thanks dave, i hope things continue to fall into place so you can devote a little less time to this wonderful business we are all intelligent enough to have gotten ourselves into!!!!!!!

i know what my arpd. is at any given time and know what my goal is for that, it never changes. it is set on the amt. of profit we need to make to be able to follow our business plan. if we do more we make more, we always strive for as much as possible. we tend to rely more on making the profit...

make it 4 on #3, my three are for the wife and i to get healthier. help as many people as we can. move to the next step in our business plan, which is a big one. i sent you a pm mindy.

i agree 2010 is going to be interesting. all should take heed and be as profitable and cost concious as possible. those of you mentioning deadhead, you should all make it your goals to talk to your companies and reevaluate deadhead policies. lets face it most of them suck and pull down the...

first, definatley idle the engine up. dead idle will flat spot the cam. as far as the slobbering problem caused by incomplete fuel burning caused by low temps, try adding a cetane booster if you know you have to idle. raising the cetane level will help the fuel burn more effectivley. most of the...

not to be negative, but it seems that more responsibility needs to be demanded of your drivers. sending in paperwork for loads, keeping track of what is going to expire and servicing the truck are all things they should be doing on their own. they should notify you when the trk. is due a pm...

curious as to what tranny and rear end gears you have slb. mine is a 05 112 also set @ 410/1550 w/the allison 6spd and 3:73 rears. low rolling resistance tires and centramatics up front, 96" slpr and a single axle. i weigh 23,460 full of fuel, all our stuff full water tank the wife and i and the...

i to miss jeff and spending time w/him and his daughter at the last expo was great. he use to call all the time for imput on articles and i enjoyed contributing. i would p/u the phone and say hello and would be greated with, hey man, this is jeff. hows it goin, have ya got a few minutes. always...

hey, they are the ones that said they were going out there to see how it works from our side and how the co. operates from the drivers perspective. you have to expect some type of comments to come from it or the whole idea of it accomplishes nothing. they may get ideas should they decide to do...

i would have thought if they truly wanted the info they are trying to get they would have done this without anyone knowing and especially not knowing what vehicle they were in. they should have got a van signed on under an assumed name so nobody knew who they were. then they could have gotten...

i guess i didnt realize you were close to there wingnut, we get there a good bit. we will keep that in mind and maybe see ya sometime. we will add that to our place to eat list.

that was the problem i was having being right at 12000 empty on the steers. b4 these tires which are a little heavier duty than a typical steer, i would eat up the tread or cup them. thought i had a front end problem but there was none. tires just were not heavy enough for the weight. have had...

just curious as to which brand and what mileage everyone is getting. post trk type, tire brand and mileage. what brought this to mind is my mileage. i have a 05 frtlnr. 112 w/michelan xza3 steers currently w/315,000. tread depth is 8&9/32 at present and i do have centramatics and align the trk...

yes, this is getting silly. it seems to me as i stated before and as it seems keeps getting overlooked. this is a courtesy that carriers provide, while saying this it is also one that the industry has long had a pattern of providing. with pattern being the objective word. so long in fact that...

sent you a pm.

this has all gotten fairly interesting, but what is forgotten is, as has been stated your contract states what will be done and how. now with that out of the way, lets approach this in a different way. the load advance or fuel card program, which no one has mentioned, have long been a courtesy...

had a tstate dispatcher tell me once, after i so graciously explained that i would lose money if i accepted the load that it was ok i was self employed and i could write it off my taxes. beat that one.

Paul underwent gastric bypass surgery approx. 10 to 14 days prior. He developed complications including post operative pneumonia after surgery. These complications along with the surgery made for a rough recovery which was just to much. As you know we were leased to RJR and Paul was a long time...

bright silver metallic and midnight blue metallic, obviously. if we build another one though i think i might consider offing the midnight blue for a darker silver or a different blue maybe even a shade of white but not that standard white. dont know why more people dont build colored trucks...

regardless of the statrments made by both parties, i think most of us o/o would agree that some carriers out there do make special deals to fleets. published proof or not, we have seen the posts on here and some have personaly experienced these actions. not saying this is a case of this, just...
