I ran two runs to Brooklyn in the last couple of months. I think I need my head checked. One was a "quickie" run, less than 150 mi and paid really good, except that it took almost 9 hours due to the traffic, bad routing etc. Not good. The other dropped off at a building construction site...

I had 3 friends of the family killed in a truck using a propane heater for heat. They were camping the night before opening day of trout season in PA. They did not have a C02 detector. The heater they were using was not a modern one designed to shut off on low 02 levels. Even so, I doubt if I...

GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!! GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE WIN AT LEAST ONE MORE LION!!!!!!!!!!! Layoutshooter

I don't know when I became an expert in this but I wish I was. Then I would not screw up as much as I do. HEHEHE. I agree that NET is the answer. What you need to make is also determined by you overall financial situation. The net off of 160K could be big for a team that was used to making much...

If you are serious about this business, start now. It makes little difference when the high and low seasons are. If it is slow you will have a time to break in. If it stays as busy as we have been the last 6 weeks or so you will get broke in!!!! January was our best month last year. The only...

We are at the TA on I90 Hampshire IL. It is about 20 west of Elk Grove. Kinda quiet here, large lot, not even close to full. Not at lot of choices for food etc. but as far as truck stops it's not bad. Fairly good internet if you park close to the antenna. Layoutshooter

RE: FedEx National VS FXCC RE:work with fdcc One thing for sure, the only thing that never changes is the fact the everthing changes. Wall Street knows nothing about truking, just as they know nothing about sporting goods. It might get rough for a year or so, but, those who are willing to work...

RE: FedEx National VS FXCC RE:work with fdcc And, in case the other guys are reading this: It is possible for Fedex, or any other company, to get it's "clock cleaning"y an upstart who has the "right" work ethic and respects those who do the job for them. WE have to remember, WE are the force...

RE: FedEx National VS FXCC RE:work with fdcc Ok, maybe I have been lucky but I have been busy. My per mile rate is down but they have been discounted or crummy loads. Last month was great and this month has not slowed down. YET. Let's hope it stays that way. Layoutshooter

Will give it a shot. It is driving both my truck owner and myself nuts. Layoutshooter

Here is one for someone that knows engines better than I do. (that would be most people alive or ones that lived in the past or will live in the future.) I have a weird coolant leak. It only leaks when the engine is cooling down. It does not always leak. It can go as long as 6 weeks in between...

The parking pad cost me $1200.00

That idea will not work during many of the winters. Too much ice. Lake Eire can get very bad in winter storms too, the boats would most likely have to stay in port on the worst days. Yes, it is a lake, yes it is a short run. I know that. BUT, Lake Erie has a long history of eating boats of all...

What about the parking pad I had put in at the house? Cost me a pretty penny and the only reason it was put in was to park my truck. Layoutshooter

Well that sucks, I wanted just one thing to work right. OH WAIT!!! My Benelli SBE works right, so does my duck boat and most of my hunting gear and fishing tackle. Guess I must be in he wrong business. LOL HEHEHEHE!!!! Layoutshooter

Phil is right, we have had to dead head a long way a couple of times to cover loads but is has been worth it. We have lucked out on a couple as well. One we picked up in the afternoon at the same place we delivered that morning. 0 deadhead miles, cool eh? We got a run for tomorrow that was only...
