    Eleven Million $

    I have a back up beeper on mine....it came with it...BUT it doesn't replace my responsibility to make sure the rear is clear and no one is approaching from either side...it is just another tool.... next thing they'll be mandating is braking devices for when one is tailgating...where does it stop?

    Reminder: Reward Yourself!

    For those who get them great fuel discounts....I'll not support the giveaway by paying the highest priced diesel in the land...without discounts TA/Petro are pretty much the most expensive chain out there.....the poor guys without a discount plan are subsidizing the ones that do...IMO

    Thank you.... Zorry as you know most of us are O/O's....competing against others for freight, for work...just because we are with the same carrier doesn't mean we all have the same Cost Per Mile...hence different abilities to run at different rates....we are not a union nor a collective but a...

    Reminder: Reward Yourself!

    vanners just want to be respected as professional drivers as much as anyone.....just because we don't log or scale....doesn't take away the fact we literally do the same work as the big trucks and share the same roads....and all want to get home safely.

    I've never gave a blank check to the "Say No" mantra. Cheap freight is in the eye of the beholder. I don't know about anyone else but I run as I see fit....that suits me... If Joe Shmoe wants to run for cheap....well that is the way it goes
