load 1

[TonyG]

Looks like a slow day in Gotham city...anyone got a trip yet?

We got a 250 mile dispatch, but when we got there found out the load was in Cleveland, so we got a Dry Run.

Now we are sitting at the J in Walton, KY

 

[transporter]

yes i got a mini but doesnt load till tomorrow but on the positive virtually no deadhead

Happy to see some movement..it's just eerily quiet..

but I've managed to almost finish crocheting a christmas present..had to turn off QVC though...so many temptations...*l*

We need a nickname for the Load one crew. You guys ever hear of the "whack pack" on the howard stern show? We need to slap a name on this roving band of freight chasers who are so galliantly led by a man who wears "those shorts!" All you guys need now is Steady Eddy and Guido to come on over and your crew will be complete. lol

Errr I think you got that wrong ..... its not John with "those shorts" unless of course that is a well kept secret LOL

(ooops forgot to sign Tony out & me in LOL ....EnglishLady)

I think "Those Shorts" should be the required uniform for every driver and office worker....even in January Brrrrrrrr

 

[transporter]

dakota i hope you meant uniform for load1 people not everybody else

Maybe as a way of raising money for charity

How much is E.O. willing to put up?

If the whole world wore them they wouldn't be so shocking

 

[transporter]

if everybody drove a hino would that make a hino a great truck

 

[Dakota]

If everyone lived in Kentucky would it still be a great place to live?

 

[transporter]

no, it would have to many foreginers than. not enough elbow room

Didnt find it on the load 1 website but does load 1 require a CDL for a van ?

Is load 1 taking on sprinter teams ?

 

[transporter]

i dont know about cdl but he said for now only 12ft long cargo space, 3000lb capacity and willing and able to go to canada

Ok thanks. my team driver doesnt have a cdl yet was just wondering if he needed one. Also dont have the sprinter yet but going this week to look at some still trying to find the " right one "

 

[transporter]

i persanally wouldnt own a sprinter. however if you get one pay attention to the newer once some are over 10,000 lbs ie you have to log. second the 3500s you will have to add a raised floor because of wheelwales thus taking most of the advantage [height] over a cargo van

 

[Jeeper]

I been looking at the 05-08 2500 sprinters. I wanna go with sprinter sense we will be teaming for more room. I drive for a fleet owner in a chevy 3500 and dont see teaming in that cramped space lol.

I think this thread has lost its focus.

That's the charm of this thread..it's all about the zany, crazy, hard working folk that run with John..

Or those that want to...

Not really, it just backfired a bit and continued on just like my Model T.
