Well it doesn't matter if you are a Liberal,Conservative, Liberterian, Communist, Socalist etc. Dealing with Freightliner dealers can make anyone temporarily insane and give primal urges to kill.

You won't get any information about Hot Shot work at the Expo but it would still be a usefull experience for your friend to attend. If nothing else it will show you what expediting is all about.

Well then what you really are talking about something called "Hotshot Freight"where there is a 1-2 ton pickup and a small flatbed trailer to haul light freight such as pipes ,insulation etc

If the pickup had a cap on it he just might get on as a A unit but I wouldn't count on it.

Draco In Knoxville I have always found the TA at the top of the hill to be the quietest one of the 3 truck stops at that exit. You are also away from the diesel fumes coming from the idleing trucks.

I agree with Danny,the problem is not going into Canada,it is coming back in to the USA.

Have you checked with companies that you mentioned, If they will take you on without a CDL? Sometimes the insurance companies want you have as much qualifications as possible.

Forget Alabama and go to Arkansas where that great Gov Mr Bill and the Hildabeast did a superb job in bringing up educational levels.

Did Panther ever do that IPO offering. I think they were trying to raise $250 million,perhaps they did this to buy Conway. Now will FEDEXCC stay the same or will they look to buy Tri State or some other carrier. With the purchase of Watkins which is primarily a long haul carrier, I see many...

I think a menage a troi would certainly require a LARGE sleeper. BTW two wives on the road at the same time giving advice. Somehow I think the Mormon Male might want to re think his religion.

Best procedure is to go to a CAT engine dealer,next is to get a shop manual from Cat somehow.

Do any of the trucker laywers out here have any idea how long a time frame is for a customer to report physical damage to their location. On July 17th I was informed that acustomer claimed that in the process of loading 12 refigerators I and my helper damaged their carpet. Only problem is that...

RE: It may be fiction but the sentiment is right o There was an incident the other day when 12 returning soldiers from Irag boarded a plane here in the US. The Pilot made an announcement about them. Everyone applauded,the pilot said" I can't hear you,then there was whooping and cheering,best...

I don't remember making that comment that only brokers can offer you loads,are you sure it was me??

One possibilty that might work is have 3 drivers assigned to the truck. That way one of them is always off and you keep a team running 100% of the time minus layovers and breakdowns. Home time for the drivers would have to be erratic based on the trucks locations. Splitting the revenue 3 ways...

I know the Service Manager very well at Tom NehlF/Liner in Jacksonville. One time he said to me ," The salesman will sell you the first truck,I will sell you the second". Very true words.

I usually get 180-200 out of the steers. I consider I 10 in LA to be one of the worst roads for knocking out your alignment,also any of the Expressways in NYC can give Detroit serious competition.
