Tom, I know this is a very tough thing to write. You and I have had our turn at the whipping POST, :) no pun intended, ok, yes there was, but you have been supportive of me in a very tough period of time and I think that showed me that you have meant well. I know it is difficult for anyone with...

You are simply having the thoughts that a lonely mind has. It is no big deal. Relax and enjoy the down time because if you are with a good company it will not belong until you will wish for down time. As for stiches, never DH 620 miles to have those removed. Once your wound is healed take them...

I want to put my 23 cents in here on the signiture line and experience. As I stated somewhere else on here, I do see a benefit to this and as I read the posts from others I see where it makes no difference. My feeling is that a lot of the business questions posted on here can be answered by...

Well I cleaned up the ground under the sleeper and still no 12 volt power. There must be another ground somewhere inside. I changed all fuses. This ticks me off so bad. It is not bad enough that I have all the crap I have had lately with mechanical problems now I got htis damn sleeper without...

Hey good luck at E1. You will love everybody there. Get to Scott and Dwayne. They are great. Tell Scott I am still trying figure out how to get him warm conys from Skyline or Gold Star. He will get it. The trucks stops are few on 31 between Indy and E1. There are a couple though. The best place...

Many of you have read my posts trying to show you real life unexpected expenses. Well here is the result of being the owner of two used trucks. Although I know the trucking business and have driven for big companies and smaller one. I have run team in one of my trucks and I have been an owner of...

Thanks for the input. I will take a look and see if that is it. I am sure it is as I have changed all the fuses. When Alumi bunk fixed them in the past they have always said it was the ground wire. Thanks. Raceman Owner Two Straight Truck. Part time driver of one of my trucks and local TT...

I need someone who has an Alumi Bunk sleeper and has had this problem to tell me where to find the wire. I have lost all my sleeper power 12 volt. Everything on the inverter works but heater, lights clock does not. I have had this happen twice between the two trucks. The have both been fixed by...

This answer is based only on my personal experience. I am not recommending any company or putting down any company. I started with Express1 and then for some personal reasons moved to Tri State and ran team and added a solo truck. Later went solo in both trucks. At that point I went back to...

I want to apoligize to a couple of Panther Cargo Van drivers. They had to do a cross dock last night and as it turns out it was right where I parked one of my trucks. I held them up for about an hour would be my guess. By the time I got dressed drove over there and got the frozen thing to start...

Wow! This is completely new to me in this business. I have been watched in others but had no idea this went on. Thanks. I had better tell my driver, he concerns me sometimes. :) Raceman Owner Two Straight Truck. Part time driver of one of my trucks and local TT. 15mon.OTR Expediting 1 yr...

I am one of the first to say experience comes from many places. Tom and I have had our bouts of disagreement and he does not always like what I say and I do not always like what he says. I was dead set against this sig line but never said a word and just fell in line. Why did I do that? In the...

Can you give a little more info? I have no idea what you are talking about. Raceman Owner Two Straight Truck. Part time driver of one of my trucks and local TT. 15mon.OTR Expediting 1 yr local Expediting Line Haul TT 2mon. OTR Straight Truck Plt to Plt off and on 5 years. Based in Cincy Ohio...

My time in a TT was for the most part a short lived job in line haul. 250 miles in one direction then vack to where I started. I will just tell you that in expediting sleep was never easy. As an owner I can tell you that the TT drivers I have hired just can not get used to it. They never seem to...

I only hit one place that wated pay for parking and that was the Detroiter in Detroit. One of my drivers also reported that as it still being true. There is a stop over in Indy where you have to pay if get on the very back. It is privatly owned. One of my drivers who is no longer with me always...

BP seems to be right on here. This is why I posted my troubles. I am in a situation that others may not be and that is why I have tried to show what a blow this can be. Having both trucks go down is very expensive in repairs but that gets realy expensive when you also have no income while they...

As you know if you have followed my problems one truck just hit the road Friday with a new tranny. He loaded out of Indy into Chicago. Spent the night there and picked up at 1:00 in Chicago going to Alabama. I am sure he is hoping for a little better weather going in there then he had in...

I think Tw is right on with his comments. Although the folks I listed could help you with the trucks I listed, you could encounter the problems TW lists with these small trucks. The folks at Tri State that I list above can help you and most likely recommend something much better than one of...

Your description of the first night out of oreintation is about how felt that same night. It is too late once you buy. All you can do is feel sick. I have not driven much since April as I hired drivers. Thanks to some bigtime recent expenses I guess I am going back in one of them to earn some...
