I hear the Russian Mafia only charges 15% for a load out of Laredo?.....Large U.S carriers are full of bandits taking 30-40% and whos the bad guy?........

another observation...appears the Russians are quick learners....Yellow cubes are disappearing and PRE 07 sprinters are the IN thing....with their MPG/ no scale issues and dropping off the radar...

the lower you can lower your cost of operation....the lower the price per mile....:)

They are now reading EO.....and following the Legend (OVM) business example and reading up on his words of Wisdom & Wit .......Soon they will be Moving to live in S D so they can enjoy all the Tax breaks and have their WIFE work at home in the Garden and preparring meals so HE can just sit back and count their $$$ while in the drivers seat at Walmart......:p:p:p

Heading out to the rifle range in a few minutes. Going to work on the 100 yard range with one of the AR's. Need to get a reference target. GEE, no truck to mess with my play time! How great is that? :cool:

Not yet...I think they're still cutting bait! :)

We've cut a lot of bait. About tired of cutting bait. Bout dang time for the hooks in the water to ALL have bites. Central OH is letting us down. And Dallas hasn't been any better today. Yankeeland areas moved a couple and Boonieville TX moved one. But DFW and Central OH needs to wake the heck up!

Is it a bad idea? What are the cons from your pov?

depends on what you want to haul?....Pipe, machinery and stuff....or just be a trailer mover?....if you go gooseneck bigger bucks yet....you can invest in a lot of $$$$ and the oil business is ruthless....they expect it NOW....none of this 50 MPH stuff....ASAP means that...LOL

I picked up in Williston ND it was going 1700 miles DIRECT....i said you want it there tomorrow? he replied...NO today, but tomorrow will have to do.....gee whiz....

I find myself a lot more comfortable on the road knowing that I can sleep for a couple hours if needed rather than being under pressure knowing that I cannot stop this vehicle unless to fuel up...I tend to get less tired knowing I can sleep. Idk I think its just a mind game.

I'm not sure which I'd specifically want to do but I certainly have interest in it. Only problem is I have no professional combination experience only personal stuff.

$1.919 a gallon of diesel at Buc-ee's in Baytown, TX. 2 exits west at the Flying J, Love's and TA it was $2.999. So, how many half showers can I buy with the money I saved?
Hmmmm, too complicated.

Hmmmm, too complicated.
