Danny, "If they will stick it to one contractor,they will stick it to another weather he is delivering on a bicycle or a $200,000.00 truck." And there you have it ! When honesty as a value becomes unimportant to a company there isn't really but one direction they are headed. The reason is...

Steve, Got it - that's sounds like it's as it should be ...... at least in my book.

Lawrence, Will you be updating the picture in your sig ? ;) Seriously, Very Well Done !

obviously the carrier will absolutely do whatever the carrier can do - to load the cargo van first, because under most circumstances, it only means a bigger profit for the carrier. Steve, Unless the carrier pays the o/o by fixed percentage of total revenue of the load - in that case it would...

Terry, "I predict they will be a short-life-span carrier." Well I dunno what you consider a short life-span. ;) but the carrier in question has been in business (incorporated) since the early 90's ....... That's nearly not as long as Roberts ... but it ain't no flash in the pan either. The...

I know that the carrier we're currently with (just started with actually) has a policy of not overselling their customers as far as truck size goes. IOW, Dispatch will make it point to find out exactly what it is that the customer needs and then provide just that, given a truck is available of...

Ken, Great info - thanks !

Companies who have it as their policy to outright lie are in for a world of hurt in the long run. There is a reason why the subjects of ethics and morals exist - and it isn't because some folks who had some time on their hands decided they wanted to become philosphers.

Si hoc legere scis numium eruditionis habes No I'm not. :P

My question is Who pays the higher rate, The customer or the carrier? Well the carrier of course ! ;) ....... syeah, right. Here's the problem as I see it - in trying to cover all potential loads and areas (all things to all people), some carriers have too large of a fleet to support - given...

RE: be united,chalenge dot low's,if you do not lik I believe there is a Senator from Colorado,Ben Thompson that was a Owner Operator at one time. The name might be off somewhat. Would it have been Ben Whitehorse Campbell ? Cool guy.

From midnight to 3 AM I was heading up I-75 with a load (my first) to just north of Detroit. I passed a total of seven 2-vehicle collisions in the area from the MI state line to the Detroit city limits ...... where they finally had some salt on the roads. There were also another 4 vehicles...

How dare FedEx just place this package full of valuable items "inside the door"..!!![/b] I dunno whether you're just kidding ....... or actually are serious ....... In case it's the latter, let me enlighten you: Fedex Home Delivery, which is a division of Fedex Ground, is what I will...

>Am I wrong in thinking that 16" tires with engine RPM's >being the same will produce 10.9% better fuel milage than a >14" wheel? I dunno if you are correct on that or not - there's probably some design/performance efficiency thing going on there that may or may not make it entirely directly...

and by keeping their following distance such that the angles of view are increased over what the view is when tailgating. My first thought when I saw the image was if this product does anything to encourage following closer rather than further back it's risks might well outweigh it's benefits.

they sent me a copy of what appears to be a title (can't remember the name of it) showing Alumi-bunk as the 1st owner Quite possibly a "Manufacturuer's Statement of Origin - it's what one uses to get a title when the vehicle has never been titled before.

Looks like they even make a cover (three models) designed specifically for Fantastic Fans: http://www.maxxair.com/Products/Fan-Mate.aspx

Lawrence, Thanks for the pointer to the site - looks interesting. On another note I was looking out the kitchen window at the Sprinter yesterday morning as it was idling to warm up. It had been running for probably at least 30 minutes so I know it was warm inside. You could see the areas I...

What would intrest you to enter into this? Freedom - specifically the freedom to choose when, where, and what we'll run. Whether or not we are in service or out of service. Freedom to take some time off when we need or want to. Are you financially well off already? I wouldn't say that we...
