    I see a lot of flatbed or step decks with three tractors on them sometimes John Deere sometimes others but I have never been able to get a lead on as to where these loads are coming from and who is brokering them? Any info would be appreciated

    Took the words out of my mouth.

    Warerloo pays a bit better. Particularly for the o/d machines.

    If your interested in equipment and decent rates... go east coast and hang around the ports. Balt, Norfolk in particular. Twic helpful.. but enough in the rate to pay an escort service. Norfolk, Jacksonville and Savanah ports allow twic scabs near the entrance.. you can negotiate how much to get them to escort you in. Balt they are not allowed to meet you at the entrance unless you are over size and coming in. At least not at the Broening port.. not sure about the others.

    Yep rates suck. Make more money not cranking up and sacking groceries. Only time I haul JD green is on the way to a tractor pull.

    Hold on hold on hold on, you can't just post something like that then leave it. What are you pulling?

    Has high compression Pistons, stock bore. Pulling mag. Still can use in parades. Also have pressed steel 16.9 38s. Did away with cast centers to save weight.
