yes it is a silly dot thing. a few states have a longer allowable length but but you have to be legal in all. the dot could at least allow us a length comparable to some of the rv's out there

no research needed. rather .25 or .52 just dont do it

you ask for thoughts. i wouldnt even begin to think about it. read into the statement.

that is the one thing i hate to hear any dispatcher or anyone for that matter say. isnt it better to keep the truck moving than sit still. well the answer to that question is NO. i will not just put miles and wear and tear on my truck without at least making the minimum profit i have set up to...

desparado, what truck and what specs, weight. bluejaybee, no not really considering the weight of the truck and the fact that most times i am not putting more than 5k in the box but even at gross of 32,000 its less work than if i was dragging around a extra 1300 to 1700 # that a drop axle...

xdtrucker, you do realize that with the extension to the sleeper you are now down to only a 16' box in order to stay at 40'. you do still have the tandems, correct? who are you planning on signing the unit on with or do you have your own authority? lastly, get the widest and tallest box you can...

not worth the expense and extra plate fee to do it. dont have any desire to run any heavier than the 8000 i can get in the box now. havent ever had a problem getting freight. we still get double loaded. i can count on both hands the number of times i have had a load cancel cause it was heavy and...

i would guess that is a 08 or newer truck and that mileage seems in the park with the gearing i imagine it has. which is a shame it could possibly get into the low 9's with a lower gear. have you tried to slow down a bit to see if that helps. my 05 m2/112 with the 4000 mercedes @ 410 hp and 3.73...

i have seen both sides of the picture, o/o and dispatcher and both need to make money to survive and stay in business. the one thing i wont do as a o/o is run a load and lose money and i dont expect my carrier to leave me set because i wont run a load for a rate that will cause me to do so. if i...

you got that rite. come home for time off the road then go back to get some rest and time to catch up. lol

ya thats what i was saying. since the mi. rate is high if you claim it then you dont claim maint. cost. i agree that in a van or sprinter mi. is the way to go. is the email i sent you going to do you any good ?

are you sure it is N&M and not C&M. if its the latter, then yes. they are a good carrier who has been around for quite a while.

this is always a slower time of year for freight. those that are busy can generally be explained by rite place at the rite time. then again, other companies just simply have some freight when others dont. as far as selling loads, it happens. a company should not broker a load till they are sure...

that was my thought to. if it is the earning tool go with actual. also if you claim mileage, doesnt that keep you from claiming maintenance. for some reason i thought it was built in to the mileage. you can change your claim choice once as long as there is a significant change in the way you...

you might want to check but i thought as a business you were suppose to claim fuel and maintenance not the mileage.

they didnt modify the fender wells. if you look at the picture you can see the tops of the fenders showing through the plywood. you can also see from the picture looking into the cargo area that there is a platform built to raise it level w/the fender wells.

you are exactly rite. i dont have a problem with paying a fee. i just dont think it should be as much as a rv. if you do the math the way j cust. svcs. explained it to me, at the discounted fee of 3$ at 30 gal = .10 a gal to dump. if i dump 2 gal charge me .20 not 3 bucks. but i am realizing...

thats better than it was, but still doesnt make up for the way they handled the whole merger deal. they left alot of people out to dry when they did this thing. the new plan should have went back to at least what the j had before, or if not, 7 days on a shower without 500 gal to extend. i was a...

I think you actually have till the 31st to get them on.

thanks, filled it out. was still getting until may or june. so the mail list cleaning wasnt the reason. in future when you clean and lose some addresses a public note to all might be warranted. that way if stuff stops coming we will all know why. thanks for the help
