    Pet Owners need to watch out for rattlesnakes while in Laredo. We are at the TA & was told that a dog got bit & died from a rattlesnake out in front of the TA on Thursday. I said something to one of the cashiers about putting up a sign to warn people & he just said there's probably a lot of...

    American Idol

    Yes I think Adam is going to win, But I was surprised that Allison got voted off last night! For 17 yrs old, she sure can sing! I thought sure that Danny was going to go since he butchered that song he did. Especially that last note!! But they are all good in their own way & I hope they all do well!

    Weight limits

    If you can haul 12,000 on your steering and 21,000 on your drives wouldn't that make the sum of your axles 33,000. 12,000 + 21,000 = 33,000. So why can't you register it at 33,000. You say I can have 21,000 on my drives the guy above says 20,000, the salesman says 21,000, other things I have...

The salesman tells me that it...

    Landstar vs FedEx or other companies

    Thanks! I really appreciate everyone's input! Also, is it worth the extra money to get a tandem axle or a tag axle & also a lift gate? I would think it would open me up for more loads?

    Landstar vs FedEx or other companies

    We just want to make sure that being newbies we will get enough runs to make the money to pay the bills! What would you say would be an average week? Then I can figure what can happen if I make more or less. I know there is no guarantees in this or most any other business, but if I could just...
