    @R.Hagar is in a heck of a rough patch, possibly on the verge of bankruptcy; and you reply "ding ding ding we have a winner"? Nothing to help, no words of encouragement, or anything to constructive? I don't see how he is a winner here.

    Do you just troll and look for negativity before you chime in on posts.

    Where I come from we help fellow brothers in need.

    Brother I'm here for you, and if there is anything I can do to help - please let me know.

    You can't be out there making pennies on the dollar like that, especially if your truck is falling apart. Let's focus on how we can help you get back on track, instead of the world falling a part like it is - for you.

    I know that terminal you're at has some of nicest people's in QC, but "out and backs" as an O/O are not helping you. The reason I mentioned Corp terminals is because the other DB guys I keep close are at Corp terminals and they are doing really well - and they are enjoying the journey. If not come up to 750 here in Joliet, we have a great team here. They run you when you wanna run, and they get you home when you wanna get home. Our affiliate owner is trying to get to at least 50 trucks.

    I can't let a fellow brother suffer.

    I don't work for qc but I hear the same thing about the db trucks at the loading racks.... Now I can't lie they do look good but at the end of the day it's about the money!!!! Fwiw I'm based out of Houston and some of qc terminals require trucks to scale 45,500

    Absolutely no argument about pricy good looks.

    I can scale 46,400 when I need too; but the money better there for that. Lol. It's funny, because a lot of places say I need to scale 45k, but no one ever seems to put in more than 44,500. Most loads are closer to 44k.

    Stay safe on the docks, my friend. If you ever see my Emarld Green 386 - come and say hello.

    Yes with half a tank of fuel, that is why it better pay a premium. I do not have a pump on my tractor or a hose rack. I keep the hoses in the trailer tubes. I loaded last Thursday for a 160 mile run that paid $850 plus fuel and tolls because I was able to load more than 45,500. The customer needed a day cab, because they wanted to ship as close to 47k as they could. They loaded me with 46,360, and I used their scale to axle out. Trailer and drives were #### near 34,000. Being that close I sat for a while to get a calm reading. That is the first time, I'd been asked - but I was in the right place at the right time on that one.
