Absolutely Cheri, i've already experienced that, a few times with some. It's not if, just simply when.

Nah, not yet. Ya gotta whine about it being too slow, too far, too cold, too hot or sumpin before you get to be a real member. Even better yet, whine about someone not giving you an advance for something you have not done yet. Then, maybe. But what do I know, not sure what the criterion is.

Fer git it eot, it will never sink in out there. Tis a funny thing these "Expediters". Regardless of that, Dream Team would be well advised that about any organization worth their salt, can keep the pockets jingling, without having to run 6k a week, but, many outfits have way too many agendas...

"Always" is a long, long time. A long time. I'm kinda wonder'in whatca gonna "hunt" in Monroe,MI. Soup might get pretty thin. I've seen many a schmo that couldn't "git r done" so, the advent of this kinda freight going on Joe's truck is extremely remote. Control comes to mind here. Had...

Our guy was at the J north of Houston today for fuel/shower. He called me and was explaining the sight he had there. Seems there was a fella look'in round the lot for something to lift, and he was serious, had his a$$ pockets full of tools. Well, wasn't long and someone was minus a generator...

Actually it's a strange thing there Chappy, 3.73 versus 4.10 is actually higher. Ie, 3.73 at same RPM has greater ground speed, less pulling power, greater economy (supposidly). Maybe you knew that.

Panter sounds about right tho.

XPEDITER, believe i'll call my organization Monkeyshine crabbing and shrimping Company. For personal use only tho. If you watch your p's and q's, work hard and work smart, you can start your own company down here also.

Got all the way down to 68 last nite in the Keys. Pretty tuff duty. Falligator, would you turn a load down to Miami because you might get hot??? I'm kinda like Turtle, type to me like i'm a child. I'm trying to anticipate what the true cost of that router might be?

riverat, who cares. One less TA is a good thing. I filled my truck ONCE at a TA. The attitude and customer service sucked, and that has been my total contribution to that chain. And my fleet has purchased a lot of fuel over the many years. Leo, shouldn't be too many gremlins at the...

Seems nine months of good running, a fella should have a bit socked away, providing he ran all he could while it was there. Enjoy the break now, and giver *ell when it comes. That is usually the most difficult thing to get across, You can take plenty of time off from this occupation, but, not...

Better have one of those fellas put some glue in the web right away, usually works for us. We got one of thos green stickers Sunday AM, west TN, I-40. Kind of a surprising place, seems to me. But, you never know.

Wow Ark, chill out, read your posts again. Seems like I read them wrong, or, you didn't articulate. In any event, apology accepted.

I agree completely Paul, with the disclosure part, that's not the point with me. My point is simply I will do all I can to move my customers freight, and the truck won't ALWAYS read FOSTER on the door. That is the point. And there is no problem. It is kinda amazing tho to me that most folks...

Cheri, yes you did. Bad truck!! Makes me wonder tho, if a simple rewire, or adding an isolated battery for entertainment things wouldn't make more sense? Economically. Problem I personally have with what I see running needlessly, is soon I won't be able to be somewhat comfortable the four or...

"I spent two days in (sunny and 70) Sacramento last week running my apu" All these regulations are confusing. But, it seems people are noticing the sensless running of things and giving us what we asked for. Regulations. It's too bad, we'll just have to suck it up.

Ark, why do you feel it is so imperative that he inform the customer he is a one horse outfit? Fact of the matter is, if the freight gets moved well---nobody cares. If you think for a second, that even the largest among us don't have to inform a customer "we can't cover your freight"?? You...

We are doing good so far in 08, seems to be plenty of freight at plenty good rates. Just depends maybe on how you go about it. Could depend on if you want to hit a couple home runs then sit at the house for a week, or run steady. Usually there are reasons other than the freight that...

Sad? Maybe YOU don't get it Greg. Aside from the fact that your bible WILL be confisticated, and you must "build" a place of worship, then tear it down immediately after services (to avoid being discovered) in Saudi Arabia, and, while watching the religious police chase "their" people to...

Lets not jump right in there and condem him to failure. After all, he CAN haul anything, from anywhere, to anywhere he chooses (depending on type of authority). That folks, is the doorway to opportunity. Those of you that are encouraging him to "join the herd" are in fact herders, and, misery...
