Neat pix tude. But, boyz an gurlz a clasic example of "take care yer horse, an it'll take care of you", is certainly displayed here!! Looky at all da chrome dat horse financed.

Absolutely!! However, your carriers ability to utilize the extra capacity of that type vehicle will govern if it is more profitable. Look for carriers that have the skills to load multiples on the same trip.

I truly understand bout the hunnert trucks. And it's a fine thing for folks to do..... if'n they are going to be here for the long term, an want a qc stop'in wind for the long term. Maybe, by then (after a long term) they (someone) will have figgured out how ta hook that paid for qc...

Leo, YOU are a math wizard it seems. You need to start a trucking company an help your contractors save ALL da bucks. That'd be a good ting. If'n ya had 100 trucks signed on ya could live off'n tha residual. Almost, if they didn't understand the investment aspect. All this is good tho.

Werent no exception wit me greg. I made da rules what went on the truck, in what condition, an how it came off. It's that "employee" attitude that still stimies things to happen. Or, not to happen.

Nah pj, the drivers didn't "wanna". Ya couldn't even get em tipped off the first step to go pick up a three skid seventy cent load. After all they (only) had room for fifteen more skids. The that's not the way it happens attitude, or, how you "expedite" attitude is overpowering. Many will...

Got to tinkin after my earlier post... Boy would I feel good (NOT) about getting extra point from this clown. Believe i'd have to tell him to keep em.

We employed a flatbed tow truck many a time to get the freight to the ground there ovm. MANY! Way less damaging than opening the door and hitting the brakes in reverse. Not to mention.... easier on the brakes.

Now THAT is a classic example of the phrase "edumacated idiots". And to tink they're paying GOOD money for that edumacation. What school is this anyway??

Sounds to me like the "system" first in/first out that everyone thinks is so precious has gotca. Can you imagine the bs the dispatchers would hear if'n they'd pass over 4 or 5 folks and just offer that 200 miler to someone that would actually run it?? Can't happen. Ya gotta understand...

I understand completely there charles. How'd ya like to have seven (7) ltl's like that going the same direction?? That wuz my record with the 30 footer. Why don't they???? Mainly because of the lack of skills and gumption in their dispatch and driving force (bout covers it, eh), that...

I had a very strict policy that ALL mentioned percieved damage stayed on the truck. Being I wuz going to pay for it, I wuz going to own it. Be surprised how that policy eliminates damage claims. 99.999% of the other times, when life wuz good, i'd simply have em mark recieved in good condition...

Wayy to go there garman. The American way these days. Absentee owner provides poor service (because he's absent) expects large returns, an stead a trying to figgure it out what is wrong, re-tooling, re-equiping, re-personneling, re-evaluating, penciling, changing your skin, to make it work, ya...

However, y'all, there is one (don't remember where) that is marked spot on. Had a contractor whom is a testament to that fact. Unfortuneately, it only takes one to spoil your day. Or, week.

Actually pj, there is a town/village in Egypt that pronounces its name like that. How'd ya like to give your identification credentials to a cop somewhere else in the world and try and convince them you were from BF, Egypt? I'll echo Dave's response about your familiarity with the company...

The citys are fine, in their own way broomie. But Myself I prefer the Bergs to see sumpin. Seems i've generally been disappointed with the glamor and glitter of the advertised spots. ie. Pyramids-- nasty, dirty, dusty etc, etc. Gimme da simple tings anyday.

ANY that are worth their salt would. Check em out.

Jes a couple tings come to mind broomie. What might be wrong with a get off, get on ramp??? And were you logging the speed limit?? I always carried with me some beenie weenies for such a delima.

Ah, all biz eh? Ya know ya don't have to contribute,jes be aware of your surroundings. Anyway, there are a LOT of nasty, nasty ones out there. But, even the better of em were revolting to me.

I never did truck stops well while out except for the normal business of fuel, showzers. But I see a couple of folks turning their noses up at places that housed a couple venues that would make a truck stop stay kinda bearable. One wit a bar, an anuther wit a ti ti bar. Heard the Chippendales...
