    Got my wish. Back with A. Blair.

    Rates, if it works for one it may not for another. One who critizes is also known as a know it all. I am often asked what do you get per mile? When I answer and get that (deer in the headlight) look, I know. Let me guess you get over $5.00 a mile and never go to NYC. Or I get the WOW...

    New Truck Tires

    Suggestions from other drivers Tractors and 6 wheelers. DO NOT PUT RECAPS ON EITHER OF THESE. Trailers yes. The damage they cause when they let go is not worth the small savings up front. $1,400 for rears is close and probably another $600 to $700 for steers, Bridgestones.

    OOIDA membership vs ?

    I have talked two other drivers into joining and am still talking to two others to join (Larry come on). No matter what field of work one makes his living from one should be a member that encourages growth for the better of the industry. Ours is OOIDA, glad to be a member.
