    Better have one of those fellas put some glue in the web right away, usually works for us. We got one of thos green stickers Sunday AM, west TN, I-40. Kind of a surprising place, seems to me. But, you never know.

    What have we done?

    Wow Ark, chill out, read your posts again. Seems like I read them wrong, or, you didn't articulate. In any event, apology accepted.

    What have we done?

    I agree completely Paul, with the disclosure part, that's not the point with me. My point is simply I will do all I can to move my customers freight, and the truck won't ALWAYS read FOSTER on the door. That is the point. And there is no problem. It is kinda amazing tho to me that most folks...

    CA Idling and Carb laws

    Cheri, yes you did. Bad truck!! Makes me wonder tho, if a simple rewire, or adding an isolated battery for entertainment things wouldn't make more sense? Economically. Problem I personally have with what I see running needlessly, is soon I won't be able to be somewhat comfortable the four or...

    CA Idling and Carb laws

    "I spent two days in (sunny and 70) Sacramento last week running my apu" All these regulations are confusing. But, it seems people are noticing the sensless running of things and giving us what we asked for. Regulations. It's too bad, we'll just have to suck it up.

    What have we done?

    Ark, why do you feel it is so imperative that he inform the customer he is a one horse outfit? Fact of the matter is, if the freight gets moved well---nobody cares. If you think for a second, that even the largest among us don't have to inform a customer "we can't cover your freight"?? You...

    Im concerned about...

    We are doing good so far in 08, seems to be plenty of freight at plenty good rates. Just depends maybe on how you go about it. Could depend on if you want to hit a couple home runs then sit at the house for a week, or run steady. Usually there are reasons other than the freight that...

    This is sad, does anyone else get it?

    Sad? Maybe YOU don't get it Greg. Aside from the fact that your bible WILL be confisticated, and you must "build" a place of worship, then tear it down immediately after services (to avoid being discovered) in Saudi Arabia, and, while watching the religious police chase "their" people to...

    What have we done?

    Lets not jump right in there and condem him to failure. After all, he CAN haul anything, from anywhere, to anywhere he chooses (depending on type of authority). That folks, is the doorway to opportunity. Those of you that are encouraging him to "join the herd" are in fact herders, and, misery...

    Reimbursement for Generator

    50% of your miles in New Jersey? Oucheee!!! If someone wanted me to run 50K+ in NJ, believe i'd give them a rebate not to have to. Me tink looking for a good tree and/or motel expenses is more attractive every day, with all the baggage the leaders are attaching to us these days.

    Secure parking lots?

    Maybe you could consider contracting with an expediter such as myself to move your things. I'd be interested in exploring the possibilities.

    please enlighten me

    Yes, here we are in America. Our new people don't/won't speak english, squat on the kamode to deficate, and piss the rest of us off. Signs won't do any good (they claim they can't read em), a real good latrine blanket party lesson is in order, even of, they think they have to post...

    &*^% Chicken Lights

    Use the "KISS" method for truck lighting. Austere but adequate. Will help eliminate heartburn.

    What's The Potential

    What is the fascination with a "bigger" company?? I'm just kinda wondering what the general mentality about this subject is out there? What? Larger security blanket? How big a blanke do you need? More loads? You will/can only haul one at a time. Here is a couple potential...

    considering a career in expediting

    What Caffee said. And I might add, considering this as a "career" as you research it, stead of a job or work, is a LARGE step in the right direction.

    Will Work For Loads

    Well, yes I guess. Might hand someone a business card(at the dock you are backed up to) takes ummm 10 seconds, or so. I aplaud the effort. As someone wise once said "minimal pain is surely apt to get you minimum gain". There in lies the problem from the employee attitude, like Greg...

    United Van Lines

    Yep,one more call to make. And, that is not a bad thing. Probably won't help the dependent contractors much, so why would you want to be one?

    RVs in the truck parking

    Takes all kinds you know. I don't even STAY at a truck stop with my truck, let alone the camping machine. Must be something about those truck stops that I have not figgured out yet. Boy, would I love to have one of em wake me up so's he could get out, he'd probably think a boxing...
