    Jefferson Fast Freight info

    If you're referring to the link that Moot posted, then no sir, it isn't. That is HHDLLC's company. By the way HHD, when I visited the main page of your website, my anti-virus went nuts and blocked all images on the page. Maybe due to other sites hosted by the same company that bear a similar...

    ID, I'm not offended at all. I never made a claim of some big growth. We are interested in finally replacing a couple of folks who either retired this past year or went off into other endeavors. Fleet owner w/ drivers.

    Sounds like you're gettin' schooled on trucking real fast! This is one reason why I've added really sloooooow. It's your core people, inside the office and out, that set the precedent for others. If I considered everyone who ever filled on an info sheet, we'd have quite a size, especially in...

    Lift Gate Lift Axle

    Have extra tires on the ground is definitely nice on a snowy night as well. I even had times where I put them down because the truck was moving too much while I was sleeping.

    Lift Gate Lift Axle

    Are you running local cartage or over the road with that kind of liftgate rate? I guess the next question is, "Do you own the truck, or driving someone elses?"

    New Guy from PA

    Yeah, seriously. Heed what these guys are telling you. $3000 a week WOULD be getting rich in cargo van world. I recommend you rethink getting a local job driving a straight truck so you can continue to raise those kids.

    Changing Times in Expediting.

    Some of those games come from sales folks who don't know their butt from a hole in the ground.....or maybe the difference between a cargo van and a 53' dry van. Some of it starts with the ignorant requests of their customers. Put 35oo pounds on a cargo van, 4500 on a Sprinter. Many have never...

    Changing Times in Expediting.

    I don't think they upped the weight because of the sprinter, they upped the weight to 2500 and beyond in order to get their trucks loaded before the next guy. I believe this has occurred as a reaction to the recession we've been experiencing, not just since 08, but since 2000-2001. In a...

    Balancing Home and The Road

    Hey Preach. You're right. This kind of job ain't easy. I have two pretty brunettes that I like to be home for, a grown one and a miniature one. I was in the truck for quite some time before handing my keys to someone else and just dispatching. For her, the worst part was the trip to drop me...

    Boehner, Cantor Attack Trucking HOS Rewrite

    His underlying goal has a couple horns: 1. make room for Mexican trucks, 2. Repay "safety" lobbyists like Public Citizen who give big bucks to their campaigns. Outside of that, I doubt he has a clue of the implications, nor cares.

    Fleet owners that lease their trucks on with companies

    "what are the pro's and con's of leasing a truck out to a company and is it profitable?" As opposed to what? What's the more profitable plan for you, other than leasing your truck to a carrier? I know we spoke of this MANY months ago, and you had a couple of daycabs you wanted to run locally...

    Carriers and privacy

    Might not be, but then again, if you want them to offer you freight, then you might just need to cooperate. As ChefDennis mentioned, carriers on the Alliance system have the ability to post their trucks' positions. When I look for a van in Burlington, IA, I want to know that the eight vans...

    Carriers the blame

    Once again the blame is laid at the feet of small independent carriers. It makes good talk at the truckstop and with recruiters, but not really the truth. I have been making a point to ask a customer what they get the load done for when we have lost a bid. Not all, but most times it was a...
