I too live in Ohio. Redytrk is right. Be sure you look at all taxes because IMHO it balances out when you look at everything. The Owner who once went by RACEMAN but due to the outcome of the Nextel Cup, am now just 6.

Thanks. It does. That would explain it at two years instead of now. Ok The Owner who once went by RACEMAN but due to the outcome of the Nextel Cup, am now just 6.

Quick one here. I just met one of truck about an hour ago to put on the new permits and give him new cab card etc. The company sent everything but a new HUT sticker. Now all the paperwork is now in the truck. I just looked through the envelope for my other truck and there is no HUT sticker in...

Just to finish up on this from a couple of things that happened to me personally and some recent info from some recent DOT interaction. I have been working on a safety program as a result of establishing DOT numbers and such as wekk as some things I have been working with a freind of mine in the...

NoProbelm is right. There are a number of things that can be put together if they happen to be checking that at a scalehouse inspection. Depending on where you are they match logbooks to scale houses distances and your company can match satelite and logbooks and BOLs. That normally just gets you...

Can you find your own freight and run with their permits? If so you can get on the internet and find some low paying stuff. It would atleast help with fuel if anything is out there. The Owner who once went by RACEMAN but due to the outcome of the Nextel Cup, am now just 6.

You should get something going out of there very quick. I am like the others and would say my trucks don't set there more than a few hours. Hell we haul furniture and hospital beds into your home area. It really does not matter what we all do or think when you are trying to get home and have no...

It would have been fantastic when I ran for TS and it is great for the folks I run with now. I am in Cincinnati. My drivers get through here all the time. As a matter of fact I will be meeting one today at 6:30 to put new permits in and on the truck. My other truck is expected Monday. It is...

Dan, Thanks for the info on the caps. That may be a good answer to my attempt to get my drivers to watch the air pressure. I have not wanted to add al the other stuff on there maybe this will be just the ticket. Sounds pretty easy. Great tip thanks. Be careful out there and Happy New Year! The...

I was talking to a driver today and his idea of success was pretty easy to get and very clear and to the point. I could not help but laugh. He simply wants to be gone all the time to stay away from his wife and make enough money to keep her. Did not care where he went as long as he went. When...

Many of you know or saw that I was looking for help to get a truck in for a valve adjustment. I have been trying for weeks. I have asked around and I have tried to do this everywhere the truck has been and even in my home town. No luck. I went to see Frank Bauer at FYDA In Cincinnati. Told him...

I was not aware of the site but I have now looked at it. You can find out some good information on here without needing any help from the folks I mentioned in my first POST. If you know a DOT person or Safety person that can really get into the site the information is much better. You can use...

I am not an owner of a Sprinter but one of my drivers looked very hard at buying a Sprinter with the sleeper. This turned out to be a very bad idea in that as it was explained to her it cut down on cargo space and therefore realy did not interest the companies she talked with. She was told and I...

I am sure everyone gets a little uneasy when they are pulling up to the scale. Am I the one? Is this my day to go around back? When we see those cars on the roads no matter how clean we are it makes you just hair nervous, if even only for a second. Well one thing to keep in mind and that is the...

All so far is good info. If you drop in Alumi Bunk in Detroit they can do it quickly and it is not that expensive. I have had it done three times there on trucks over this winter and last. It is simple to do yourself if you have the truck with you. The above directions are right on.Mine have...

Don't take anyone's word on that rebuild. Get proof of it and ask to see the bill. There was one of those babies that was traded in here in Cincinnati at FYDA Freightliner, the owner told FYDA it had been rebuilt. Well the fellow that bought it from FYDA broke down very shortly after the...

Predictions are a tough business and if people could really do it well, would they not prove it by buying winning lottery tickets or at least have a snow shovel the day of a storm if you are in the weather business.(Cincinnati News weather person joke) Oh well. I said this earlier and it did not...

A-Team, Let me start by saying this is great. I am glad to see someone make an attempt at this. Big Points to you on this post. This is very different to different people as I think you two and I have found out over past weeks. Success to me means many things. I wanted to be in this business for...

BroomPilot Your information is pretty good and attitude sounds great. I hope you don't get your head chewed off for saying those positive things. :) I agree with what you have heard and most likely read as well. I have a great first quarter planned. We will be doing some giving back type work...

NoProblem, sorry. I went back and read my post and did sound positive about the straight truck business for Jan- March. Actually I am not concerned about that period anyway but I do want to apoligize for being very misleading in that post. Although I personally am going to be very busy during...
