    Q.T. Atlanta

    Not a problem for me anymore, but, even when I wuz making the rounds I avoided Atlanta, Ga like it had the plague. Would much rather run NYC than there. But, i'm certain that it wasn't a nuther horsecrap decision made by management. Things like this usually are caused by customers filth...

    Is it a good time to get in to the business?

    Well Moose, all bull **** aside, you should be able to come up with a gestimate yourself. Jes take yer 340 days and subtract how many times you are going to break the truck. Then take the days you mis judged where the freight is, an subtract them. Then, take about half the weekends in that...

    The creation of a monster?

    Bottom line as I see it, there must be/have been "some" marginal performance somewhere in the chain for a customer to be that anal about the where's of their move. Even so, it only takes a moment to flip the phone open and give some "real time" info to the caller. As far as the distraction...

    Is it a good time to get in to the business?

    Not much info on your background in this business, but, it all depends on how much you are willing to pay for a good education. I wouldn't worry about the cost of fuel, all you have to do is whine for more fsc. Your immediate concern should be to start looking for a couple "good" teams before...

    You can bet it'll be a headache. Just crunch YOUR numbers, and see if there is anything left after everone else. If you think that move will simplify your life, better tink again.

    Pete 386 Straight Truck

    to answer your question bombay, might be a bit overkill for comfort if you are running single, and i'd sure keep an eye on the empty weight depending on how many donuts. If, you can field one outa yer *** pocket, then it dont make any difference. enjoy!

    securing cargo and equiptment needed

    Also, you may want to consider what type cowboy you are, or, if you are one. Driving habits and "luck" play into this also. Regardless, take what you "think" you need, and increase your inventory as you see you shoulda, or wish'd I had. Takes time, depending on who, what, when, why.

    Extra Money Expediting

    Well there McBuggy, i'm relieved to see SOMEONE gets it. Obsessive, is what it takes to succeed. Those that tink "doing your own thing" will simplify their lives are, dead wrong. If you "don't wanna" and, don't when the phone rings once in a while, then the phone WILL stop ringing. As an...
