    Dispatchers?

    My experience with work-at-homes is, the very vast majority don't have the discipline to make it work, at home. They allow themselves way too many distractors, and, they don't want to take the time to get their "sheets" together to make it work for them. Just anuther easy way out, it seems...

    RE: The Bridge Tolls are RE: is yours up or down cheri, problem is, most the folks I have observed use a pusher to "allow" for their "toolarge" sleeper, so they may carry that extra few pounds that will allow a 6500lb payload. (or whatever) Then we have to read about sumpin costing too much...

    Beware when considering "opportunities"

    You know what? It works the other way also. I've been wanting to retire for some time now, and have a thriving business i'd like to find someone good to continue with. For the price of a good truck I have offered a truck, and established business to a couple folks. And, about the third time...

    is yours up or down

    RE: The Bridge Tolls are RE: is yours up or down I guess a couple of you missed the "load the truck as intended part" eh? That relates to extra revenue. If you are not realizing additional income to cover the extra donuts... then take the tag off, or, don't run empty too much thru a toll...

    is yours up or down

    RE: The Bridge Tolls are RE: is yours up or down Y'all wanted a big truck. So.... Leave em down, load the truck as intended, cross the toll booth, pay the price. Problem solved. Ya know, trying to screw the pooch the second time, probably won't work.

    3 fleet owners selling trucks

    Maybe you could ask Broom about the value of the trucks. And, ask how they should be warranted also.

    Truck blew up from oil plug coming out after servi

    RE: Truck blew up from oil plug coming out after s Yes, good luck on your situation. Appears to me your delima is a result of some really astute gage watching. Or, maybe too much SIRRUS, or, that in-flight movie. Don't know how you are going to get around that runn'in her dry.

    OK who did it?

    Thats what I have found with "experienced" contractors. Seems they are unable to adjust to the "new" after they've made the change to the new and different they wanted. It's unfortunate.

    RE Landstar and Thinking Way, Way Ahead

    But, if you are going to RV more than truck, how in the world are you going to keep your acceptance percentages in line with expectations? Could be the quick way to permanent RV'ing tho. Seems there are always obsticles to doing what ya wanna do when someone has the other end of the leash in hand.

    Rated X

    I'd like to have a pair of em hanging off my ICC, but, guess i'll spend the fifty bucks on a whole fifteen gallons of fuel instead. Isn't that a sad state of affairs? Get me a whole hunderd sixty miles down the road, stead of showing chrome.

    Analyzing Freight Slowdown

    Well yes, lets not get technical. But, if most had a couple grand left each week after expenses, maybe, just maybe they'd be satisfied with the outcome. I'm not sure what "big money" means to whom, however, i'd suggest a couple grand sure beats the alternative of working a shop at fifteen...
