    Dispatch Rules Change, for the Company

    Howdy action, I didn't feel you were whining, and I agree with you. I had a similar problem so I asked the billing dept. about it and they told me to ask the dispatcher before I accept the load, well that works with some dispatchers but I got this reply last time I asked " Do you wanna know...

    D unit vs. B unit!

    If you are going to purchase a D unit buy a used one or a repo or even a class 8 and have it stretched(this I am told runs about $2500 plus van body which good used ones start at about $2500-3000). A good advantage to a class 8 is they are made to haul 80,000lbs so when your only grossing say...
