I think the best help you can give the homeless appearing family in an auto would be to either help them get to a church or other social agency willing and capable of giving them long lasting help and support, or getting a social helper to the family. Most every truck stop has a ministry phone...

A 4 d-cell Maglite would help you see in the dark. If you think that maybe you might possibly be alergic to bee stings, that wasp and hornet spray will shoot about 20 feet. A tire thumper might be better than a bat or other implement not normally found in a truck.

The worst of the panhandlers are those that put on a ball cap with an expedite carrier logo and seek out drivers from that company to bum a few bucks til they get a run and an advance. Thinking they are family, of sorts, it's easier to help them than send them away. I haven't been stung by...

Roly & Bigg: Ateam and KW hit the nail on the head. I have often used the sports team/expedite carrier analogy many times, particularly in the early days of expediting. The driver who left our company always said he made the right move, even when nothing materially changed or his condition...

Tom: Some put lot's of info in their sig line and others choose not to do so. I notice you don't, perhaps for the same reason as many others. I think many folks are on-line infophobic due to all of the negative stories about invasions of privacy by on-line crooks or pleasure seekers. Perhaps...

One of the better expedite carriers with which you will do well on the east coast, in any size truck. That's my opinion and that's the truth.

Your payload capacity is less than 3700 pounds minus any added weight other than a driver and a full fuel tank. I suspect any additional revenue you might get for carrying more weight than design specifications allow would be offset by repair costs. Try advertising your eqpt in the free...

Capt: I don't like E-Track on the floor, but many others do like it there. It's always dirty in the slots and I'd worry about an errant skid nail or the broken leg of a 1500# metal tub fetching up in on of the slots too far forwad for a towmotor to reach. If you must, consider 1/2 inch...

Ohiostomper: A very hard working one truck expediter can achieve a net of $1300, but he would not have much of a family life in so doing. You didn't mention children so I assume you have none and you didn't mention a desire by your wife to leave her job so I assume you'd be truckin' alone...
