You raise a lot of good concerns about the industry in general, but I'm not sure they relate directly to the truck weight. Several states allow...
When I started my research I was thinking the same thing. Buy an organization that's already been operating profitably, and you reduce the...
Okay, I get the opposition to Mexican trucks. Can you explain what's wrong with heavier trucks?
Sounds like a good motorcycle road. You just need to figure our how to strap a couple couches to a bike.

Bill, if you don't mind, could you tell me more about your fixed costs? Your number works out to over $36,000 a year. I'm working on an estimate...
Good luck. Are you going flatbed?
I expected a lot worse when you called it "puke blue." It looks pretty good (other than the mudflaps).
Why do you keep going back to places where the rates suck?
