Thanks. I love the old two lane roads. If time permitted I'd be happy staying on them. The speed life moves today doesn't tolerate them so well...
No offense intended to anybody or their thoughts or ideas. I have lived in SW MO most of my life and my Mother has lived in NW AR for more than 30...
We haul lots of TQL loads. They all pay well over $2.00 per mile and we have no problems. We sometimes get detention on long waits. They are...
:biggrin_25523: Good one!
If I were going to do this, and I strongly recomend against it, I would look into Lone Mountain Truck Leasing. They seem to be as good as the...
IMHO, the answer is no. This is because of what Bill explained. It could easily cost an O/O $4000 more a year to put a zero experience trainee...
