By all means> Read back, and join in. It will be some interesting reading. But, bear in mind, most of what you will learn is, how NOT to do it.

Tex, it does not appear you have a dilemma at this point. BUT, if you put a truck on the road with the intention of putting a driver/s in it so they may pay for it for you, you certainly will have. Jes my 02.

Nearly happened to me ten years ago when I purchased my 330 pete. Bought it from a dealer in Rockford, il. Day or so before I wuz to pick it up the salesman called and asked how I wuz going to pay for it? And, I replied company check. He stated that they would only accept a bank draft or such...

I'm with you davlees, more power to em. But, I tink now I've really, truly heard em all with this one. BUT, i'll keep y'all posted if'n a mo bettah one comes up. Anyone wanna bet it will/won't happen?? Maybe we otta start a pool of somekind?

Yes. An i'd shurs as heck rather be in Calgary than LA. Try it, there's some good times there. Is yer math ok? Or, yer calendar diked up? There is a nuther prospect fer ya Dave.

He he. Yep the ones mentioned have all had problems I guess. Like everyone else. Jes cause they be big don't mean yer check won't bounce. Jes don't sign on with the Witch company, eh P

What'd pilgrim say???????? The biggest of the big have all had to be bailed out. The smallest of the small have not. Am I missing something here?? Or, is this a normal mis-conception of how tings work in real life? Believe i'd be prioritizing with a somewhat different grading...

Moose, i'm sure there was plenty of planning and coordination with other carriers BEFORE those type services were offered. Ya jes can't wake up one day an decide yer gonna provide "pie in the sky" with your assets, no matter how big you are. Very unlikely to happen, unless it would be in...

Chappy, seems like that is kinda "woe is me" tinkin. You can look at it as competiton or, opportunity. (glass half empty - glass half full) Because there will be many opportunities that they simply can't cover. Ya jes hafta let em know ya can help out and communicate equipment locations. Is...

That is a good analagy nite. I never thunk bout the work'in 2 an hid'in 2, but it sure fits a lot of mo's, for whatever reason. Many of you "no pay" bemoaners will never understand until you have tried very hard to create a win/win for everyone and continually get slapped by people that...

Very good suggestion there Moot. Did I read that someone refused a load because of umm tape residue on the box?? Jes when I tink i've read it all - - an then wala! This is very educational, I learn something quite a bit on this site. Still trying to decifer what it was I learned on this...

Well i'd say it's the same ole push-pull story. A living wage is one thing, even if it don't afford the toys as well as a living. But, going roast goose hunting without any investment or other comittment is not going to work very long. It appears to me that Carriers like schneider gave it the...

Jes guess i'll haft start tweaking and wait for the ka boom, an if that happens i'll jes git me one of them 440 hemi crates. That outa wake er up. Keep ya informed. That might be cool a 3500 flatbed on the "juice". Hmmmm?

"Distance from home"??? Sounds a bit suspect to me. Believe you'll find, distance from home to the office in this business will make little or no difference in the grand scheme of things.

The dually ratio is 4:10. Don't expect it to be a rocket sled, as it prolly never will be. But, the difference setting in the driveway when ya goose it is really telling. There is considerable time lapse between when I ask for it, and when I get it. Throttle response jes isn't there. I'll...

Piper, he's in a straight truck. Depending on his height, may be problematic. Moose, if yer going to be at Javits, why not drive it to Brooklyn and park it where you are going to be?? It'd be bout the same horseing round, an freight might/would be better ther than Jersey. Chances are...

Yes, it is a 5.7/350, and it resides in a 3500 Dodge cab and chassis.

Thanks. Guess i'll have to get back to the drawing board, an try to figgure a way to wake mine up, jes seems to be real tired compared to a friends magnum.

All info is good info for the thread. I'm more interested in 5.7 Hemi outcomes. My research has seemed to say that a chip is effective with an automatic but not so much with a manual trans. Mine seems to lack response, thus the question bout the throttle body. I understand it wouldnt do much...

It's not mebbe a good idea, it's absolutely a good idea!!
