Another vote for TAFA here it's where I take my truck. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

That's what I was thinking. Hard to believe he would "play around" like that. It's one thing to spin a car around. It's another altogether to try and bump someone standing there in the track. He's not that stupid. We may never know what happened. My guess is Ward probably slipped. Was...

Tony Stewart is a professional. What happened was a tragic accident. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

You guys must be dispatched so internet is more of a luxury. For those who self dispatch reliable internet at the drop of a hat anywhere, anytime is a necessity. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

My truck is mechanically sound in A#1 shape but could use a professional paint job. Clear is peeling off in spots on top of the hood and already gone on top of the sleeper. $10k probably wouldn't cover the job entirely but almost would. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

That would be my vote also if you need reliable internet.

Sounds like fun! Went to my first race last fall - Atlanta. Had a blast the only thing that ruined it Mark Martin was wheeling the 14 and Kyle Bush won. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

So it's on the up and up if a carrier takes 35% off the top and uses part of that money to cover cargo and general liability? But if a different carrier takes 10% off the top and charges back to contractors it's not cool? What's the difference? If you're leased on at a carrier you're paying...

This is good advice right here spot on.

I never played traffic cop in my 18 and always hate it when others do. If you will notice that by allowing enough space between you and the vehicle ahead of you, if everyone did that, things could seamlessly merge without stopping. It's the drivers with "like hell you're gonna get in front of...

Because you're so limited in what you can haul. That's not a comment on the size of your freight. It's about the limited kind of market you serve. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

Don't know how anyone does it profitably in a small van or even a straight limited as they are in the freight they can haul. With TT this is relatively easy to pull off if one lives in the southeast or midwest. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

I'm switching over to big road soon. DDL was a good thing the past few years though. I liked it. Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

I've done enough $4-$5 a mile on 400-500 miles straight thru in a 53' dry van hauling one little pallet or less to know they can't always find a cargo van when they need one for whatever reason. Those loads don't happen all the time but when they do :-) the solo operator in any segment is not...

Maybe because UPS has never been a weak company teetering on the brink? Sent from my C811 4G using EO Forums mobile app

I saw a Mercer truck pulling UPS doubles a couple of days ago myself and thought it odd for the time of year. Nothing's unusual about it during the holiday rush. I guess they're in a crunch like everyone else and have no choice but to use outside carriers. UPS teamsters are not what they used...

Re: Threat from trucks and sleepy drivers on decline in N.J - See more at: http://www When they limited 34 hour reset to only one per week it reduced hours available to work.

There are a lot of o/o out here not really trending with rates hauling for what they did 5 years ago or whenever. That's really on those o/o for not staying on top of their game. People looking for capacity and connecting trucks with customers who need them know what's up. And they don't like...

June is always good. Get it while you can.
