I dunno there Bud, yer math is still fuzzy. If'n yer going there anyway, and what he mentioned wuz a Monday delivery, don't ya tink it'd be worth driving the full eleven a day for the weekend, steada six or seven for eight hunnert bucks or so??? just anuther way to put a bit more cash in the...

Some would i'm sure. BUT, lemme ask, why in the world would you want to??

I'm running a bucket truck to Channel View, Tx over the weekend. Seems someone needs one more. Hope there is some fuel. Have been experiencing a number of fuel stops out of fuel across TN and AL. None of the Loves had any in the southern part of TN earlier today.

I'd take an isc over the mbe all day long and twice on Sunday. Why do you tink FL is going back to Cummins??? Got a clue?

By golly, I got insulted a bit the other day also. Lemme type my tale of woe. A couple us schmoes showed up at a upscale motor coach manufacturer the other day to transport a couple of the rigs to a show. The fella that wuz with me and I went to his camper first, and what a palace on wheels...

Now, now, boyz and girlz. I took a LOT of $.68 freight. BUT, I always had room for LOTS more. Lets say, 5 skids @ 1K each went for $.68. There is still room for TWO (2) more $.68 loads like that one. THEN, do da math!! Not real good. But, good nuff to get me outa Eagle Pass on a Friday...

Yepper, i'm typing on generator power myself, from the hoosier state. Had a couple gusts at 80 they newsie people say, an I kinda believe em. One bout tipped me over. Power company says it could be wed or thurs.

John, it's an interesting ting this "can we make any money"? Yes, you can! boo koo money! How ya spose these folks can afford computer cards for ****in round when they got nuttin ti do. Yes, a simple analagy, but, there is buks falling outa the sky in dis biz. Many upon many, have no clue...

I wuz going down Missippi 49 when Katrina stopped me heading for NO. Me tink you could get to Laredo, no problem. If'n ya kan't jes stop, then resume. Be as easy as that.

Neat pix tude. But, boyz an gurlz a clasic example of "take care yer horse, an it'll take care of you", is certainly displayed here!! Looky at all da chrome dat horse financed.

Absolutely!! However, your carriers ability to utilize the extra capacity of that type vehicle will govern if it is more profitable. Look for carriers that have the skills to load multiples on the same trip.

I truly understand bout the hunnert trucks. And it's a fine thing for folks to do..... if'n they are going to be here for the long term, an want a qc stop'in wind for the long term. Maybe, by then (after a long term) they (someone) will have figgured out how ta hook that paid for qc...

Leo, YOU are a math wizard it seems. You need to start a trucking company an help your contractors save ALL da bucks. That'd be a good ting. If'n ya had 100 trucks signed on ya could live off'n tha residual. Almost, if they didn't understand the investment aspect. All this is good tho.

Werent no exception wit me greg. I made da rules what went on the truck, in what condition, an how it came off. It's that "employee" attitude that still stimies things to happen. Or, not to happen.

Nah pj, the drivers didn't "wanna". Ya couldn't even get em tipped off the first step to go pick up a three skid seventy cent load. After all they (only) had room for fifteen more skids. The that's not the way it happens attitude, or, how you "expedite" attitude is overpowering. Many will...

Got to tinkin after my earlier post... Boy would I feel good (NOT) about getting extra point from this clown. Believe i'd have to tell him to keep em.

We employed a flatbed tow truck many a time to get the freight to the ground there ovm. MANY! Way less damaging than opening the door and hitting the brakes in reverse. Not to mention.... easier on the brakes.

Now THAT is a classic example of the phrase "edumacated idiots". And to tink they're paying GOOD money for that edumacation. What school is this anyway??

Sounds to me like the "system" first in/first out that everyone thinks is so precious has gotca. Can you imagine the bs the dispatchers would hear if'n they'd pass over 4 or 5 folks and just offer that 200 miler to someone that would actually run it?? Can't happen. Ya gotta understand...

I understand completely there charles. How'd ya like to have seven (7) ltl's like that going the same direction?? That wuz my record with the 30 footer. Why don't they???? Mainly because of the lack of skills and gumption in their dispatch and driving force (bout covers it, eh), that...
