    I'm a total noob, need help!

    I only have two thoughts on possible carriers, Ryder and CEVA Logistics .... not much expediting happens out your way ... Ever thought of moving to Tenneesee, where there are trees and stuff! :D

    Idle with no air line on compressor?

    Unless you can be assured the fan is not air acuated, or can lock it into manual "on" .. you will blow that a/c to pieces with head pressure ... As for bypassing .... just cap it ...

    How will this truck work?

    Some carriers, such as Landstar, will use the manufactuer's info to decide if is is under, or over, the listed weight. But then, of course, Landstar won't approve a driver without a CDL anyway ... so that point is moot.

    How will this truck work?

    And I think he is ordering way to much truck for the job to be done. Stick with Hino, or a FL70 Freightliner ... hell, even an Izuzu! Why poor money into a truck that simply has known name? That's like buying a Ford Epedition to commute 10 miles to work each day. :cool:

    Put me in charge

    I agree, and it is EXACTLY what we have now. No matter the "side" you take, the process is alive and well. I'm tired of living MY life the way the left wants it, I want to choose my own light bulbs, I wish to have a toilet that needs only ONE flush, I wish to have a shower head that dispenses...

    Must...obey...gps

    I went to Rushsylvania, Oh today to load for Sc ... I had never heard of the place. I turned on my TND500, and it said, "Please insert SD card" .. this version never had a SD card to begin with. Something went wrong while I was trying for the June 15 update. It wiped the memory out of the...

    Truckers are the worst tailgaters ....

    In the story, as presented, there was not a single automobile involved, just 7 stupid truckers ..... While still driving a semi, I have been known to slow down so another truck to had to pass me, because he was following to close. I have a hard time driving out the windshield, and the...

    Express 1 Buyout

    Well .. speaking for myself ... I just brought home a new 35' travel trailer yesterday. (Had to rearrange aprking so it would fit behind the house) We, can live the good life ourselves, if we plan for retirement, invest wisely and do this from a young age.

    Abandon all hope, ye who enter Laredo

    Find a dirt lot to park in, no need to sit on that asphalt! A word of caution for those of you with pets in the truck ... placing them on the parking lot to walk over to the grass may result in burns to their feet. I always carry the Min Pin I have .. I know it looks silly .... like she can't...

    TA suxxx

    Why do cargo vans park at truckstops in the first place? Unless yer looking to spin yarns with other wayward souls, there are so many other places to park. Most often much cleaner and quieter. I seldom ever park at a truckstop .. unless it is convient for some activity I wish to get...

    Must...obey...gps

    btw ... Rand McNally, TND500, was "supposed" to have a major update yesterday ... the unit still will not update. I called them, they say the server crashed due high usage. This is a major overhaul, all gps units will have one. It comes from the folks that provide the datbase for the gps...

    Cargo van tires in Toledo?

    I'll stick with Landstar's national account .. they have some of the bes prices around. My last set of tires are Firestone, I got them at Grismer Tire in Dayton.

    Abandon all hope, ye who enter Laredo

    I was offered a run yesterday from Indy to Laredo, 1600 lbs of hazmat, I balked at the rate, ($1.35), for something that would involve me logging and taking 10 hour breaks on the way down .... glad now I refused it for other reasons .... 110 degrees just isn't healthy!

    Interesting Opportunity

    Well .... appears to me ... with USX being Choo-Choo based and with this statement.... "Dedicated Lanes-Predictable utilization." One day to Detroit, with auto parts, one day back to Choo-Choo with auto parts. But as mentioned, it is just conjecture until it happens. As for a QC ...
