Just curious. What impact on California runs and price, if any, have you seen since the new CARB rules went into effect on Jan 1?

I do not know what the lifetime fuel average is. The truck gets between 9 and 10 mpg, sometimes more, depending on speed, wind and terrain (and altitude, outside air temp and a host of other factors if you want to get technical). About the equipment. The truck cab and sleeper and toolboxes...

P.S. Winter is why profanity was invented.

Our truck has been home in Minnesota with us for a month for Christmas and work on our new business. This last week has been brutal. If the outside temperature went above zero, it was not there for long. It got as low as 22 below. That is very hard on a truck. Doors creak, a tug on the hood...

One more thing to add; our dealer mentioned yesterday that he can help people with financing if financing is needed. We will not be putting a driver in the truck or renting it to somebody or selling it on a contract. It is a quick, clean sale that we seek.

I should add, we're not going to be stupid about the sale price. Naturally, we'd like to get the highest price possible, but it's a truck, not our feelings about it that we are selling. Our dealer is working up a ballpark range now. He will be our guide. The truck will likely sell for its...

A number of EO readers have asked to be notified when our truck will be for sale. Thus this post. Your requests are hereby fulfilled. We planned to sell it after our first fitness club was up and running, a few months from now. The idea was to keep the truck as our Plan B if the gym business...

While several people have expressed interest, we do not have a buyer yet as it is too early to sell. We want to get the club up and running first and then sell the truck. That will take 2 to 3 months at least. Price-wise, we of course want to get the best price that the market will bear. All we...

That club closed. We picked up the territory when it did.

Wow! What an ordeal! I'm sorry you are in these circumstances. Your work ethic and sense of responsibility comes through loud and clear in your post. If you do drive again, your next fleet owner should be glad to have you.

Early in this thread I promised to provide gym location info once a lease was signed. To fulfill that promise I am providing this link to our newly established Port Orange Anytime Fitness Facebook page. The address and phone number are there and gym details will be posted on an ongoing basis...

There is something to that. There have been Expos before and after the "shorts Expo," but I know of no single Expo event, exhibit or feature that has been more recollected and persistent than the shorts.

So at next year's Expo, you'll be wearing Spandex?

The info (link) Layoutshooter provides about this ME program is interesting. It appears in this piece that the FMCSA is telling doctors that drivers "In team operation, drivers share the driving by alternating 5-hour driving periods with 5-hour rest periods." That was...

A major winter storm is hitting much of the country as I write this. That is nothing new to expediters who have been out here for a while. This post is for newer expediters and expediter wannabees who might think it important to get that expedited load through no matter what. The truth is...

Well, it took longer than expected but we finally have a lease for space in which to build our first gym. Construction will begin soon. The doors will open two to three months after construction begins. Location: Port Orange, Florida. We just got the news this evening. Details to follow as...

Diane and I recently toured the factory in which the gym equipment we will purchase is built. All welding there is done by machine. They have people working there who they call welders and who went to school for welding. Their job is to maintain the machines.

Perhaps, but in most cases, the cases are settled long before they get to a jury trial.

So far, the only time a Google car has been in an accident of any kind was one time when the human driver was in control. Yes, we can speculate that a robot truck will one day be in an accident and it may even be ruled as preventable. But human truck drivers are in preventable accidents every...
