    Legally bound?

    For what it is worth. You may get by with it for a while. But, at 15-20% of what business you realized from that shipper the bill would be sizeable when the piss'in contest is finished. Recommend you go find your own customers.

    RE: New 2006 International 4300 with 466 engine Be Actually, the 466 is not a new design. It's been around IH since the 70's, starting being used in farm tractors. It is an excellent engine and well proven, economical to rebuild, and service is available almost everywhere. There are many...

    Flat Bed Freight

    Maybe, just maybe there are some of us "others" that do flatbed expedited freight. And, you are right it never hurts to ask. Flatbedding won't work for most, because, that's just exactly what it is - work. Way more work than most want.

    Walmart Parking Lots

    I spoke with a Wallmart driver the other day and he told me I may as well get used to being run out of more and more Wallmarts in the future, thanks to a few slobs that stay there with us that leave the area a total mess. I have even been runout of a couple Casino lots because of this.

    are there any decent owners out there?

    I kind of see the problem luv is aluding to, "sending idiots to drive with me". How many times do we see the recommendation that you drive for an owner before you take the big leap. That opens the door for pandora's box you know. Interestingly, I read that same advice given on this site by an...

    AlumiBunk Got me

    To get back toward the original post "Alumabunk got me" I'v been reading things on this site for quite a while now. I remember reading some things about that brand way back when that caused some flags for me. However, still today you find people that did in fact read the same things that I...

    Yes, if you have an idea, act on it, don't just tink about it.

    axle positions and too much thinking time

    LDB: We use split rears on our units. 8'1" allows 12/20/20, and, makes it real easy to tweak and place weight where you want it.

    PANTHER II

    I liked Bob's response about every driver should take their turn at dispatch. Here, everyone, EVERYONE, takes their turn in the "hot" seat soon after they start with us. We practice the total "team" effect here. Just like my old days when my "Ranger Buddies" and I knew exactly what each other...
