    Truck shortage?

    Many would have bee there some time ago if.... there weren't the problem of training up the co-driver (read bride) to pull a 53 stead of pulling a 16 to 22. Then of course there is the problem of not being able to have a "taj". That would place us at the same disadvantage as it has wit the...

    update from ctx post

    Believe it's called bittersweet. Take a chance. Columbus did. You seemed to want a change, and, you got one. Sooooo make the best of it, and govern yourself accordingly in the future.

    Need opinion of exp.expeditors.

    You may also want to consider that "amenities" will also limit weight and cube that you will be able to accept. Many these days feel, extreme comfort, way more of a priority than being able to carry diverse types of freight. Probly why they sit for "days". If you have multiple choices, choose...

    Maybe, just maybe, the folks that carry dogs with em, can get some good outa the critter these days if they'd tie em by the tanks. Should be no problem then. Spose?

    New motor breakend

    Wally, sorry bout your loss. But, on the other subject, I had an old timer tell me once, the best way to break them in, is to "load em like a freight train, an, drive em like they were stolen". Hope that helps.

    GE and Iran

    Same story, different decade. We hadn;t lost any aircraft in Vietnam, until some of "our" technology slippped thru the cracks (believe it was a gyro), then we began to loose many. Money has a way of getting things done. Somehow.

    Diesel Fuel or?

    "IF", I were to "try" something like this, I would be comfortable not worrying about the tax man, as long as the fuel was not dyed red. Dark fuel wouldn't be a concern. After all, tax has been paid on the oil once.

    Quite possibly, you could have typed, "not everyone can play fair, and hold up their end of the bargan, honorably". Like tnt did. Makes a LARGE difference in life.

    Dispatch Favoritism

    Vinnie, believe it's called schmoooz. Very few have it, or,can get it. They just can't. It's like absolutely NOT going to the NYC area, period, no way etc. UNLESS you promise your third born and a bucket of gold. Then ALL options are open. What a rouge!

    Permits

    Permit requirements for all Carriers are the same, depending on where you choose to run, and with what. You would apply for, and justify the need for your services with a number of different entities. When successful, you would not be an independent O/O necessarily, but, a Carrier...

    Dispatch Favoritism

    Me tink, maybe, the "percieved" favoritism is real, and, in direct corelation with the length of the "don't wanna list", or, how historically boneheaded a person is from wait time expectations etc. Seen many shoot themselves in the foot, just being difficult most of the time. Be difficult...

    What Truck To Buy??

    Never drove one myself. However, It might just be, the driving versus setting the taterslide, and aiming thing again.

    C vs. D

    don't really tink it makes any (much) difference if yer contracted to someone, what size yer sitt'in in. Myself, we never send a boy to do a mans job.
