    And he is telling people to get their own authority? What does he actually know about that other than what he has heard from people like Billy Hudini?

    Now i have never listened to his show much n and not at all in the lady few years since i cancelled my xm radio sub. But then he always said guys are better off leased to a carrier. Is he now suggesting they get their own authority and run spot market off load boards?

    I can count on both hands how many times I have listened to it. I have heard him mention it a little. But he mostly talks about this obsessive compulsive diet fad he follows and promotes and sells products for...

    How some people come to some conclusions is beyond me. And then they spout off like they know it for a fact.

    Here's what I know. It doesn't matter who I listen to, I never take their word for gospel. I listen, and then do my own research and then make my decisions.

    Sometimes you listen to a whole lot of drivel to get that one ounce of info that pertains to your operation.

    There are a lot of things he says that I don't agree with, but I haven't found anyone that I do. Except me.

    That might be the only show on radio with fewer skeptical callers. LOL

    We get it you don't like him . Don't listen. Never spent a dime with him. But most of his ideas did not start with him , and are time proven . Things I was doing 15 years before I ever heard of him . Yet him having a show. Heck I learn how to affect RR on tires in the mid 80s . Long before manufactures started making lower RR tires. We were big on fuel mileage when it was .80 a gal. Cutting expenses wisely is always a good idea. Frieghtliner would not put the fifth wheel as forward as we wanted it back in 86. So we had the trailer factory set the king pin back enough to get the trailer gap as small as we wanted(18 inches) yes that close . We paid to bust the wind once , do not want to do it a second time . Direct drive transmission and a high rear gear , yep did that . But a step past that . We ran 7 speeds , not back box at all to waste HP . Weight savings , heck no pass seat just as a start. Besides a radio and AC if it was not needed it got axed. Single drive with a tag, yep. In 1986 Cummins helped us spec our fleet , they stated they would avg 8 mpg on a 6% grade that never ends with max contracted weight. All ideas KR has talked about , but who in heck had heard of him in 1986. And fleet avg was 10.6 on that fleet . Trucks we replaced then were making good money , but getting 4.5 mpg . Difference in fuel mileage alone paid for the new fleet.

    Why settle for reruns ? Coast to Coast starts at 1 AM on the same channel.
