RE: availability I had thought about doing something similar Phil, but, after a lot of years doing this, i'v decided that if i'm going rv'ing, i'm going to be comfortable doing it. So.... i'm on my last trip of the year as I type (RT Indy- San Fran-Indy). Been avery good year, and when I...

Kinda wanted to read what Remus had to say this time, but, the thread seems to have slipped away to cyber never-never ranch.

But, if you are going to RV more than truck, how in the world are you going to keep your acceptance percentages in line with expectations? Could be the quick way to permanent RV'ing tho. Seems there are always obsticles to doing what ya wanna do when someone has the other end of the leash in hand.

I'd like to have a pair of em hanging off my ICC, but, guess i'll spend the fifty bucks on a whole fifteen gallons of fuel instead. Isn't that a sad state of affairs? Get me a whole hunderd sixty miles down the road, stead of showing chrome.

Well yes, lets not get technical. But, if most had a couple grand left each week after expenses, maybe, just maybe they'd be satisfied with the outcome. I'm not sure what "big money" means to whom, however, i'd suggest a couple grand sure beats the alternative of working a shop at fifteen...

Shut it off.

BUCKS??? WHAT A DEAL!!!

RE: Expediter Thanksgiving, Bordentown Petro, 6:30 Yes, an admirable thing to do. I'm heading to the other coast, and can't make it. Love to join you and give a tour of the old Farmall after dinner. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Diva, this is about like your complaint about getting hosed for two cents in Canada a while back. Give em a break. The original typer is either an idiot or, a ...... So watca tink?

Jeff, been trying to splain to the clowns reading here for some years the same ting. Good to see someone getting it. Kinda funny how easy it is, once you get it. Isn't it?

Sharp, We don't have any 335's. But, have had exceptional service from our 330's. The 8.3/315 coupled with the super ten make a really good combination. The 8.3 is inframeable, if you are going to keep it for a while. Can't help with the 335 tho.

Wayne, with the experience under your belt, and being retired, i'd stay retired. With four trucks, and, knowing little about the business, you will most certainly be able to add "education" to your resume. Remember, bad decisions build character.

IF, you give up that easily, this occupation (probably) is not for you. Best you stay (maybe) with the big trucks and the long waits at the shipper and receiver. Your question was like asking which big truck company is best. Ya got an answer for that?

Cheri, You should get ahold of Pelgrums driver and discuss your mutual delimas, and, meet in the middle.

I really hope this foray into the subject has some teeth this time. It would certainly and quickly take care of the "too many trucks" thing. Too many trucks is not a good thing. Maybe, equipment will be affordable for the folks that really want to do this, without [the} monkey on their back.

OVM, Gwinner is butiful this time of year, specialy if a good run save you from a DH home. Most folks really don't understand what they are up against in this business. The diversity of folks is amazing to me. A lot of em probably can't believe someone actually lives up there, and a run to...

On the other hand, it might be wise to walk away from anyone, on either side, owner or driver who has a "relationship" with a lawyer. I have discovered there are not any happy endings (totally) in any driver owner partnership. Partnerships are really, really frail, depending on expectations...

Thats one problem with a expediters workshop I attended once. By the time the event was finished, i'd have RUN to the table to see where I could "sign up for this gravy train", IF I had not been around for a while in this business. Some are in fact "experts" in their own right. However, the...

RE: off topic But, are the real or, imagined problems like Berneih's. If one was prepared for the "out of the way places", one could sleep in the peace and quiet that they offer. And, not have to DH back there to load freight, deadheading again from the truck stop or Wall Mart is not...

How about a weekend before TG to load Fri (INDY) del Manhattan Sat, reload for del Sun (INDY). Rest a day, load Tue for a del San Francisco fri. Guess there is freight that week.
