    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Emptied yesterday about 3pm. Hot in Charleston and it doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. As for the other recent commentary...for drivers, everyone seems to have thin skin and this site is more G rated than even PG or PG13.

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Had a pretty good load yesterday, Independence, KY to Savannah, GA but when I got to pickup at 3pm they said it wouldn't be ready until this morning. Instead of paying me to layover, they did a dry run which made me think they would try to rebook it with someone cheaper. Well it's 45 mins past...

    The Expo 2016 is over my friends

    I originally intended to be there but was a choice between taking my daughter to NY/NJ and spend time on a boat out on the Hudson near Newburgh, or go to expo. As I had not taken much time off since Feb, I figured be a good break to get away from expedite things. I did miss being there but...

    Why'd July to dispatch ??

    Well, moved to Laredo from McAllen for a load that was supposed to cross Friday, still waiting on the shipper to send invoice to the broker, load has been at the border since Thursday night. So tell me again why this freight is expedite? Oh I know why, they take so much time screwing off with it...

    Starter Rig - Build Or Buy? (Straight Truck)

    I am not partial to the rental trucks. Buy a relatively newer sprinter/transit/promaster. Also have enough money to run for 4 to 6 months so that way you can be broke in a yr instead of 3 months. Without learning this industry driving for a fleet owner, odds are against you with learning curve...

    How many miles on your Promaster

    2 reasons I stayed away from the diesel was the automated manual transmission and the def/dpf issues.
