    didn't mean to direct that at you personally, Mack. I think I left out a comma or something. My apologies

    Estes is cheap? Well then they haul cheap freight. They are not on time? That means they are cycling late. Do you have damages? Maybe its a packaging issue. You want it to be on time? Choose more expensive LTL carriers like XPO and FedEx Freight. I'm not sure what your problem is other than you are self inflicting.

    @MACK E-6 have you ever pulled doubles? If so you have any tips as I'm moving to a carrier that hauls doubles.

    I do, once in a while when I do an extra linehaul run on the side.

    What would you like to know?

    @MACK E-6 on the turns I would like to make them smoother, I'm still thinking as I'm hooked up to a 53ft. I would like to break the habit on swinging to wide.

    Don’t act like that is a bad thing. If the room is there, take it. You never know when you might need it. :)

    Otherwise, getting that feel will come with time.

    @MACK E-6 reason I'm asking the guy who gave me the road test, he was a bit too much i.e too tense and wanted me to drive his way. I just politely told him I'm already used to driving a certain way so I guess he got a bit upset.
