On a little different use of equipment, ie. pulling my gooseneck camper, I have opted to purchase a Hemi gasser in a Dodge 3500 at the base price instead of springing for the $6000+ Cummins. Couldn't justify the Diesel for my use, and, it would be the same if I were to buy a cargo van.

Yes Joebob, it's an interesting thing that boohooing at the coffee clotches isn't it? Pointing their fingers at everything/one except the culprit. Ah, let em boohoo, and stand their ground. Leaves considerable more for the rest of us.

Yes. And, I also read thhaat the "rank and file" is a bit jjjumpy about it, wonder'in what their future holds. I guess they should'a gave that some figgur'in some years ago. Seems to me Delphi is next.

Any trailer repair shop can build you doors.

RE: FedEx NOT bankrupt, repeat NOT bankrupt.. deta Me too!! But, I don't think it was toes. My quess is the schwantz that you stepped on, as fast as it disappeared. Where where you typing from? That way we can get an idea how big that schwantz is. Wonder'in how you got your foot that high...

I'm still wondering what this "already established Company" means to everyone?

Yep!! Oh well. Such is life. Musta been someone concerned about getting a dry run, or, sumpin. Or, a mini.

Waitaminit. Threads can't be moved??? Agghhh. One thing correct so far, JohnO don't have enough leash yet. Dunno, maybe a fedup/ panter war?

I was look'in for the thread that was being moved to the Jokes Forum. Can't find the jokes forum. Where is it?? Just disappeared. Jew do sumpin bad Leo?

Most people only "think" they want a dedicated run. They don't understand it is in fact "their" dedicated run. Invariably, if the stars don't all line up, or, there are birthdays, holidays, or the wife stubs her toe, they are holler'n for help before a couple months pass. Make sure you want...

We are up about 18% over 2006. But, fishing IS in my near future.

Interestingly, States with some room, like California and other large ones limit a truck to 40 foot. On the other hand Vermont and Connecticut with some smaller real estate and roads limit a truck to 45 foot. Go figure. State limits range from 40 foot to 70 foot, with Nevada allowing the longest.

Ark, if you have a 200K truck to start with, and place 20% down, i'd suggest your payment would be $3500 a month or better, for 5 years. I kinda think the soup would get pretty thin by the end of the month. Whatta you think?

Well, I guess I was crap'in in a lot taller cotton than i'd imagined, when they plopped that $67 cash money (after taxes) on the table for me each MONTH. Got promoted and a raise in pay a couple months later, to $78. Life was good!! And, still is.

Scotty, if'n you are using up most of your present 2K a week, i'd certainly stay where you are at. If you are using half of it, you have a chance.

BTW Jim, nice recovery on that Company bash'in.

Sounds kinda like my old Auto Quick days. They'd beep ya at O dark thirty, on a twenty below night in Detroit, for a 57 mile run to Canada that paid $57.50, and we didn't know what a FSC was. Then when you'd refuse it, they'd wait till you got snuggled back in real good, and beep ya again. And...

Sounds to me you got spoiled when you started this occupation. Living in the Meca of expedited freight. Having the life of riley while the rest of us had to "leave home" to get freight, or, get out. This here business world is pretty dynamic, and, takes no prisoners. Seems now I don't have...

Lawrence, couldn't help it. But, I didn't get my first star, let alone four of the darn things. But, I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago and it's still the same. Rather be in the Bahamas myself. The drive on the wrong side of the road, makes it exciting.

RE: RICH-M Attitude, ol'e moonrocket's got one don't he. Musta been sold a bill of goods, somewhere along the line. I'm not a fan of the Detroit area, but, ya gotta understand, that EACH place you end up every day is not GOOD EVERY DAY, and is also not BAD EVERY DAY. Good things come, if you...
