In 2005 I took a load from Orlando, Fl to El Paso Tx. Sat in El Paso for 7 days, then dead headed to Laredo. I did get out of Laredo that same night to Michigan. Everyone should spend a week in El Paso or Laredo, you can learn a lot.

That works well for me as well. It's a new day and time and not many drivers will talk to one another like the old days. Now a days you have to be careful who work with.

Wow, that was heavy.

I was just curious, I haven't tried them out it just seems like to much hassle for the money. I would rather the carrier find the freight, that's what we're paying them for.

You probably have a 4.10 axle ratio. If that's the case tuned to it's peak and a bully Dog you might get 16 if you drive about 60mph.

I'm starting to deal with a dealer about the Unicel. They have a CW model and a SRW model that really looks good for our industry. A great deal cheaper than a Sprinter if specked right. One model is 500 cubic feet of load space for under a 10K truck.

He might be thinking you need a break.

When they ad a year to your contract, that pays for their equipment. Verizon is making the announcement about 4g Wed/ Jan 12th of 11. Sprint might work well in the mid west and east but down south it's very sporadic. At my house I don't have a Sprint signal at all.

Any one know of this company and it's history?

Just curious to know if anyone is using U Ship for a fill or return load? Most to me seem as though the shipments are impossibly low and not worth the effort. What do you think?

I just noticed the date, thanks! I was wondering why he put E-trac on the floor and none on the walls. I don't know if there is anywhere to brace on the walls looking at it. Nice truck though.

JR. How do you like your newer Chevy? I'm running an older 02 with a 6.5 going to upgrade early summer. What engine do you have? 6.0? What's your average mileage? Oh by the way I am just west of Columbia SC. Thanks for the info, send me a mess/Later

Now that's what I call a lot of STRESS!

I have Rattlers, Moccasin's, Copperheads, some Coral even some Gators close to the house. As long as you don't step on them they will leave you alone. As far as Moccasin's getting in the boat, their just looking for dry place. I think. Had a rat snake in the house once. They don't bother...

Remember! WalMart profit was 5 billion last year. About 1 billion was from Expediters parking in their lots waiting on freight. tisk, tisk, lol.

That's very good advise. After 40yrs of trucking I have learned one valuable lesson. If it's bad for one driver it's not so bad to the next. One inch of snow might seem like 1 foot to a rookie, to each his own. I don't listen to CB reports about weather, only if the roads closed. Like Elk...

Thinking about it, if I were in Laredo anytime in the first quarter of the year and someone offered me $1.30 I'd be loaded and gone before the conversation ended.

Thankyou!!!!

Just outside Columbia SC. Snow and Sleet falling. About 2-3 inch's on the ground. Isn't it fun? It could be worse, Donner Pass, 4th of July Pass, Cabbage Pass, North Powder, this is a breeze if you can keep the people out of your way. CHAIN UP AND GO!

In 2005 I was talked into delivering two pallets of computers a block from Times Square on Christmas Eve. I paid a guy to watch the truck while going to the 7 floor with 4 ea on a hand truck. Buy the time I was done, I paid the guard, tipped the cop, paid a parking ticket. Those expenses were...
