    More fun in this biz than a barrel of monkees

    A lot of trailer repair shops could do the fabrication for you, especially if they already do liftgate work. They just have to weld a crossbeam across the struts on either side.

    Legal or NOT?

    I'm still trying to figure out why they're ready to sue, but haven't mentioned what their owner had to say about it. They obviously feel that this extra $75 is reason to terminate their current relationship with Panther, and therefore the owner as well. I have a contractor one time that was...

    History too kind to Puritans brutal intolerance

    I usually don't post in this section, but my iPad has this feature that sorts by newest posts. First off, the Pilgrims and Puritans were entirely different groups that came to this land at two different times. The Pilgrims, who came first, we're separatists from the Church of England. The...

    reputable place to purchase a truck

    What was the listed price before you haggled with them? It's not unheard of for them to have million milers priced above 20 grand.

    GVWR for 18 ft box

    So, buying this old jalopy for 1700.00 is cheaper than renting a Penske for a move?

    I looked into Tapatalk as well for my Blackberry, but just hadn't made the jump. I'd be interested to see what others have to say.

    getting in the industry

    Here's the only difinitive thing I can find from FMCSA: 391.11 General qualifications of drivers. (a) A person shall not drive a commercial motor vehicle unless he/she is qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle. Except as provided in §391.63, a motor carrier shall not require or...

    well, it's my turn

    PETA and others won't let them hunt that long. After all, they are the ones paying your Congressmen.

    reputable place to purchase a truck

    I called Bulldog about a truck for one of my van owner operators who was wanting to swap up. I learned a lot from that call. 1. True, the do not want to tell you what the price is on a truck. 2. They don't like people paying cash, probably because they make commission on the interest from...

    Jacksonville Fl to Los Angeles

    There are plenty of "tools" up and down the coast. Most of the "tolls" run through the middle of the state. I'm glad we're paying attention today.

    The $40,000 toilet

    I always had a shower curtain in a van, unless I needed the heat or cold moved to the body of the vehicle. It definitely helped with Florida summers.

    Humorous real ad from e/o

    It's funny to see these fleet drivers complain. Now I know that there are very conscientious drivers, as well as dirtbag owners. However, it always stuck me funny at how those who have the bare minimum to offer, are the ones who demand the most. I can say with assurance, that any service...

    Jacksonville Fl to Los Angeles

    Speaking of Florida tools, I just had the driver in my truck quit this morning. He hadn't even run a load yet. I spent time getting him compliant with drug testing and all. He emailed me the morning he would've initially gone into service and asked me to wait. He then called me and asked me...

    Jacksonville Fl to Los Angeles

    Well, with a Miami to San Fran, if you want to avoid FL tools, it's not many more miles to shoot up I-95 to I-295W to I-10W in Jacksonville. However, it will be more congested than taking the Turnpike to I-75 and up to I-10. Take I-10 west to downtown LA, then I-5 all the way up to 890 around...
