Thanks Dreamer .... good to be here ..... a nice active community of what seems to be good guys .... and girls ... of course I have avoided the political forum like the plauge! Ya find out a lot of things ya didn't wanna know about folks! :D

re: Turning down loads ... A lot of our, (Landstar Express America), freight, (like everyone's), comes from bid boards ... and I will refuse it if going somwhere such a Milford, Ut ... where I know I can not get freight. The half dozen, or so, agents I actully work with on a regular basis...

I love the fact I alone determine how successful I am .... there is no badgering to take freight that is not profitable. An agent calls me ... ask's if I want XX load, it pays XX and is XX miles .. has to be there at XX ... do you want it, and can you deliver on time. It matters not if it's...

Back in it's heyday it was as popular and active as expeditersonline is now, maybe even moreso. I was the administrator of the forums there and attempted early on to have them focus on this expediter thing, but never received any support from management. I see they are now "owned and...

Indianapolis .... so far I have deadheaded all the way from Kansas City ... :confused: .. I knew better than to go out there in the first place! Be careful helping others Eddie .... I hear it violates the contract of some carriers!

Dear Patron, Prior to your next check arriving, the provider class has demanded that, (you), the recipent class, submit to a hair analysis for your use of illegal drugs. Thank you kindly, Your Welfare Department.

Well, I'll be darned, it sure is just that ... good ... I'll just splice the wire and hook it up there ...

I have a thought I'd like to place an amber strobe light on my van. And I have an idea how to wire it ...... my van has the switch for the fog lights, (but it has no lights.) I thought I might wire that strobe to the headlight/foglight switch already installed ... but i cant find where the...

One answer to the puzzle as why diesel costs more is the fact that under the new ULSD parameters, the diesel fuel produced here in the US now meets world standards for emissions .. and much of it is being exported to a higher profit market! The "dirty" diesel of years gone by was not...

While I DO have my SS already in affect ... I do NOT dip into anything to support this van ... either it supports it's self or it can become a flower pot! While profitable freight is harder to find, I simply refuse to haul cheap stuff. Yea, I sit a lot.

Burial at sea: I would imagine there are two, (at least), valid reasons for it .... 1. No other country would want his remains. 2. A static burial site would have became a "shrine", and a focal point for continued problems.

Have I mentined before ... I sure do like Landstar! (Yea, probably) But as a matter of BUSINESS, I could have done as well with any of the carriers. Entering into a contract requires an understanding on both parties. I'm sure Panther has done nothing to the agreived poster here that was...

How does anyone make money, with a .95 run to Harve, Mt, knowing full well it will require a deadhead out of there? I sat in KC for 1.5 days and refused loads to Arizona, (.95 cmp), knowing would have to dh back to the east, also bid too high on a load to Milford, Ut ... same secanario. I...

I was kinda teasing about mine ..... I'm not going to get the 3500 now ... but I do believe you could solve a lot of problems for others ..... that was a professional job! So, you may have a new business!

Ok Westmicher ...... how much to do mine! :D Seriously, you did ****ed good work ... I'm impressed .... maybe a sideline business for you? After all, you did keep measurements, right!

Google that, (noneyerbusiness), on youtube .... I have a lot of trucking videos up there ... just travels 'round and about.

Speaking of cheap .. (and slow) I'm in Kansas City ... was called about a load to Milford, Ut ... (which one of you got it?). I told the agent I would do it for $1.30 to the van, (for the road trip value only!) .. as I knew there would be a lot of deadhead back out of there ..... nope ...

I resemble that remark .... I want a new category ... Sounds like an "old" joke! :D There's laws against picking on we "seniors"!, Ya know .... :p

UH .... how did one qualify to be a "Hall of Fame'r"? For my part ..... doing a job well never did require a special recognition .... success is it's own reward ....but what do I know?
