    Which run would you take?

    Well see, I don't drive a van. I drive a straight truck. :p Now, driving cheap but not if it's going to end the driver or the truck owner in the neg. That is not a cheap load. What I am saying is as long as both we and the truck owner are making profit then it is better then sitting and doing...

    Which run would you take?

    No, I am taking it into consideration 60mph! See where I put "wear and tear on van". Now, I don't know about your carrier but in the 2 years we have been with Tri-State we have gotten a week-end load twice. That equals one per year, so that means I have a 1 in 365 chance of getting a load...

    Where to park

    Have to agree Ron, the guy was just trying to ruin the posters day. There are some people that thrive on 'hissy fits'. Think! The first few weeks are the 'honey moon'. If this driver is throwing 'hissy fits' the very first week what it is going to be like partnering with this person once the...

    Where to park

    I have to agree with Crazynuff! We take our truck to many different places. Malls, Walmart, Chinese restaurants, Unos, ect. There is no law saying we can only go to 'truck-stops'! We straight trucks have the same rights as any other vehicle as long as we aren't blocking or impeding traffic. Is...

    Hahahahaha!!!

    :eek: Unbelievable! I was looking on the load boards also and that is what I was seeing. How does a shipper expect to ship, for instance, 5000 pds of freight - over-night for a couple hundred dollars! Makes ya want to tell them to call the post office and see if they will do it for that...
