Exactly. And I'm sorry. An offer is an offer. If they offer it wrong, they should pay it. They don't understand that these little $160 deals go through your head time after time in a 12 hour shift. It will cost them more than $160 sometime in the future. It's just human nature. I work...

You can't charge a dry shipper a BR rate. There will be cases where you could say all we have is a BR, if you're willing to pay his rate. Sometimes it will work. Often times not. It's much easier to get O/O's than it is to get customers. The only way I would buy a BR would be if I lived near...

That happened to me two Januaries ago in an owner's truck. We delivered Orlando and were offered Savannah Ga as a layover option. I didn't like Orlando ( many trucks there) or Savannah (too far to go on a fishing expedition ) I consulted the owner, he pays fuel, and was told to do whatever I...

Dry box. No. Load heavier to the rear. Reefer. Few would spend the $$$. I suspect that most str8's have 12,12.3, or 12.5.

Sadly, there is a learning curve. And Luck. The best thing you do is offer as many things as you can to a carrier, haz-mat, liftgate, Canada, etc. Keep the truck and yourselves in shape to always be ready to go. With any company there will be good weeks and bad weeks. That's the nature...

Curious if agents get bombarded with 53 Hey I'll be here e-mails daily if they won't ignore them all ?

I would think moving the APU back a lot would gain you 150-175 lbs at most.

14 plus axles were common on class 8 trucks a few years back. I'm under 14 on my truck. And I imagine the 20,000 axle weighs quite a bit.

What size steer axle do you have ? What are your tires rated at ? Have ya thought about weight watchers ? :) ** ** For YOU, not the misses

What do you weigh on steers now ? M-2, Mercedes ? 96" Alumni-Junk ?

What would you be looking at for a drivetrain, and why ?

Why ? You have a better chance of getting a proper front axle on an used class 8 tractor than you do on a new expeditor. Also, almost no enforcement on front axle weight.

It's done fairly often. No different than upfitting any other class 8.

Or Mascot Olympics/Games Fast Freddy FedEx Punctual Paul Panther Lovely Larry Load One Terrific Tom. Tri-State Express One's mascot couldn't make it- he's out running MORE MILES, trying to make it.

Maybe we should delete 18-20 & 22 and get back on track.

I'd suggest a Carrier Roast instead. It'd be less personal. Wife: Honey, do you know what time it is ? A driver here needs to know. Husband : Who does he drive for ? Wife; Why does that matter ? Husband : Well if he drives for FedEx tell him it's 3:50 or 10 to 4. If he drives for...

moved to the proper thread . Thanks for the many that helped. :)

That was very cool.

I'll send you a check for two dozen.

I didn't mean to sidetrack the topic. I carry 300 gallons of fuel. I wouldn't want to be sitting over 300 gallons of gas. Although you probably wouldn't burn worse than if a hundred gallon tank of gas blew up.
