I found that a curtainside coupled with a liftgate worked way best for us. You could haul box or flatbed (or both), without a tremendous investment, or, the baggage (ins, upkeep, etc.) that a reefer brings. Problem is....finding enough drivers that like to throw chains, straps etc. It's tuff...

Because he can. And, he's got tousand dollah seats.

Would a past NATIONAL Pork cook-out King do???

The poster that started this thread is wondering if business is slowing down in another thread. I kinda wonder if there is a connection?? Or, if it is just a combination of foolish actions on their part that causes dispatch to overlook their truck?? What is that law...something about...

I can't imagine someone jeopardizing their contract with a carrier by leaving a DELIVERY loaded because of a pet. It is NOT computing!! Someone must feel their services are really super. Me tink, the real abuse might come when the pet is thrown out the window at 60mph, fer scratch'in some...

I looked at and actually SAW the hand writing on the wall about ten years ago when fedup got into the ltl business. Many, many shippers are realizing that many trucks can do a just as good or better job than the big box company they've been accustomed to feeding without all the anal phone time...

Hey Star, I represent that remark!!!

Therein lies the problem. The math experts do some theory, but NEVER test their theory, then the schmoes that rely on the math experts theory end up with a crap sandwich. If you don't or have never had a dog in a particular hunt, you might consider setting on your hands, or in a group...

Yes ark they are...many just can't figgure out that.....if you stay in this business long enough, someone WILL beat you out of SOMETHING. And it bothers them, or, still IS bothering them. It's jes way too simple to get.

The apples to oranges facts are in fact when I stop my cabover to rest and have a coolie while watching the news, I can swivel my chair, click the clicker, grab a coolie, and never have to move my a... Now try that with what YOU might envision as a true 110. IF you have not tried it my friend...

I really DO believe some of you are reading "cheap freight" into my "cheap truck" post. Not so Elmer!! But, having typed that, I certainly could have run cheap freight and still had a heluva lot left over on the bottom line. But, to each their own, I could care less anymore how anyone...

pj, you just have to bid high enough to cover the downtime you WILL experience with a dedicated customer. If the customer won't pay the rate needed for a DEDICATED truck, then, leave them alone. Don't complicate the simple, as someone types.

My 11K truck is still going strong and is not affected at all by CARB (it is outside the date time group),( kinda like an antique car) so...the only thing left to mention is the extra twenty inches of "camper" you may have. Believe I mentioned before somewhere, that I do not get in my truck to...

Seems it is like fish...Seems you should just throw a dart there Bently. The "advice" I read on here is mostly "cookie cutter" advice so's if you go for it you'll look like the rest of em out there. Jes maybe, you should distinguish yourself and build something a tad bit different. If entry...

And, tractors were 50 K!!

Don't you read and comprehend Blizzard?????

I'd prolly be setting across the desk from the bozz man Monday AM, if'n it were me. There is a limit, and if you sit down you'll eventually lay down.

Take 1 in, or 50 which turns into new york. It's a cake walk to the mint. Try and remember tho, if you have problems with yer 40 footer, don't slam the sleeper curtains.

I guess I read that as a long time paying customer of this site. If that is not the case......my bad.

EO has been a good gauge for me also. i've had a number of typers here, send feelers to me about getting involved with my business. Based upon their typing, showing their background, socilization, flexability/inflexability, etc., didn't even git on my "short list", let alone git the gate...
