    Fuel Islands Warning Signs.

    I will save you the details but let me assure you that sign is almost 100% protection for them. I would bet with enough money for the fight you may win but the sign is very good protection. Been down a very similar road and that sign holds one hell of a lot of coverage. Raceman OTR O/O

    Training a co-driver

    I, in the past ran team and hired a couple of team drivers or in my case Co driver. Not a good thing what you describe. I hired one from a driving school and the other was a buddy from Falcon. Neither lasted more than 3 months. They seem to like the "Camping" aspect of it but could not take...

    Can you rebuild a Cat 3126

    I use Ohio CAT in Sharonville, Ohio just a hair north of the Ford plant. Ask for Ralph Jennings and he will take good care of you. He sounds like he does not care but it is just his tone. He is great once you get to know him. Raceman OTR O/O

    Our Longest Run of ALL TIME

    RE: CUSTOMS RE: Our Longest Run of ALL TIME Team thanks for your answer. I too own my own truck and take care of it but I ask the question because some breakdowns require help. I was really asking what FECC does when you are not under load. Many companies don't help at that point and I do mean...

    Our Longest Run of ALL TIME

    I have never been with FECC and therefore do not know much about what they offer. Being the kind of person I am I have a few questions and comment. Commenting first I would never take this run although it sounds extremelt fun as a site seeing kind of run. Return money is always in my thoughts...

    That is fine. Drop me a personal message with a number and I will call you and share my number as well. Please keep in mind what I have been doing for the year and some months is not real expediting as most describe it on here. I will go into to more detail when we talk. Good luck with your...

    It is more satin. You can polish it to a full shine if you wish. WD40 and some 600 grit and it will come right up. You can also work with Fred to have them powder coated in any color. No matter where you end up it is better than the plastic, well in my opinion anyway. Raceman OTR O/O

    A few cool items

    This thread was not meant to be a lesson in Fleet Ownership but what Broom points out about my past threads is very true and what he has added from his new found knowledge is spot on. What folks do is their business but with a site like this I think it should be very difficult for folks to go...

    A few cool items

    As many of you know almost a year and half ago I decided to stop going broke and get out of the Fleet Owner role and go after the money myself. I simply had an awful run with drivers and many of you know those stories so I will not repeat them. Since that time I got my hot little hands on a...

    Ya think this will work?

    I know the price eats everyone up emotionally and that is really where it gets to you. Turn off the TV, the radio, don't read the newspaper and any other stuff like that. Take your spare time and go to the library and really begin to educate yourself on business, and really understand what goes...

    Can you rebuild a Cat 3126

    Yeah what Dave said and I have the receipts for it all. Ohio CAT. Why buy a new c7 or C9 when a thousand here and thousand there gets some more miles. Sooner or later maybe new is the way to go but I have come to love that engine and all its receipts. Still nowhere near $11,000 in receipts and...

    Lease purchase

    Jeff, I mean this from the heart so please do not take this in a negative manner. In reading your notes it seems to me nothing works for you. Things/life/trucking is not that bad. It takes a lot of thinking and planning to get through life and very little of it comes easy. It takes a positive...

    You have a very good point. I missed that one. That is another thing that gets under my skin. What is that thing? Kennedy. Wonder what JFK would have thought of the way he has turned out Raceman OTR O/O

    If any of you are interested and can pick up am 700 WLW out of Cincinnati or XM173 tonight April 29 at 1900 Mike McConnell will be doing a good show on this topic. A very good thing to do is understand why when things are not the way you like them. I am sure this show will help some understand...

    This may be worth the effort

    dhalltoyo, thank you for your input on this topic. I was trying to make a point about this topic under the thread GAS WARS, but due to my opinion and emotion kind of blew it. There is certainly something to be said for doing a little economic research to get a better picture. I spoke to a...

    romulus based expedite co

    PTL is up that way I think and there is another one but escapes me. It was talked about on here about four months ago. Some folks that had one of my trucks was going to move to them but got out before the move. Sorry but you could search on here and most likely come up with it. Raceman OTR O/O

    Highway, Thanks for pointed out they I seemed to have back pedaled. I did not mean too. I also never meant for my example to be taken as you, me or us as gouging. I was just trying to give an example. I apoligize for my other example of putting profits with the other things you don't talk about...

    I want to say one more thing here in an effort to be sure you understand my twist. I am not saying that Expediting is not providing a premium service and that folks should not pay a higher price for that. That in fact is the case and they should. My point was that we the driver do not really do...
