Like Jeff types, jes trying to have a bit of fun with y'all. I'm in Alaska, it's bout five zero degrees and raining, sooo, it's puter time. Thanks for the large compliments Leo, I really appreciate them but, after a couple exceptional careers, I really don't need to impress anyone any longer...

Dave, seems they are not buying the machine, it's a slip seat. If you are getting a lot of "come backs" there mypie, might be time to consider going for it. And for the original poster, checking history on equipment that has been "managed" by other drivers IS totally worthless. Jump in, go...

Well folks, if'n this post isn't asking watca tink, then there will never be a post that will. And if'n you tink dat watca tink is not important in expediting, please tink again. Each of you have asked your dispatcher watca tink. If you have not asked them (anticipating they are worth a...

OMG, went from watca tink to what's under the Kilt in a few threads. Maybe there Caffee you should just let em digest and attempt to implement what they heard a few dayys ago, an if'n they need a refresher or further education -- ask in about 6 months. Otherwise i'm affeared they'd jes be as...

Greg, weren't with Landstar-- but, if'n you really want to know how to spech a CO to CARRY 34,000 legal in ANY State, have 18 skid spots on the floor, an doo all the tings a truck should do to make it's driver money--ring me up. I'd be happy to help.

Knik, Alaska at my son's log cabin on Fish Creek catching lots and lots of very large Salmon. BTW, there is a fedup D unit i've seen around Wasilla. Is it with anyone reading?

Fedup usta pull that crap. When they supprised me with a swap, i'd jes tell em yep, be happy to, only we are going to swap somewhere at the 75% mile mark, steada the 35% mile mark. It' harder for them to find a unit to take 25% of the miles versus 70%. Stand your ground, or like Moot, travel...

Does not suprise me a bit. NLM has/had just a bunch of bean counters (employees) who were not gamblers. Believe me, when you pull someones "fat outa the fire" they NEVER forget it. As it should be, and, FACTUALLY IS. It will be personnaly satisfying to me to observe a few "Ma &Pa's getting...

Actually Bullrush, that is not nearly as large a problem as you imagine. I only had to use my partner Carriers once for a breakdown problem, but, rescued several others during the years. The alliance I wuz involved with had over 6000 units available nationwide. Waaayyy more equipment...

Dead head 80 miles to park???? Get back!!!! You may want to consider parking around the Javits if the load count warrants staying on the island.

It appears Joe that you are so soon fighting the same old dragon that wuz the nemisis for so many Independant type folks. Looking at things that improve your personal satisfaction level, steada look'in at things that improve your position.

Remain flexable and agile toward any and all opportunities. And, be vigilant for opportunity that betters your position.... not an opportunity that betters your home, rest, family, sightseeing position.

Yes, good post Tom. Betca those the folks that you type about have real 20/20 vision in hindsight these days. I know the ones that figgured I wuz crazy do. But, it's made them better in a business mode, and when a person mode after their bump. Builds their character a bit I guess. Problem...

Yes and, UTIW a NON ASSET and NON DRIVER (yuk) based Logistics organization is priced at $11.10. Should say something about what the tools are worth that make things happen.

Ark, It took you a long time to decide to go for it. Prolly many are the same way. Looking around, and learning. Many tho, won't take the step, because it's a daunting endeavor, and way too much work. Also, the big umbrella is very comforting to some, regardless of what it costs them.

I wouldn't try to place a "payment" value on cost per mile. Rather, you may consider estimating how many miles your vehicle is good for, and what the repair /maint costs will be for those miles. ie. vehicle cost $20,000, repair/maint cost $5,000, total $25,000. You plan to run it 400,000...

I don't ever remember watching a black reach down, or give up something of their OWN to better a nuther black. They always clamored for someone else to reach down, or give up something of THEIRS, to better a black. Yer right shelled one, they will be disappointed when other folk's "tings"...
