    Local courier companies, probably. Interstate expedite carriers, probably not.

    What size Van 1500, 2500 or 3500 is needed to safely haul a total of 2000 lbs of carpet cleaning eq?

    I'd go with a 3500 but you could probably get by with a 2500. A 3500 or 350 will get you 10 ply load range E tires and a heavier duty suspension and brakes. Is the bulk of that 2000 pounds liquids?

    Confirmation chaos

    I did read a comment concerning Bill's wife and the Supreme Court. Someone suggested that President Trump nominate Ms. Clinton for Supreme Court Justice so she could finally be thoroughly investigated.

    Pitching coach. That's funny and true.

    Confirmation chaos

    Ford's attorney Debra Katz said in a statement concerning the new FBI investigation, that while Ford "welcomes this step in the process ... no artificial limits as to time or scope should be imposed on this investigation." Sounds familiar. Just like the Special Counsel investigation into...

    That would be Ina. I've stayed there several times. The lot isn't very large but I have always found a spot. Never any bobtails.

    I like the Loves north of St. Louis off MO 370. Much quieter than the J in Pontoon Beach.

    In the Minneapolis area the top pay for LTL linehaul drivers is .66/mile. Top hourly wage is $28.37. Different areas of the country may vary.

    Why pay has fallen...

    I have a problem with the following line from the OP's linked article: Now, as a line-haul driver for XPO Logistics, one of the world's largest logistics companies, Oppelaar said he earns around $25 an hour after taxes. I'm not aware of any major LTL or TL carrier that pays linehaul drivers an...

    Why pay has fallen...

    Boiled down to it's essence any clueless moron can enter into this industry and claim the deck is stacked against them. I am afraid. Very of afraid of encountering you or one of your drivers on the road or any where in the vicinity of a low overhead.

    I hope he has shower credits

    Apparently this change took place yesterday. Probably only at the J south of the Beloit. They were running a one day special. But if you mention my name now until the end of the month, special promo code MOOT, the ½ shower credit requires a 50 gallon purchase of gasoline.

    Big Truck No Exp, new career in Straight Trucks

    My advice would be to steer clear of any company operating out of Inchville.

    //// Laws designed to screw you ?? Anything else to be aware of ? ////

    I disagree! I'm leased to Panther and buy gas at FlyingPilots. Reading all the negative news from Inchville makes me feel good about my carrier and fuel purchase decisions. How positive is that! Also, given the opportunity, I did not vote for Al (Stuart Smalley) Franken. Yeah, I feel good...

    I hope he has shower credits

    According to the not so nice lady at the J south of the Beloit, he needs to buy 25 gallons of gasoline to obtain a ½ shower credit. Of course being in prison he could get a team shower with no purchase.

    A revolving door, just like the big boys. He may make it after all.

    Cargo Van E Track Instillation

    The FMCSA cargo securement rules apply to CMVs. I believe what Terry is suggesting is for vanner's to voluntarily adopt the FMCSA rules for our safety and that of the motoring public. Not pictured in post 14 is a split bulkhead I have for extra protection from loose parts getting airborne as...

    It wouldn't be very dramatic if the reporters stood at street level with the camera crew in ankle deep water.

    Ford Transit 3.5 Oil/Filter Change

    Piper should have fun with this. A few years ago my daughter was hospitalized. In her room I noticed what she called barf bags. These looked much more practical than those shallow little trays that were once so common. A few weeks ago I bought a bag of them on Amazon thinking it would work for...
