My mistake. I've been in a time warp or something. I thought you just picked up in Lakeville yesterday and had until Wednesday July 5th to deliver. Hence my confusing post. But have a nice long weekend anyway!

Work the SS Badger between Ludington and Manitowoc making pickups and deliveries.(insert large smiley face here)

New people also come here and ask very general questions without doing any research. What's the best company? How much money can I make? What's the best truck/van? Why can't veteran drivers explain what they are doing to make it work that will help someone new? I enjoy helping newbies. I'm...

Cabover with a 28' box. Is the Colonel back in the expedite biz?:)

Enjoy the nice extra long weekend at home. Any layover pay?

It depends on the carrier and their business ethics or lack of ethics. A lease-purchase program can be just another source for profit like leasing a Qualcomm unit at exorbitant prices. Back in the day Midwestern Distribution out of Fort Scott, Kansas were the masters of the lease-purchase...

I'm waiting for a Tesla smart phone.

You haul twenty tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store Apologies to Merle Travis.

Running LTL both city and linehaul I had power over how my trailers were loaded. City trailers I could always rearrange the load as I delivered. Road trailers I had to trust the dock workers to load it right. If it was my truck I would be on the dock loading or supervising, no blind loads.

Cameras will not prevent damage from forklifts, only record the damage as it happens. Then you have to go after the shipper/consignee for restitution which could lead to a legal battle and alienation of a customer. If I owned a straight truck it would be equipped with a quality pallet jack...

Nice looking truck! One claim that confused me was: The Nikola One semi-trailer will be capable of pulling a gross weight of 80,000 pounds... I don't doubt this truck could pull 80,000 lbs. gross weight but can it do it legally? I did some quick math comparing the weight of Tesla's 10 kWh...

It all sounds way too good to be true but the statement I'm most skeptical of is: "Also, they meet California emissions with NO POLLUTION CONTROLS." Can one even fart in California without violating at least one CARB regulation?

I'm not sure if this is a typo or misunderstanding of this industry. If its a typo it should read: Who is the best company to lease a van or a truck to not from. In most cases you own the vehicle and lease it to a carrier or you work for a fleet owner as an employee or a contractor. As for...

I'm solo and give my carrier 120". I have a bed that runs crosswise behind the seats. A team could allow for 144" for freight and still have a bed provided the bed is high enough off the floor and the freight is low enough. This setup is a gamble and could result in the non-driver sleeping in...

I believe it was free with no minimum gallon purchase. If I recall, all that was required was the fuel purchase was charged to a Union 76 credit card.

A "SOLD" sign is better than this: .

Yeah, but I use less than 60 gallons. How green is that! Besides, the last time I showered at a T/A it had a big orange ball with the number 76 on it.

According to NBC correspondent Kristen Welker the entire country bears some responsibility. "After one of the most violent presidential campaigns in recent history, questions tonight about whether the entire country bears some responsibility for an atmosphere that has become increasingly...

Even when I take a long shower I probably only use about 40 gallons.
