I appreciate J Elliot @ Load 1 for his hiring practices. He only hires when he needs you not just for a number.

Depends on the commodity and Reportable quantity. If your under reportable (500lbs) I don't think your required by law but the carrier and they're insurance carrier might require it. Moose has a point, why not have one.

If your sitting in Florida, you need to move. When I go to Florida I stay long enough for a good nap then head north to S.C. ye ha!

Is that what they refer to in California as kinky sex??:eek:

That's a good one OVM. I would think crunching the numbers that a single would do better in a Sprinter or C/V than a team. Unless it was a steady run. It would be hard enough to do it with a spouse. I have been running team the last couple of weeks with my driver because of a couple of west...

Don't know how bad your rust problem is but they sell stuff called rust remover, rust killer or something like that in the Auto parts stores that sell body repair stuff. You brush it on and leave it for awhile then wash it off. I've used it and it works well. About $7 bucks for a small can...

We stopped for a break and I saw this and thought how funny. I should be careful because my driver is reading this, but he mentioned a raise maybe I could call him an "Extended Engineer". Welcome to the funny side of trucking.:D

OVM, So it looks to be about 10c a mile for maintenance this year. Really less than that since doing an A/C job. That's good. Gregs 750,000 is also great. Do you think that kind of success and overall miles can be done with hired drivers???

Most of them will take about 800-900watts to start. Starting is where your heaviest usage is. Once it starts and cycles it will cut back. It depends on which on you have. If you look at the spec sheet that comes with it, it will tell you. It should cut back to about 3-400 watts while just...

asjssl, That's a good idea, beats dragging it out every time you stop. I have the same generator. You need an Aluminum box. How bout sending a picture of the inside of the door that it hangs on. I have a couple of diamond plated aluminum box's but probably will have to frame in steel to...

Your not a dumb girl to ask that. I question the mechanics of some guys. To me if your running a Honda, buy Honda parts, that way there is no question it will work and work safely. You sure don't want to wake in the middle of a good sleep smelling gas or ????? Be safe.:cool:

15 BATTERIES ?????????????????????????????????????????????:eek:

I have stated the issues that I have with Tom Tom and that I'm going to try a Garmin. Well I have tried the Garmin on the trip that I'm on now. While I'm trying to make up my mind about what type truck I'm going to get for myself I have run a couple of runs to the northwest running double...

Thanks Lawrence.;)

Yes they can be aggravating. :cool:

Number one the answer is yes. They call them "Battery Maintainers." If your going to run that large of a generator why not run the roof unit direct and save the battery's? Matter of fact I believe the 2000 watt generator will run everything. The roof unit will use a lot when starting and...

Thanks Turtle.;)

Loose money!!!:D

That's a good point. Lot of heavy finger pointing without any facts. I also have a 45 with a hair trigger and I have to hide it in order to keep it from going off prematurely.;)

I also agree. I have been wanting to buy a new C/V and have been wanting a Cargo Max but I've been kind of nervous about the economy and fuel prices. They say freight is still strong but the high fuel prices are going to slow the freight down eventually. I am running double with my driver on...
