Hey Broom: Yer sposta get it in the right gear, click the engine brake, and enjoy the ride down, just like you enjoyed the ride up. (less the bumps) And other things to dodge.

RE: the breakdown so to speak rates virses cost to Atta boy Broom!!!

I started it rich, sorry. But I gotta admit that reading about a truck that has a 14 ft sleeper and a 12 ft cargo area kinda bores me.

Atta boy Diesel!! How'd you do outa AZ??

RE: the breakdown so to speak rates virses cost to You're fuel should be costing about 26-30 cent a mile to run. What are your FSC amounting to? A quarter? I'll buy nickel fuel all day long.

Best for what? Would be my question. If a person would wreck one of these, can you imagine the bath you'd take from the insurance companys, if, you didn't have some of that high dollar "gap" insurance. Not trying to rain on anyones parade, just a reality check.

In a case like this, i'd have to ask, which i'd rather do. Have a loaded truck and wait an hour or so for paperwork, or, be setting somewhere with an empty truck, with no freight in sight. Don't believe i'd look that horse in the mouth too close.

Hey Diesel, with all this vast info you have gotten, that basicly says to me, Punt. What'ca going to do? Punt??

I need to jump in here and suggest, that, those of you that are looking to sign such a unit with a Company, and, have GOOD operators but, can't find a company that will take one, then, you are not looking very hard.

RE: Your Competitors RE: Evolution or Revolution With too many $, in too little equipment, it may be fore skin being stepped on, not fore sight. They all sell customers "expedited" service. Problem is, the sales people make promises the system they work in cannot keep. Yellow, Estes, yada...

I don't feel FSC is offered to "cover" your fuel costs. They are offered to "help off set" your fuel costs. You need to buy a little fuel on your own.

Thst's right Leo, I always figgured if I wanted to hit a home run each day every day, i'd try out for the Cubbies, they certainly need the help.

Reception generally is so poor in many places, that I won't work with folks with Nextel, unless they change.

The tunneled vision, thru rose colored glasses of this dynamic industry certainly keeps many folks from truly being able to be successful. The most successful, by far, of my associates, had no expedite experience, no preconceived ideas of what, where, when it is good or bad. Is able to make...

BINGO. That is precisely why half my fleet are curtainsides. We can do it all. However, they are way too much work for most.

I'm not sure how more companys "springing up" equates to "cheap freight". We have been providing a "value added service" now for several years. Our customer don't have to play telephone tag with dispatchers and others to get "real time info" they can talk directly with the driver. After all...

Tall: Actually it was pee hole that was bleeped above.

Tall: With all your world travels to what, 35 countries?? What did you do smell the flowers??? Or, just the #####??? There are some few hundred to go!! Or, is that too far, or too much, or, too many or, to whatever????

If, that $75,000 revenue figure is in fact your "goal", then your numbers are probably correct. A couple grand net. Obviously, after you've cracked the nut, any "goal" increase would certainly improve the net picture. If, you simply want to see the country, then do it from the window of a...

I've all but quit hauling parts to the big three, because I didn't care for busting my ##### all night to get freight there, then having to wrestle some ##### hole's coffee and donut and newspaper away from him and chase him/her to the forklift to unload me.. I resisted buying a "foreign" car...
