Maybe I can help. If you are running a tandem and add a steer axle, you have capacity of 12 plus 12 plus 34, for a total of 58,000lbs (jes to be safe). If your teuck weighs 24,000 empty you could (CARRY) 34,000lbs legal. Butttt..... there are bridge laws that will limit you to 54,000lbs as a...

Ahh, that is good. The casino wuz the real pits a year or so ago. Guess they've made good enough to expand some.

If I remember correctly, that place is nastier than most truk stops. Unless things have changed you don't wanna be there evenings on weekends, cause you'll not be able to git out if you need to.

I read the thread as an observation OF a lady that wuz a fleet owner that allowed her fleet to degenerate over the years by working with associates that increasingly didn't wanna do much good tings. Consequently, the quality of the equipment deteriorated because of revenue shortage and she wuz...

I jes did, but twas sooo good believe i'll revisit that action. Nuther day!!

Ahh, funny I guess. But, many of the "experienced" in dis biz will make references to tings that newbs will not "git" unless ya do plenty research. To "wonder what wuz said" an comment at the same time, really shows the midget in the grey. Background, socialization, experiences all have a lot...

Missy, I read and understand everything I am interested in, or, tink I need to know. IF we have nazis on here wunnering wot wuz typed, maybe, jes maybe they should figgure they don't understand, and leave it at that. Steada bust'in someones chops. Thats all.

Well folks, i'd suggest IF the typer has been round the biz for 20 years, maybe you'd best read it the 4th or fifth time so's ya understand, because of the typ'in or spell'in. Same with da comment bout drunk or uneducated. If'n da fella's been round that long, you may wanna pay attention. I...

Believe I got about 600 buks in it. Bought it 5-6 years ago when I wuz gonna make a camping machine out of a 30 footer.

Seems like that wuz a pretty quick whistle there ref. Really quick!! I guess I read an observation on the posters part. Nothing vindictive, personnal, didn't even mention it had happened to him. Coulda helped some of the marginal producers in this biz, stay in this biz. By learning what...

This biz ain't fun every day. The "paid rv'ers" are still having a good time. But, why put up with corporate america "for a few dollars more"? They'll most likely stay in it till the truks wore out. Then?? Can't imagine being a fleet owner leased to someone is even "close" to being worth it...

Got a 5000W still in the box if'n anybody's interested.

Anuther distraction might be more drivers keep'in book. I spose they (could) be distracted while writ'in book. Dunno? whatca tink? There will always be renegades out there. A story from the good old days of the 50s. There was a fella in my home town in Iowa by the name of B.C. Frye, he...

atm: (and others that the shoe fits) Only a blithering idiot would be stuck (somewhere/anywhere) waiting for the qcomm to beep. If you are, a hobby prolly would be better. Three days? without an offer? or, actually running?? There is a difference! I kinda wonder what folks have done to help...

Seems that's the problem ya got when you are contracted to the larger "self insured" types. You end up carrying the empty bag as far as insurance goes. We always provided trucking liability insurance to our contractors, and required our contractors to secure their own coverage for the...

Why, Oilerman, Isn't yer word worth anything?? (really, just asking) All good tings seem to come to an end, it seems. If your owner is that cheezy to charge you for transportation, then seems he's THAT cheezy. It's jes too bad the way some squeze the nickel till the buffalo craps...

But Greg, it begs the question. The Devil made me do it, ya know.

Problem is here, it seems that some are not "smart" enough to recognize what propriatory information is, and what it means to them. Fact is, ya jes can't give people information. They jes don't know what to do with it. Some need to be the "big man" at the truck stop (info is power), an the...

I seem to be reading a whole lotsa ( I, me, they) with some (don't wanna) mixed in. Seems like a bad combination to me. Why can't you people prepare yourself for the occasional glitch that YOU caused by terminating your mission short of completion.

And we're still getting plenty of exercise on this site. Jumping to conclusions, an such. How in the world are you going to git along if times git tuff, if'n ya git that bent fer a couple a late days??? Remember, in this business, ya gotta figgure what yer gonna do WHEN ya get hosed, not IF.
