Because he's just havin' some fun like the rest of us. Ark, I unfortunately know your definition AND the Colonels.

Hey Roadking. I've looked over all of the posts, but still haven't seen this mentioned: If you get a class 8 truck with the integrated factory sleeper, such as a Freightliner w/ a 70" condo, you won't have near the problems of leaking, because the sleeper and cab are all one piece. Plus, you...

I would wholeheartedly agree with this statement. While it will still be your responsibility to run legal, many smaller carriers may not have the same restrictions as a large one, ie. 550 mile limit for solo runs. With a larger carrier, the computer may cut you off from that 551 mile run that...

Home: Orlando, Florida Trying to get closed on a house.

What? Newsweek just published a front page deal that the recession is over! It isn't? You mean we can"t trust Newsweek to tell us the truth? What about all of those issues with the Prez on the cover?

Hey Danny. Good to see you back. Still in Flint? Only the customer base of your carrier can determine freight opportunities. Freight forwarder/cartage company and you could kick some serious tail and be home at night most days. Most stuff is fairly light. I did great before everything...

Well, who knows for sure what the effect will be on the industry. First Class has more presence than many know. Just because they don't advertise here.... E-1 is no dummy. They are just putting down lots of roots. Bounce and CGL acquisitions provided roots into the truckload and...

Sittin at home in Orlando, FL. May have a load out today, going to the D.C. area. Just waiting on a call back.

So how many laid off GM'ers are going to be hopping into cargo vans, only to find that their Michigan/Ohio van freight disappeared with their plant closing?

...and what about the carbon footprint of the lithium batteries?

Never heard this rumor until today.

I like CharlesD's idea of gym membership, especially for vans who can get to them easily w/o worrying about HOS. You spend 45-60 bucks for a membership, but you can use it anywhere, and take your shower at the gym. Nice.

I had try to hit me last Monday at Bill's Truckstop near Lexington, NC. Being in an S/T, I like to back it a bit more, so my steers are about even with any adjoining tractor tandems. It's just less noise that way, and it allows a little more room to a trailer backing next to me w/o getting...

Ah yes....deep pockets. I think you and our president are looking for the same thing.....other people's money. What was the line? "The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." -- Margaret Thatcher

Yep. I run solo. I have never run team, so I cannot speak for it. I never quite understood why so many but blindly believe that this is a "team model" business. If anyone believes this, then fine. If anyone believe this simply because that was the propaganda fed to them by recruiters and...

Re: Nayone has their own authority pulling straight truck non cdl freight? *Yes, go for at least a CDL class B, even if the truck he uses in the beginning is under CDL. A CDL license on a vehicle requiring a CDL will be horrendous on his insurance for the first two years, especially running...

I've learned to have everything ready for show, but hand over nothing more than what is asked for. I was stopped at a FL scale house and asked to come in and show my license and registration. I had my insurance, med card BOL, and logs ready to go, but I wasn't about to produce them if they...

I've seen some smaller reefer units on those little 14 ft Isuzu NPRs that aren't so hefty. Of course, I still couldn't answer the question completely. Are you still running your FL70?

Henboy, Whether you use Getloaded or ITS, you're going to run out of available weight before you can haul enough LTL freight to pay your way. I hope there is more to your plan than that. Now, if you had a few local shippers as customers moving expedited loads outbound, you could charge a high...
