DO YA THINK???? That gitt'in off yer azz is tuff sometimes. I really don't want to get started with the storys I have.

I very seldom used truck stops for anything other than fuel and shower. My only advice for a truck stop would be to NEVER park on the end of the row. For the other, I always had a image by the door handles of my truck with the words "I don't call 911", and meant it.

I'd think it would be tempting. I certainly hope you get LOTS of applicants, so you can attempt to pick the fly shi* from the pepper and find a good one. You guys certainly ARE a CLASS ACT, and I ALWAYS enjoyed working with you.

And YOU are putting yourself thru all that WITHOUT freight onboard????????

Go git yousef a 110" Argosy Condo, and you CAN have it all!!

It IS interesting how little contractors and customers know about this business. I have sat empty at docks after delivering, and some major company sent a wayyyy to small truck for a load that had a plane waiting on the tarmac. The shipping lady were having cats on the dock about her...

Don't believe you are missing anything. As a rookie you could plan on those numbers, and as you gain knowledge and ability, so will you gain numbers. I know of no one that has hit this company street running without someone REALLY taking you under their wing as a team mate. It's more like...

Thats it Jack. Slow, steady, test the waters often, don't do anything stewpid, and use yer chains to gitcha outa trouble when you need to. Pretty simple. But I guess others don't see it that way, and would rather lay down.

Service is a given. But, one really don't have to state the obvious when your reputation precedes you. Easy, and git r done will make you successful.

But, service should be expected when you pay for something. Don't you expect service when you pay?? There really should'nt be any reason to have to state the obvious to a customer. Sadly, that's not how it works in real life. When they get burnt once (or enough) trying to be cheezy, or being...

Not me. Anymore. I usta, when I could double or triple em up. But, I wish you'all would cut back a bit, i'm living on a "little" smaller income these days, an the goods are getting a bit high.

Yepper Jeff, easy. Be ready to make on the spot resolutions to their needs, don't give em any "don't wannas". And a few other no,no's that customers are getting tired of from "robots" with a rate, mileage and assesory sheet in front of them. I'd also add git r done.

I've stretched some. They can be a good thing if you avoid some rookie mistakes. Find an exceptional frame shop, stay away from large engines and more than a 10 speed, don't start with a truck that will finnish too heavy, don't try to convert a 28 ft semi pup for a cargo body.

Seems a good answer to me. We all want the freedom, good pay, ability to call our own shots, vacation when we want, etc. And that is the key to good management. Keep the monkey on THEIR backs.

I'd say, if you had anything besides a toy truck to try this with, my suggestion would be to not leave home without it (authority). IF you are dead set on this project, at least try to use equipment you can do something with. As for all the "work" the "experts" have eluded to...well then, if...

Seeee. I already missed a possible candidate. OVM and JuJu, whom seem to keep moving very well while soooo many just sit. As a result of tag teaming the environment they are in.

I'd have to wonder how this'll go. What about Phil and Diane, Layout, ms Layout, Goodtude and team?? Should we nominate someone that actually caused bigger, better things in the biz, or someone that simply moved freight form place to place, and might win a popularity contest. Seems to be the...

BTW, i've got eight pairs of never used chains in the shed if anyone needs some. Ya see...some of my drivers didn't think they needed them also.
