Almost 700 miles loaded. But it's a one and a half day load and puts me in a great area after it delivers. Not going back west unless it's really...
In Seattle. The spot market is dead. I'm deadheading 1400 miles for a $3/mi load next Monday. Not screwing around with sub $1 a mile freight. I...
What everyone else said. You're out of fuel and you drained it back to the tank. Pressurizing the tank is the easy way to do it. You bleed it, not...
This is fairly common for small brokers. If you can't float just one load for 30 days is also a bad reflection on your business. I do QP on most...
There's many places that won't provide a pallet jack. So unless you carry one you have to pay the lumper. Or must have steel toes, or a hard hat,...
My 2013 utility came with 18 inch rub rails. Definitely get them. I've seen enough scrapes high up on them that without them that would've been my...
Everyone complaining about nursery loads did them too cheap. Figure 3 deliveries per day on your rate. Figure your cost and time to get cleaned...
I don't believe the hype. Rates were down for a while and there's a glut oh trucks on the road. The only $7/mi loads you're gonna find are 100...
But the current rules that 390 to 399 are suspended except for drug testing insurance and former out of service orders for certain shipments. So...
Unfortunately, round trip to my house would've tacked on almost 400 miles. Since the load continued away from my house. Not a huge burden but...
It's not the receivers job to note product that's not theirs or not in the bills. If it's a multi stop load, do you think they confirm the...
I went the old trailer route for my first one and you get what you pay for. I had constant problems that were so costly, I bought a new trailer...
Oh. I did have my tractor plate actually fall off while driving in West Virginia. Not sure where precisely but it was there that morning and gone...
Last two weeks: 800mi load, $4000* 2000mi load, $4300 That was it. Both loads were reefer, total miles driven not just loaded. That * is because...
I'm at 1700/quarter for my policy with Daily. Reefer with reefer breakdown coverage as well. Policy is 8 years old now. Older truck and trailer....
Had this happen many years ago. 07-09 time frame. Picked up a loaded trailer from a customer in Laredo and was headed to California. The trailer...
If you owe it on your return, it means you didn't pay it at the pump. At the end of the quarter, you're going to pay the same amount no matter what.
This is a fun argument that crops up from time to time. I know when I was in school with CR England 7+ years ago, they told everyone you had to...
I detoured that. Took US11 through Bloomsburg and out toward Danville. Road report was something big and bad happened. Sad to see it was a...
Yeah, that seems strange. Especially since bottled water is such a stable commodity. So some of the bottom pallets crushed the tops, it doesn't...
