 just walks out in the road and slings shovel fulls into the holes. I cringe ANY time I see anything in the road. Maybe hitting a deer has messed me up.

    Yeah? It's scary how often loads are more than a little bigger than advertised. My "one skid" to Morristown turned out to be 2 skids holding 4 robots that REQUIRED long straps. They even bagged them to cut down on wobble. And I had a 2 @ 48x45x45 the other day that was actually HUGE and...
