    Something I learned today.

    Find out what the inside dimension is. I thought a 102" wide trailer, it's just 99" wide on the inside. 1 1/2" per side for a 3" loss totaling 99" Right?


    Wrong. I guess there are newer trailers that are getting up to a 101" inside width on the dry vans. I actually had a broker WANT to give me such a load today as I had worked with that office in the past. They called me out of the blue. And it paid decent too. $675 for 220 miles.

    How come you bought a truck (with payments) before you had a place to put it on? What does your experience include? How many years and pulling what? What is it that you desire to see behind you when you look in the mirror?
