maybe this is off topic, sorry. Broompilot, OK so I am wondering about your comment, “Some things were winners (big savings) others were a waist of my hard earned $â€. I would like to know in your opinion what these were/are so I and others can plan our trucks out. Thanks

>How does a guy know, or, how can he find out exactly where >the boards are, and where do they intersect? Well the way I saw it was that there really is no real regional board where there are intersections of freight but different brokers have different boards. The thing I took away with my...

You know I read OOIDA's article and something did not look right. I understand the issues surrounding the OOIDA and the teamsters’ position but because the OOIDA and the teamsters may not have sited any of the studies that the DOD and DOT have done in the past, I think is part of the reason...

>I think it is a combination of driver shortages and many >buying prior to the 2007 emmission trucks. Hey Dave you brought up a good point, what will the effect of the new 2007 engines have? Not to go off topic but this maybe why i am seeing a lot of trucks on the market with 500K from some...

Red Flag <<<---- Sorry but if it is true what you said “They are usually too busy or transfer me to another person to answer questions.†than I would really reconsider Panther ii. Something about this thing of being too busy to answer questions just is not conducive to establish a good...

Well I am wondering how you determined he was going 62.7 MPH? As one who hates being flashed and think it is stupid to do so, I do find his response dangerous and stupid and think you did the right thing. I try very hard to pass and move out of the way ASASP, but the other day driving down...

This is my take on this. There are a lot of companies out there. Selecting one is about your needs, not the company needs. Take your time and talk to as many as you can before considering any of them. Read their ads, go to truck stops and ask questions. Write a bunch of questions to...

You know ddperki you bought up a good point, naming companies. I know this is a bit off topic, but I think it should be added here. Many don’t want to name a company simply because they don’t understand the differences between defamation and slander in addition to reading disclaimers about...

I have to ask, do you want a generator or an APU type unit? (An APU as defined for trucking has an A/C compressor and 110 generator) I know that many would disagree with this, but as I am planning an emergency communication truck for a non-profit, the use of a generator, not an APU made more...

RE: Greetings All, from a Newbie Wannabe Carrier-O Ok I really don’t want to do this on Christmas but I think someone should say it; look around, think and think again. Unless you know what you are doing you are going to fail, which is something I really don’t want happen. I don’t want to...
