Security guard recently ran our C truck out of the front to the back lot.He only did this after a RV`er complained.They are doing their best to court the RV business,even though they buy little fuel and only use truck stops to avoid paying at the RV parks.If truck stop operators had any brains...

Glen.Keith Bentz told me he thought your reefer was run on eletric.Could you tell us a little more just how satisfactory this was.Who installed,cost etc.

Glen lets face the facts.A lot of the reason you could park just about anywhere was because of your beautiful show truck.We also have a "c"unit but get a lot of hostility from shopping centers,wall*Marts etc.When you look more like a RV it makes a difference.

Glen`s remarks are right on the money.In addition when positioning a single skid,I have found it best to go around the skid with your first rachet strap and return it to the SAME wall.Then go around the skid starting from the other wall,and back to the same wall.This prevents any movement in any...

Here is another thought I wiil throw into the mix.David Lawrence XM computer Guru says one of the advantages to the MAC is that few virus writers are attacking the MAC.Makes me think maybe my next computer will be a MAC. I presently have a Gateway.It has been pretty good. I bought it mainly...

I can identify with your feelings about running a van.In the 80`s we were home a lot doing auto loads around the tri-state.Things are different now.Less auto business means you need to get out into the system to be sucessful.The new hours of service will help the solo driver.Lawrence was right...

George...Anyone that might be interested in your WS truck might want to convert it to a "D" unit this could be done fairly easilly.When I traded in my "C"International 4700 last year,the dealer stretched it and put on a 22,box. Dont blame you for wanting to get away from logs.I remember how the...

Remember,your truck/van must be under 10,000 GVWR.If you do not want to log and pass most scales.

I cant speak to the durability of this truck,but have you checked with the carrier you intend to run for? Most expeditors have policys about how old a truck they will sign.

You can prob get to Dallas,with any cooperation at all from your dispatcher at all.Then after being at home,its back to Dallas to get back in the system.The more weeks you spend in the system the better off you will be.

Where do you apply for these MSA accounts? A few years ago I made a few inquirys,but couldnt find any providers.I kinda forgot about it until you brought it up.

YES

It's hard to generalize here bt I would say most of the loads are from med to small co in the suburbs.It also kinda depends on what kind of business the carrier goed after IE. Auto factorys,etc.

"C" Loads are the #1 requested size. According to one recrutier. He said most "D" trucks carry 75% "C" loads. you would therfore think C trks would carry a lot of Bs,not so.We rarely get any B loads.Probably because there are so manny vans.

Is it just my imagination, or has the CB radio got a lot quieter since about a million or more of us have satelite.I consider it to be the best addition ever to the truck.WHOOPS...I mean after Carol of course.

Thanks Rich for reminding me about this.I had intended to write the FCC but with all the"Pre-Dispatching"Going on it plumb slipped my mind.Is it not intersting how much reg radio broadcasters have began to feel the threat of satelite.Now that the numbers are reaching the 2 million mark,no wonder...

>have yet to meet one that hopes to be a dispatcher some day I did meet a nice young lady who was driving a van as a solo.She said her dream was to be a dispatcher for Then Roberts Express.I have often wondered how it worked out for her.Her name is Kristle and lives in the Akron Oh area...

The Expediting business started in Akron Oh serving mainly the Auto plants in the Oh,Mi,In,On area. It is for this reason the dealers most involved with setting up these trucks are in these states.You will probably save your self from a lot of mistakes by staying away from dealers who dont have...

>especially if the company pays you >some deadhead pay. > >Good question, > >ABC Yes the co does pay .15 per mi DH for excess over 100 mi.( "C" unit)This is a figure that has not changed in the 16 years I have been with them.I is not subject to the fuel surcharge but certianly should be.

Always Allways Secure Secure...I met a "D" truck driver recently who told of what happend to his first truck.He blamed the fork truck driver for not moving a 2000# skid to the front of his box.The skid was placed on the tail because the F/L was too high to go on the truck.Well this guy procedes...
