Good post. My last load was one of those where everything that could go wrong, did. I'm not sure who was to blame. I'm fairly confident that I wasn't the blame or anyone at my company (dispatchers mainly). Some of it was pretty aggravating. "When" I can keep my wits about me, I just remind...

Thinking I need to relocate...not so much for new freight, but to get some distance from the one I delivered this morning :D

Actually had a nibble today out of Houston....was going to Cleveland. Something fell through tho...pretty sure Im first out and NOT being dizpatched around :D

Wow....somebody that doesnt even know what he will be hauling and hasnt even done enough research to find a thread as recent as the Landshark thread ...... and he figures we're just upset about losing business...lol If I were you, I would lease to all 3 of them....nothing like just finding out...

Just delivered in Houston, TX.....got a few miles down the road and dispatch called...waiting to see if I need to go back to the airport...lol....this load has had a few issues

You made the right choice....we just had the conversation last week about you being prepared for it. It's still a surprise though, especially when it doesnt give ya any warning...lol

John, I inderstand that it's a technical issue... but, I don't trust the IRS to overlook a technical error...if they deemed at as an error. Obviously they don't or haven't had a problem with it so far. I think it's just one of those things that has always been done so everybody accepts it as...

Lol...yeah...in some ways. Chris called to see what my eta looks like? Lol.... I was nice

Judy and Ken...hate to hear that. At least you were prepared and knew it had to go sooner or later. Hope it all works out well.

My day keeps gettin better....they got the freight ready....too wide. Ive got 49-3/4" width for freight...their freight was 48" wide...before they wrapped 2x4's around it for air freight...lol. So, we angled it in...worked out. Now, I'm stopped waitin on dispatch's call....they think Ive got...

So...I get to the shipper....they havent even started on the load..lol. Guy in shipping doesnt even know about it. "OH, I bet that's the air freight. We'll have to band that up and get it ready, I'll come get ya when we get it ready." Gotta love "logistics"...lol Pickle wagon update?

I didnt have any problems with Load One either. I do despise filling out an application for employment when I am a contractor. All companies do that and personally, I think it exposes them to the IRS employer vs contractor issues. Its just my opinion obviously. Seems like an easy fix to me. As...

Now rescheduled for noon. Funny how they tend to call just enough ahead of time to prevent detention charges. So, any verdict yet on the pickle transporter?

The research I've done boils down to intake, exhaust, ecm tune. Sounds like you have the exhaust done already. The intake may be as simple as dropping in a different filter. If I remember correctly, Jack Berry was getting around 16 mpg with his hcv and I think it had the 5.4? If that's the...

Mornin folks. Good luck Ken! Im waiting for a pickup...was scheduled for 9am, rescheduled for 11am.

If the setup works out and you have the turnkey setup in the low $40's, I wouldnt consider it overpriced. The final product, the payload and the fuel mileage will determine the success. That price tag is not out of line for what your building...imo.

DD, could you name any specific part of that truck that didn't have issues? I seem to remember it having a killer a/c system?

That would explain it... now if my phone would actually retain the quote. It has the quote option, it used to work fine, but it don't work anymore (I quoted Jenny's post in this post). Oh well, I can't reply to pms from my phone anymore either. I have to start a new msg to reply. :confused:

Its all good now. Just a small cell actually. I was watching it on weatherbug and knew hail was possible....almost waited too long to get under the canopy though...lol. The pumps were empty 3 minutes earlier, then they were full when it hit...lol. Amazing how many vehicles will fit into such a...

Just had mostly golfball, some tennis ball sized hail here just outside st.louis. I got "most" of the cargomax under the gas pump canaopy...man that stuff is loud hitting that fiberglass shell...lol. Everything appears ok for me....several cars under the canopy now with various windows/glass...
