Moose, i'm sure there was plenty of planning and coordination with other carriers BEFORE those type services were offered. Ya jes can't wake up one day an decide yer gonna provide "pie in the sky" with your assets, no matter how big you are. Very unlikely to happen, unless it would be in...

Chappy, seems like that is kinda "woe is me" tinkin. You can look at it as competiton or, opportunity. (glass half empty - glass half full) Because there will be many opportunities that they simply can't cover. Ya jes hafta let em know ya can help out and communicate equipment locations. Is...

That is a good analagy nite. I never thunk bout the work'in 2 an hid'in 2, but it sure fits a lot of mo's, for whatever reason. Many of you "no pay" bemoaners will never understand until you have tried very hard to create a win/win for everyone and continually get slapped by people that...

Very good suggestion there Moot. Did I read that someone refused a load because of umm tape residue on the box?? Jes when I tink i've read it all - - an then wala! This is very educational, I learn something quite a bit on this site. Still trying to decifer what it was I learned on this...

Well i'd say it's the same ole push-pull story. A living wage is one thing, even if it don't afford the toys as well as a living. But, going roast goose hunting without any investment or other comittment is not going to work very long. It appears to me that Carriers like schneider gave it the...

Jes guess i'll haft start tweaking and wait for the ka boom, an if that happens i'll jes git me one of them 440 hemi crates. That outa wake er up. Keep ya informed. That might be cool a 3500 flatbed on the "juice". Hmmmm?

"Distance from home"??? Sounds a bit suspect to me. Believe you'll find, distance from home to the office in this business will make little or no difference in the grand scheme of things.

The dually ratio is 4:10. Don't expect it to be a rocket sled, as it prolly never will be. But, the difference setting in the driveway when ya goose it is really telling. There is considerable time lapse between when I ask for it, and when I get it. Throttle response jes isn't there. I'll...

Piper, he's in a straight truck. Depending on his height, may be problematic. Moose, if yer going to be at Javits, why not drive it to Brooklyn and park it where you are going to be?? It'd be bout the same horseing round, an freight might/would be better ther than Jersey. Chances are...

Yes, it is a 5.7/350, and it resides in a 3500 Dodge cab and chassis.

Thanks. Guess i'll have to get back to the drawing board, an try to figgure a way to wake mine up, jes seems to be real tired compared to a friends magnum.

All info is good info for the thread. I'm more interested in 5.7 Hemi outcomes. My research has seemed to say that a chip is effective with an automatic but not so much with a manual trans. Mine seems to lack response, thus the question bout the throttle body. I understand it wouldnt do much...

It's not mebbe a good idea, it's absolutely a good idea!!

Has anyone reading tried installing aftermarket parts like cold air breather, throttle body modification, flow thru exhaust to increase HP or mileage with your pannel wagon or cube van?? If so, what provided the largest increase (if any), and what would one expect for improvement in power/mileage?

I dunno what HIS boots feel like Hawk. But if he's allowed his truck costs (an feeding the family ain't truck costs) to exceed what the revenue will support, he be have a problem. Simple! Y'all still will always have to get away from the employee mentality (even when yer an illustrious...

Well folks, if I had a straight truck OR a tractor, that cost MORE than ninety cent a mile to operate, believe i'd shoot myself in the foot, an look for one a them buk an hour jobs. Be a lot more fun.

Maybe? So, let us know what you have to show for waiting, and waiting, and waiting for da home run, steada moving and checking the temp somewhere else? I don't understand the complete picture, but sci fi is real clear.

Lemme see here, yer in FL, tis a holiday? Ya git a chance for 500 mi @ 1.15? Fuel 'l cost a quarter. What other impo'tant things did ya do today??? No fsc? Boo hoo! KW, after ya been mak'in that big money double dipp'in, whatca doing waiting for the beep these days. What did I...

yes, it's a very good thread Dave. I wuz chided by THE terry a while back for being a bit of an ltl guy, But, if'n yer "title as expediter" ain't gitt'n er done, ya may "wanna" look elsewhere. Put one or seven on the machine (don't hafta kill yusef) an float fer awhile. Y'all better git it...

Ahh yes, turtle my boy. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. She'll be an age long ting. Some'll be look'in down (but thry're really look'in up) an some'll be look'in down cause they have a perch to look from. Depends on which perch we are on.
