Yep...and of course, many leave the business or whatever. The one I'm thinking about wasn't struggling though and even seemed to be looking forward to the future although he was a fairly new poster. I'm going to check up on him if I can. I know we traded some pm's and I think he even called me...

Always a shame. I wonder how often it happens and we don't find out about it. I've been curious about another member who hasn't posted in a good while, used to be a regular.

They fell from grace right after Greg failed there.

I'll guess....$750?

Well, if ya got it, flaunt it...what I was told..lol....pallet licker :)

I guess your definition of net gain is different from mine. My definition would include all of the negatives and the positive. I guess my larger point is. When did we become a nation of whining, moaning sobbing little school girls? Take the bad with the good, grab your boot straps and swallow...

My opinion is I dont want to lease to a carrier that makes rules over and above the federal regs. Having to worry about starting the clock....in a van...is truly stupid.

No pictures....please. As far as the pallets....like I said. It's a non-issue. What Ive got will maximize everything I have available so from that point either it fits or it dont. I'll be about 50-3/4 wide, same as the wheel wells. Thanks for the input.

Are you serious? Guess I left that out of my calculations :D pallet licker :D

Yeah, I do actually have a few extra inches on each of those load lengths. Varies from about 4 to 6 depending on the position. Chris, I will. Mine is fabricated from the rear doors to behind the seats. I wanted a bulkhead behind the bed and movable. It will have some weight to it, so it's...

BS .... a net gain is a net gain regardless of how small or how large or how it came about. That pretty much applies to every response you just made. IMO of course.

True. Thanks. BTW...if I call Highway Star a pallet licker....is that a bad thing? :D

460-200=260 260/7= 37.14 mph Those numbers don't make sense somewhere. No time issue reason to transfer a load like that and I would have a serious problem with it unless they had an actual, defendable reason. BTW, Just noticed your from West Plains. I'm just south of ya in Cherokee Village...

Hey, that might explain this problem I've been havin..... :D Good info as always. What I'm worrying over is a moot point anyway. Asking about it was useless. I'm sitting here thinking about how I've got it laid out and if I did just go for the 12', the 14' capability would still be right...

My "area" is going to be adjustable. Current configuration, I'll have: 8' cargo + 6' sleeper OR: 10' Cargo + 4' sleeper OR: 12' Cargo + 2' sleeper OR: 14' Cargo, no sleeper.

While I'm on the doom and gloomer subject. Somebody explain this to me. It's not been very long ago that one of the biggest things you heard about China was how they were intentionally de-valuing their money so that we could not compete with them. Well, now that the doom and gloomer's are...

Honestly, I don't know...and I don't care. If the combined cost of producing and importing their product is greater than the cost of producing the product domesticly (regardless of why or how that occurs), the products will be manufactured here. My point is that everything doesn't always have...

Ok, I'm going to finish out the CargoMax bulkhead this weekend. The way I have it setup now, I'll be able to have 12' 6" for freight when I need 3 skids. I could also set this up in such a way that I would have app. 165" of space when needed. With that, I could carry 4 - 40" x 48" standard skids...

So what happens if the price of imported goods rises and the cost of shipping Chinese made junk to the US rises? Does that mean at some point, it will be cheaper to manufacture products here than over there? I sure hope so.

I think it was last year during the NCAA finals. I picked up a load of t-shirts in KS just after KS had gotten beat. I was at a freight forwarder's dock. I mentioned that it was kinda cruel, not only did they get beat, but now they have to give up their shirts. He laughed and says "you don't...
