Can you cite the relevant regulation on that? I'd like to look into building a glider. To avoid the ELD requirement, primarily, but also to get...
Thanks again for sharing all that. Really informative for me. Also a little discouraging in that to do as well as you did you had to command such...
Thank you so much for this thread! I found it inspirational. For years I have been dreaming of getting my own truck and running as an...
I'd like to know as well. I'm looking to go independent in the future. Perhaps with a step deck. I was wondering if there are opportunities for...
That's pretty. Flat roof though... One of the many reasons I'm grateful that I'm no longer in the car hauler is the luxury of being able to stand...
Do you have a picture handy?

When I started it the money was pretty good. I watched the rates go down, and the deadhead (and aggravations) go up. I used to enjoy it. But...
Thanks again for all the advice. I am leaning FL. From my experience, I've always liked them. But I had to consider that I was never the person...
Yeah, and I cry when I remember how many of them I saw at the port waiting to be shipped overseas somewhere.
Thanks, but I hauled cars for 16 years. I can say with no hesitation that I definitely do NOT miss it. In fact I often scratch my head asking...
Wow. Thank you for all that. That really helps, both in terms of that list of items and the general premise. That is exactly how I intend to...
