Recently we showed up at a security gate for a customer we regularly service. The security personel (officers) are not employees of the customer. We have been cleared through this gate many times without issue. On this particular delivery we were met with a different scenario unlike in the...

I have come up with a business plan for the future based on the upcoming 2010 emmissions regs, etc. This could catch on! When our truck is no longer compliant, rather than spend 9-10K extra on the purchase of a new compliant truck, I'm gonna pull our perfectly good ARI sleeper and Onan genset...

We to had the pleasure of meeting Nick (The Enemy) and his wife around the first of June at the Flying J in Temple,GA. They had seen our truck and private messaged us regarding a project of his which involves our rig. He wanted permission to take a series of photos of our custom truck as part of...

Good evening from Miami! Yep, still here for the night. Took advantage of some free time today and bobtailed to my old stomping grounds as a kid. Fort Lauderdale Beach, FL. Spent a lot of time there swimming, sailing and fishing. Those were the good old days! You can bet seeing our big old house...

Gooood morning from Miami!!! We woke up to this beautiful sun rise this morning. Note the Miami International Tower. We arrived last night from AR with a load of three Rolls Royce RB-211 jet engine stands. The two white ones are brand new and the yellow one is an old version of the same...

At Danny's Truck Resort in Phoenix,AZ. Temp got up to 118 degrees according to our very accurate outside thermometer. We un-hook and moved to the canopy area for shade (we're to long with our trailer) hoping it would be cooler. Only dropped down to115 degrees in the shade. Generators are failing...

Wished we had known you were in Houston Steve. We were in Dallas after delivering an engine yesterday and then got shot to Houston today to pick up an engine at the airport. We're taking it to LAX but does'nt have to deliver until Monday morning. We would have treated you two to dinner and...

If in the cab area we are usually seated either in the office chair or the cab seats thus not requiring the need for the ability to standup in the cab area. Yet we do enjoy having the headroom to do so. I think its a plus and good selling point. For those that do DDPS,etc which requires a...

That in part is true. But with a well engineered truck such as our KW T-600, you can get a "large" boot opening and not be forced to bend over to pass from the cab to sleeper area and visa-versa. Case in point: Take Ateam's 132" ARI Legacy sleeper (which is a nice build for their needs) with...

Another thing you may wish to consider is if you sell the truck for what ever reason, will the remaining warranty time left on the sleeper be transferable to the new owner? Think about it a minute. The truck manufacturer's warranty including extended warranties stay with the vehicle...

Wow! Fine italian leather you say? In this economy I can't even afford a cheap pair of Walmart underwear so I just go with out! Just kidding folks. don't go getting your panties in a wad! :p

If my comment on this subject provoked any part of this response on your part, this was not my intent. Rather it was to ask if FECC was changing the rules regarding this. In our five years leased to FECC this was not allowed on ANY unit to our knowledge (according to recruiting and WG)...

I thought that FECC does not allow side doors on the box for security reasons (drug loads,etc). At least that's what I was told when shopping for a reefer trailer to lease on. The truck in the first photo of this thread clearly does. Appearently that no longer holds true?

Thanks for the compliment! We take a lot of pride in our work. Actually that was one of our sloppier tarp jobs on an engine. All eight of our tarps are custom made for aviation freight and range from a few hundred for standard rectangular tarps to several hundred dollars each for fitted...

Last week we were dispatched to a customer at LAX. Unfortunately, the customer directed us into the wrong entrance to their facility for T/Ts. Once in the fenced area of the property, there was no turning our almost 80' long rig around. Since we were in the area that they unload straight...

Moving back into a T/T from a DR-Unit just over two years ago for us was the right move. We have never looked back! With the exception of the hickup we had the first year trying to run an ER-Unit leased to FECC we have been much happier running specialized T/T freight than when we ran White...

No worries here! I'll just pay off my truck loan and become debt free. Then I will retire the truck and myself. Then I'll put a 14' box and lift-gate on it to get the Harley, canoe, and Bar B Que grill in the back and make it my "recreational vehicle" complete with toy box. If need be I'll...

If this quote is directed towards me xo6col, do you care to explain cause it does'nt apply here!

I assume most of your words are directed personally towards me xo6col. You find it easy calling someone a fool and claiming that he over extended himself when you don't even have a clue of what his (my) financial status is. Which is none of your business. Unlike Phil, I dont make my financial...

This thread of yours raises some interesting questions for me Phil. Unless the State of MN is making these Federal Grant Funds availible to all O/Os registered in the state, how will they qualify one owner over another in all fairness? Does an O/O such as yourself that has no truck payment...
