    There is never any moving, spec com, hvp, or logistics related posts. So wondering any bed buggers here??

    I tell myself that all the time. But then I remember I like my $8-13,000 settlements and taking time off BY THE MONTH!
    But I have been weaning myself off. By doing hvp/ spec com/ trade shows, during the winter. Just had a fantastic summer but 29 years is enough. Dont no if I'm gonna go back.

    My best friend owns a Mayflower agency in California. Moving companies kind of stick to themselves. Most of the work is local, and they contract out to O/O's to take cross country loads and drop them at another Mayflower agency.

    Ya i noticed! I was gonna try to get a movers forum started. But looks like no interest. I'm on a bunch of moving FB pages. But when I asked people on thier. They all say TTR is for freight haulers. Oh well I tried. Btw like your handle. Moving is my life. Used to be one of my favorite sayings. That and "we don't run out of service, till you run out of money"

    Did it for 20 yrs local , owned 4 trucks at one point . It sucked , employees sucked and the customers were the worse . Just haul freight now running under my own Authority , most ppl here are done with moving in my opinion.

    That's a great mantra!

    I've seen a couple other household guys on here over the years. I really like this place because I learned so much reading here when I first started. Learned alot about fixing or diagnosing problems on my first truck. I have gotten alot of help when i run into problems on my current truck too.

    I pulled flatbed for a year and this place was unbelievably helpful. You can get alot of knowledge from here for stuff like that.

    The FB groups are really good for info on hhg's. Those groups made me realize how much I dont know about the biz
