Nuther problem is, many have been used to cracking "their" nut by about Wednesday or Thursday, then going fishing, or racing, or....... for a while. prolly wish they hadn't then because they can't now. Been way better the other way.

Here is precisely the point. Never say never! There is ALWAYS the exception. As stated here, "the only reason is "IF" (and then followed by a nuther one). Remember If is the middle word in life. Makes no difference what the reason is that you take less than desireable freight, the fact is...

Yepper, we didn't do very much auto freight, but when we did, Ford plants were the ones I liked the least. Butt.. when their stock got down to $1.01 in Nov 08, I couldn't help myself. Got 10,000 at $1.14 that day. At this moment it's hovering round $5.22. Seems I like those Ford plants...

Here is a classic example of WHY one should double up on a few payments over time steada adding to the toys pile it seems. Jes gitt'in by, never has, don't now, an never will work very well in the grand scheme of things.

Seems survival skills combined with math are lacking out there ovm. Don't understand WHY someone would consider 20% dh for an 88 cent load. To dh cross town is one thing buttt... The high rollers prolly WILL take a hit in this environment, along with their smmoooth equipment that can't haul...

And i'd say good! I'll run the ltl NO prob. THEN i'd go to work and git a nuther 3K to go with it...... an it'd be a fair week. BUT if'n yer talk'in a 300 miler, THATS a different story. Way too many scenarios to be placed on your plate to to say.....aino way. Remember tho, ya...

But Dave, If it had tousand dollah leather seats, wouldn't it be worth it? Then yer drivers could turn down them good pay'in loads for which the truck was intended....because they wouldn't want the seats scratched during a security search. An everyone is happy ever after. Right?

I used to chide them openly on this forum for their "don't wannas" or " won't do's", while profiting in the background from good runs that they didn't wanna/won't do. If tings are that tuff out there, better not keep reinforcing the fact....they may jes catch on.

Not sure why the dog would need to be IN the truck, but it seems SOMEONE feels they do need to be inside for some reason. I'd suggest tho, if you refuse a good run because of that reason, you don't need/want to run too bad. I'd prolly place that excuse in the same category as "tape residue"...

Once I was bothered by a bs citation from Arkansas. Sooo. i decided to go for it. Got a real good load to Arkansas. EASILY won the complaint, an got a killer load out, picking up 20 miles away.

IF they owe you THAT much THAT long, why don't you make a bit of a detour while out sometime and GO SEE Willie, steada playing phone tag with the help?? You may even wanna rub his bald head a bit to git him purring to the accounts payable department. Can't hurt.

After three years with Roberts, had an opportunity to pop some caps in the mid east for a while as a government contractor. Had my first, that continued over the years big disappointment with "experienced, dedicated, conciencious, hard working drivers.

RTO, there are combo's out there that are very, very economical, if you take time to look, and are patient. The last truck I fielded I "found" a 1992 9700 International flatop with 229,000 miles, factory built straight truck. Previous life wuz a chicken hauler, an recent life wuz a hauler of...

Maybe I can help. If you are running a tandem and add a steer axle, you have capacity of 12 plus 12 plus 34, for a total of 58,000lbs (jes to be safe). If your teuck weighs 24,000 empty you could (CARRY) 34,000lbs legal. Butttt..... there are bridge laws that will limit you to 54,000lbs as a...

Ahh, that is good. The casino wuz the real pits a year or so ago. Guess they've made good enough to expand some.

If I remember correctly, that place is nastier than most truk stops. Unless things have changed you don't wanna be there evenings on weekends, cause you'll not be able to git out if you need to.

I read the thread as an observation OF a lady that wuz a fleet owner that allowed her fleet to degenerate over the years by working with associates that increasingly didn't wanna do much good tings. Consequently, the quality of the equipment deteriorated because of revenue shortage and she wuz...

I jes did, but twas sooo good believe i'll revisit that action. Nuther day!!

Ahh, funny I guess. But, many of the "experienced" in dis biz will make references to tings that newbs will not "git" unless ya do plenty research. To "wonder what wuz said" an comment at the same time, really shows the midget in the grey. Background, socialization, experiences all have a lot...

Missy, I read and understand everything I am interested in, or, tink I need to know. IF we have nazis on here wunnering wot wuz typed, maybe, jes maybe they should figgure they don't understand, and leave it at that. Steada bust'in someones chops. Thats all.
