RE: is there a good backhaul website for expeditor Yeah I hear you. Number one I missed the fact that you are talking about a Cargo Van. Number two is all in all these sites are almost useless unless you can get more than one order as part of the run. In other words you get two or three orders...

RE: RE%3A An Update I guess I should thank the Good Lord you did not post any of my other photo journalism. I think the term for those who may not have the best business plan in mind, should be " Serving Apple Juice is in your future" Ha! We are killing each other Raceman OTR O/O

RE: is there a good backhaul website for expeditor This is another topic where there are many lines of thought and rarely do we agree. If you use this sites enough, and by that I mean study them, watch them, you get a good feel for what is out there and if you check the lanes on the sites you...

RE: New Guy with Class 8 Straight truck Please HEL If you run team you will do very well with any of the Big Boys in this business. This is the best approach as Teams do get the long runs. I love that you are doing a stretch and to the best of my knowledge all that you mention or question...

X, As you know based upon my photo stories sent to you on a regular if not daily basis, White Castle Fields Ertel Road in Mason Ohio is now serving Apple Juice. As for the Coneys Microsoft S&Ts will put you right in the proper parking lot and that is NO JOKE! Raceman OTR O/O

Well last week my dedicated run was put on hold because it was shut down. You know the Automotive shut down. In any case I ran OTR while down. So I took the time to really use my GPS programs. If you all recall I have both Microsoft Streets and Trips and CoPilot Truck. All of my runs were to...

Sorry to hear you got blasted. I must have missed it or forgot it. I know how you feel though. I got ripped a brand new one on here once and never have really figured out why. I did though, like you have, realized not to take it personal. Good Luck and keep on keep n on Raceman OTR O/O

Boy oh boy would I love to write a six to seven page response to this. I will simply give you a very short one. Run Team and go with one of the big boys if you are buying a new truck. I would also give some thought, if you plan on solo for a while, get a used truck and use BroomPilots idea...

BP, I feel your pain on this subject but let me tell you, there are more drinking drivers in trucks than you may think. I turned one in about a month ago on I75 at 675. I also have worked for an LTL company here in town that had two in one year. recently I was loading, last week and was talking...

I have been able to get loads verywhere I have been including my current carrier. They do take a percentage of your income though. I think this is a neccessary thing. My God this running around empty everywhere some percentage of the time is of no good to drivers. I understand the carrier wants...

I sure do like that wheel Gibster. Do you have to order it? I will never drive white Glove so drop me a personal note telling me how to find a cool wheel like that. I think you mentioned something to me before but how about another note. Sorry Leo, I had to screw up the thread but I love that...

Flame, If you mailed it to them I hope you got a signiture and if so this should be pretty easy. Simply call your credit card company and tell them what happened and give them the proof, what ever that is and they will get it taken care of. This is true unless I am missing something or if this...

Thanks Rex, I will check that out. This is a relatively new clutch and tranny. I have been through this before and when it is finally adjusted right there is no problem. The last time I went through this a guy in a scuz pit well into Indiana fixed it. That was another truck same problem. As...

Hey Flame, just went throught the door thing after ripping one off out there at the plant where I met you. Any triler supply Truck and Trailer place can hook you up. I looked at the doors you are wanting. They will be on my truck as soon as I can make time and afford them. Cost does not vary...

I will simply say "Oh GOD!" Do everything you can do to just buy a truck or go run for an owner until you can. Raceman OTR O/O

To follow up on what BP has mentioned, YES! Yes an owner can get in to some very expensive bills if that dog bits someone. One of my drivers, back when I thought being a fleet owner was a good idea, had a cat in the truck. A worker, at a drop site, stuck his arm in the truck to pet the cat...

Let me commend you on getting started. More importantly let me say, all the business plan talk on here and you laid it out better than anyone else. Damn it driver! I got a good laugh outta that. Best of luck to ya! Let me give you some big advice. It aint that big a deal. You will either...

There are many drop sites that will not allow a truck on site with a pet. A dog that size will not be let in. You can solve that by staying outside the gate with the dog and have your husband go on in. With your husbands experience you will be fine getting on with a company. The dog of that...

Hawk, glad to hear it somewhat working in your favor. What are you driving now? BP set ya up? Come on man spill the beans or go watch football. Oh thats right You are a SeaHawk fan. Never mind. :) Raceman OTR O/O

X, I think you are most likely right on. I had a MotorHome which I bought new and it went to the shop after every trip for something. I have not continued to buy, I am stuck with. I doubt I will ever go back there though. I could not believe This door had hinges that could not be replaced with...
