Hey Leo: Let us know when you get tired of doing those 18 gears, then let us know when you get REAL tired of them.

That is, may not exceed 40 foot in some States. Ironically, States like North Carolina, Iowa, and many others with good roads and plenty of room limit you to 40 foot, others with restricting roads and postage stamp sized shipping lots like Vermont limit you to 46 foot, New Hampshire 45 foot...

Actually, that highly resembles a Arab World Truck Stop. The service in those areas is either slow or, stop.

Yes, what Tenneseahawk typed. Maybe the honeymoon is over.

I believe he typed it had a full tandem. Too bad you didn't do at least a 98" wide door.

RE: Dream Not Team On top of all that, most want a guanrantee for minimum income. I'm like Tony, still a small fish carrier for exactly his reasons. I have been requireing anyone new to run with the old buck (me) for a while before I turn anyone loose with equipment. That usually eliminates...

When I spun off from being a Contractor for a Company to doing my own thing, I immediately went for non-automotive moves. I personnally never cared for visiting the (any) auto plants. We now do about 8-10% total automotive (selectively). ie. if it is a good long run, we can put up with some...

I worked with a couple guys that I was going to put in a truck as a team here a while back, neither could "stand up to the plate" for over 5-6 hours without getting exhausted and stressed out. Against my better judgement, I teamed them up anyway. Didn't work. I guess the message is, if you...

I'll betcha it's that Oklahoma air. Steers & Queers you know. Did you get close to one???

Folks, you simply adjust the delivery time. The computer generated delivery time cannot be adjusted easily, so, you are in the hot seat over nothing.

Rich: You must be/would be one of those fleet owners/drivers that allow policy to be strictly dictated to you and you take it for gospel. Ya gotta try the water, once in a while.

Teacel: Don't matter if you run into a "my glass is half full" type or a "my glass is half empty" type, most will still expect YOU to do the walking over there to fill it up.

That's right folks, if the rules don't work for you, then, you have to work the rules. It's easy, just "git 'r' done".

RE: White Glove, Backstabbers, GOD's, Snitches, Ni Nah Dave, just add a letter and call it "most" from my observations. It probably is just plain old infatuation with what they learned or were told in their two or three eight hour classes.

When administration for this sort of thing blocks the door way of "git 'r' done" our phones will be ringing. We can adapt. www.fostertrucking.com

Miko: If you have the moxy to be in the truck 52 weeks, it'd only be about 1400 miles per week. I'm sure you could stand that if you tried. But, in the 45 weeks we look at it's 1650 a week. I don't understand get'in the hands on the truck part, sorry. And yes, we do have a good maintenance...

We use heavy "D" units that are logistics equiped or specialty ie curtainside. Our "big" trucks averaged $121k in 2004. According to our fuel tax filings for all miles the average was $1.62 per mile. The key is a large customer base so you can dh across town and not the state. As Tony says "it...

There you go. Get you a $80,000 machine and put a 16 foot box on that tandem truck. I believe you'd almost, or, would, have the ultimate toy truck.

Not necessarily a good thing to think only of yourself. Seems we are all in this together [o/o and company]. I have read here many times that the customer and freight is "their" (the companys) freight. Don't you people take any ownership at all for your livelyhood???? Don't you want to help...

YES, ALL THE ABOVE. mAN, i am sorry, i didn't know participating here was testable.
