I am in the same boat as far as unpaid deadhead on hotshots, my solution was and is to run more local, glad I have that option.:) When the weather gets nicer I might be up for some more road trips, who knows.

Sorry, I am not rich so no, I have not owned a car that old. My Parents owned a 1949 International pickup and a 75 Ford Grand Torino Squire station wagon(yes it had the wood) Oldest car I have personally owned was a 65 Ford Galaxie 500 I do know that cars that old didn't have standardized...

I have to agree with the other posters. I am new to expediting, I started in April of this year, I am not new to driving straight trucks. Expediting is a whole other beast. My company is not a true expedite only company, but I am still struggling, I'm going to make it, but it hasn't been...

We will all have flying trucks, Ohhh wait 2010 is nearly here:eek:

My Grandfather who was born in 1922, said that flat tires occured almost everytime they drove anywhere. They were a fact of life. Most people of the time knew how to fix the tires and also most other things on the car. Remember even in the 70's most cars need valve jobs around 25K and...

Very cool indeed:)

Thank you, I may need it:D:eek:

Ha Ha Ha thanks for filling me in on the scoring method;):p

Picked up my truck at Penske today and made it all 22 miles to my house, and it ran fine. AMAZING:rolleyes: Let's hope for at least 150K trouble free miles:)

I've noticed the same thing with my GPS, if it tells me I will arrive at a certain time, even if I am doing 5 over the speed limit I get there at that time, so why bother speeding if it's not really gonna save you any time. I get behind a semi and save a little gas, not tailgating but close...

I was just kidding, most people in my family live to a ripe old age, I've got at least 40 if not 50 or more years left:D

I'm there with you, knocking on 40's door, my life is nearly over :eek:

You are correct, Sir:D

Exactly, what I tell my Wife. She hasn't been in over 15 years, and yes she still has all her teeth, just like her dad who hasn't been in over 30 year(maybe they are just lucky) I think she was tramatized by a dentist when she was small. Dentists,dental work is totally different then 20 years...

You guys are getting way to technical for me. It's making my brain hurt:eek:

The class 6 trucks I am driving International, Hino, Frieghtliner all have around 220 HP and are geared for city driving all revving around 2300 to 2500 at 65 I am not sure with that low of HP if lower gearing is available, guess it is something to look into. BTW these trucks get between 7...

Yeah, I mentioned to my leasing rep at Penske that I might look into a Kenworth or Peterbilt. He said as far as Penske is concerned they will lease them, but the parts availability will be less then say an International or Freightliner. I guess they carry most parts for those trucks, but have...

OOIDA is giving a $60 dollar discount on the Garmin 465T if anyone cares:)

Don't get a HINO:eek: Hey, Guido ? on the Kenworth, Peterbilt are they any quieter on the inside then the Internationals,Freightliner, Hino's? I know most of these trucks are very loud on the inside, also the engine is turning 2300 to 2500 at 65 mph, does the Kenworth rev less My next...

the liftgate although aluminum and lighter in weight is surrounded by a steel framework and also the pump and hydralic fluid, all of which adds weight.
