Sitting at the Pilot in 78 in Memphis. We only stopped to grab coffee and were headed down to the J in Olive Branch. We haven't stopped here in about 4 years and I was actually amazed. The parking lot is spotless, and they now have security walking the lot. We decided to stay, and I can say...
Thanks for the info on costs. Another question, does it make you nervous to carry a cylinder of propane on board? Maybe I'm being paranoid, but what if the vehicle is involved in an accident? BOOM?
The heater sounds great except for that. Our generator heat is terrible, we use one of the...
We run alot of DOD loads. I would say yes it's worth it.
I just noticed you said a "van". I'm not sure how many escort loads, if any, are being done now. We haven't had one in a very long time. I think that's what they used vans for. Someone else jump in here if I'm mistaken please
Yesteryear, Our Sept, was ok, nothing to brag about. We've had an awesome June, and Oct. Last year, was about the same, Dec, and Jan are our "killer" months. Much more sitting than running :(

Cheney might be as well, the big difference is Cheney isn't in power. Obama very well may delegate everything, but he has done that with people who answer to no one but HIM. That's power.
I think Greg is right. With McCain, the ideas are similar, but it would have moved much more slowly. Obama and this administration have pushed hard and fast, waking up the American people.
Hang on to your cash and drive for a fleet owner first. See if you like it before you drop that cash on a truck. Yes, there is money to be made, but expediting requires more sitting time and that alone drives some T/T drivers crazy.
Another issue that you may not have thought about is the...
Not that Dave needs any defending, but he's been with Panther for a long time. Instead of arguing with him, you might listen to him a little more, you could learn alot. Just sayin...
For the most part, for pick ups or deliveries, we don't cut the time so close that "traffic" back ups or...
