It got nuked. Ya jes can't flame someone on the first post, even if it is fact. Lotta rules here you see. All gots to be politically correct.

IF, I were of the attitude that I had already made my $2.98 for the month, and the load was taking me to my doorstep and my fat rat recliner chair (that is important to many), then........maybe.

Well yes, when making a sales call, if the first or second thing outa yer mouth is "the only thing that goes on that truck is your shipment", then that is the way it is. Seems foolish to me tho, having a 24 foot truck going down the road with 2 skids and 2000 pounds. And, if they want to pay...

Ya gotta understand tho, that the sun does not rise and set in the exhaust pipes of cargo vans. There is a myrade of neat using equipment out there favorable to do neat things for them that they don't have contracted to them. this is one way to gain those assets, without waiting for the...

Maybe. It could be that they are having trouble getting their "exclusive use" prima donnas that won't bump more than one dock for pickup to haul their freight. Dunno? I wuz tinkin more on the lines that they want to keep their folks busier. Dunno?

Seems Fedup finally figgured out where the freight is these days and joined the Alliance. You sitters will have some chances to move prolly

You really gotta watch those thieves at the Cummins shops.

Yep, seems like the days of wine and roses are over for those that don't.

Imagine that! Like many companys that have the disgruntled that are mainly dumasses or the roast goose hunters.

Yessir! Those that have that pie in the sky, big hotshot, "exclusive use" mentality, are a dying breed [literally]. Never could figgure out why someone would want to run "exclusive use" for a buk seventy, when they could go the same direction for tree seventy/

A drastic measure could be "run er till she blows", there would be a possibility you could start fresh. What have you got to loose, you are down most of the time anyway.I did that once, and never bought a new truck afterwards.

I started out with my company with the attitude that "we" (O/O/company) could cooperate and graduate with green pockets. However I soon learned that the prevailing attitude on the street was hurrah for me and screw you. I'm sure that attitude has not improved lately. Case in point.... I...

Ahh but, you had the opportunity for a really nice nite in Corpus, but,......

Splain please, if you want some help. Who? What?? When?? Why??

If you are going to expedite, i'd suggest you locate your business close to home. That way, when you get your 80% inservice hit, you don't have to go too far for R&R.

Fifteen calls @ ten minutes might be hunnert fity minutes, by my figgur'in. Be a couple hours plus??? If yer not finding freight for em, where does the other twenty sum hours go. Oh, my bad. I guess i'm that busy at the Pass, an better not throw those stones.

You are from Franklin, they are from Franklin, what in the world are you asking the question here for?? Anyway, they would be plenty good to work with, if, you wanna work. Can't imagine it'd be an issue anyway if'n yer just going to {work} for them. Or, did you mis-state your intentions??

156K miles a year, driving in (what appears) New England?? Me tink yer dreaming. Or, someone has sold you a bill of goods about revenue. Regardless, the least cost engine to rebuild would be the IH 466. A 250 HP engine should be plenty for that kind of weight. You may want to consider...

An then if you are like many and only be in service the 80% of the time, yer looking at closer to $2700. And, waiting parts a week, $1800 As you can see, the numbers get pretty small pretty quick.

Hey you two, better be keerfull, they might git to tink'in yer pick'in on em. And momma mod'll be after you.
