RE: Before the Mexicans can drive, they need dispa If we lose our jobs it will be 100% our fault. We wait for letters/phone calls and law suits to take care of things. While we wait things just keep moving ahead. Why are Americans SOOO whimpy these days? I guess it is easier to be professional...

RE: buying freightliner with 250 hp mercedes engin Just my thoughts but I think that 250hp is too small for the work we have done. It would have to work way too hard too often. Fuel economy would be poor and the engine would wear out much faster than a larger one would. I drive a Cat c12 in a...

Mine did not include getting back to freight lanes either.

Try this one: Deliver on Sat in Zanesville OH, deadhead to New Cumberland PA for a Mon pick up. Take the load for a Tues delivery at Ft. Drum NY. The load is priced with all the bells and whistles a team can do for a load. It paid $00.95 per mile including FSC. Guess what, skipped that one...

And listen to Marda, she and her husband helped us out a ton when we started. Layoutshooter

By the way, I am a vet and I thank you for your help and support Layoutshooter

I live in Mich, the economy here sucks. I get out from home easy but most are loads from Ohio. Might move soon, no chance of things getting better for several years. What a shame. The state has SOOOO much to offer but high taxes, bad politics will kill anything. Layoutshooter

I spent 20 years with the FEDs, they suck to work for. They WILL just throw you away when the use you up. Just do your homework, be sure before you jump and if you do invest your 401k when you leave. Layoutshooter

I doubt if phone calls/letters etc will help unless there are a zillion of them. Most politians can't read anyway. If they can they are too drunk or drugged most of the time to read what mail they get. Only action will work. There are two groups of people in this country that hold the REAL...

Is that 900 every two weeks net or gross? How much do you have to pay for health/life insurance? You have to take all of that into play when looking at running your own business. We are doing better than we were in our past lifes, not getting rich, but no longer going broke. We love the freedom...

Thanks Phil, sounds cool. Layoutshooter

You have 8 cameras? Where are they located? Layoutshooter

I have switched to the master locks that are vinyl coated and have a plug over the key hole. Have not had a problem since. I always take them off when I get the truck washed. I clean them often. I bought them at Lowes. They came in a 2 pack for $30.00. I like having two locks keyed the same. GO...

We are up over this time last year and have taken a little more time off. Sure hope this can keep up. Layoutshooter

RE: Handling requirements for pharmaceutical exped WE run a lot of those kinds of runs and we are not a reefer. We are a team and all our runs require team operations. Layoutshooter

Check your oil and see if it is showing up in it. I had a problem like your talking about. It took us quite awhile to find it. There was fluid leaking from a loose hose clamp. It only leaked when the truck was shut down and cooling off. It did not leak every time we shut down either. We found it...

Who would have to pay that ticket? The driver or the owner of the truck? Seems that would be unfair to a person/team that drives another persons truck. We had problems in Canada but skated by without a ticket. Layoutshooter

I am in Hesperia now. Hope you are still around. I am at the Pilot. Parked near the building. We most likely will sit here the night. Not expecting a run being #3 of 3. Layoutshooter

Where does everyone park when they layover in LA? Seems like all the trucks stops are too far out. Most seem to put you into Ontario when you try to check in. layoutshooter

You guys still sittin in Hespera? We are thinking of heading down that way. Were given LA as a layover from Las Vegas. Hope we didn't screw up taking it. Layoutshooter
