If you do a google search, Greg, you'll see a lot of folks were.

At one time I was busy writing for Associated Contnet, that is now called Yahoo Voices. Here is one article .. in two parts ... The Chicago Tribune Reports on Trucks and Truckers Taking a Hit in December - Yahoo! Voices - voices.yahoo.com Trucks and Truckers Take a Hit in December. Part...

From Landstar:

At the Expo I spoke with the mfg of the Ultra Maxx ..... forgot his name. If I were buying another unit, this would be my choice. The six wheel verison, derated to 10,000#'s ..... the cargo weight would be about 2500# .... the advantage would be the increased cube size. I miss a lot of loads...

Beaver Dam, Ky to Eagle Pass, Tx ... $1.59 a mile. I sat Monday and left. Now at the Pilot in Weatherford. Had one load offer yesterday to Seattle, but it didn't come through. "IF" I accept a load down there, I plan on deadheading out. It is not Panther, it is Laredo. Your experience...

If you wish it to also be below 10,000#, you have left only 3500# for cab/chassis and body ..... good luck. The Ultra Maxx list's a shipping weight as more than 7700#

Thanks for the heads up ..... and as a snicker .... if you got $18.00 .. the attorneys got $18,000,000 :eek: :D

I have no clue if the woman was wearing a seatbelt, or not. I do know that in most cases where a person is ejected, they seldom are. All I wished to do is remind people to wear them. Unsecured freight might be another cause, I was not there, I have not seen the accident report, I have no...

Same here at Landstar .... matter of fact, about Dec 21, I will be placing myself "out of service" until Janurary 28th. My wife has a retirement party the 22nd, then Christmas and New Year's, then off to Aruba for two weeks. Landstar will not challenge the time off, and will simply accur...

I have never seen the reason to lease a van from anyone when there are deals like this all over the place. Used 2008 Ford Econoline Wagon For Sale | Vandalia OH . Remove the seats, add some plywood to cover the windows, a bit of etrack and yer in business.

Good luck with your endeavor, something I never wished to try. Being leased to my present carrier is a close to "independent" as I chose to be. I don't have to solicit freight, sell freight, collect on deliquent accounts, maintain my own drug and medical program, manage a safety compliance...

Icy roads lead to fatal accident in near Floyd Seat belts do save lives ... use them.

I resolve, in 2012, after 43 years in the trucking business, I will give it up! Well, sorta, I will still dabble once and awhile, after all I neeed money for Marlboro's and my daily investment in Waffle House, Inc!

My condolences ae certainly added to the rest.

I love my van .. and who da heck wants to do 1500 mile trips anyway? I certainly have .. more than once. But I do not make it a way of business. Loads for me are usually less than 500 miles, one fuel stop, and a couple of refills of the coffee cup and a pee break. Here I sit today, in...

At Stripes, in Eagle Pass, nice fuel stop .... they have a gravel lot next to the place. Good parking for ST and semi's ... Someone get me outta here!

Once I went into Canada, for some reason the officer wanted an additional form of ID other than my passport. I handed him my CCW permit. He asked if I was carrying a gun, I responded, "No sir, but that is a valid picture ID." When he asked why I had such a permit, I told him, "I'm American...

You can use the card for ANY purchase, (like airline tickets), to get the $1,000 mimimum. Then Marathon rebates .25 on your FUEL purchases. The gift certificate can then be used for future fuel purchases. Hence ... fuel savings .... and no, you don't get more rebates on the purchases made...

Marathon Visa Card Speedway is not a part of the program ... I wish it was! I have my Super Fleet card for them ... I used to use it at Pilot, but they stopped giving cah price on Super Fleet cards.

At the J in Abilene, Texas, figured I better take a shower before I head on down to Eagle Pass, didn't seem to be much down there, according to my fantastic, (satire), Rand McNally super trucker GPS unit.
