Good at telling us what he wants, but absolutely nothing from him in the way of what he has to offer!! :roll: :roll:

This guy isn't serious, though....probably some teenage wannabee!!!

2. No appointments or deliveries between the hours of 1a.m. and say 7:30ish-8am.
Mostly drop and hook if possible.

3. Preferred tractors in this order, KW, pete, western star, international, sterling, and frieghtliner last.

4. tractors should be governed to about 80.

5. No qualcomm.

6. trailers should have the air-slider system for the tandems.

7. on board APU (prefer webasto or electified system over generator system) OR hotel reimbursment.

Now, i know there probably wont be any one company that can satisfy all my requirments, but there must be a few that can satisfy some or most of my requirments. Do you know of any?

NOTES:
Also, please keep in mind that i am willing to:

1) Stay out for long spells; I don't want/ or need to go home too often---once or twice a month is good.

2) NYC or northeast not a problem if #1 and #2 can be met.

3) Don't mind unloading if #1, #3 and #4 can be met.

4) Willing to run refers(translation Marten or small fleet) if #1, #3, #4 and #5 can be met.
I know a company that can meet all your requirements.
The name of the company is Lewis Friend Trucking.

Hey Lewis my Friend, instead of trucking, why don't you get into real estate? You can start by buying some ocean front property that I have in Arizona. I'll cut you a good deal :wink:

Default Wish list

Is this for Valentines Day? I prefer 85mpg with cruise control of course, with a nice foot rest on the dash. And don't forget the vibrator seat with a nice babe giving me a shoulder rub the whole trip! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Additional requirements:

Volvo is at the bottom of the list along with freightklunker. Everything else is cool.

I think Smith transport might be up my alley; They got pete's and they will keep you running all week if you want. I think their trucks do 70 as well which is better than 65.

Alright, here are my revised requirements. What i feel are most important:

1) Anything BUT volvo or freightliner. I don't care about condo or no condo, i don't care about how long the hood is or if it even has a hood.

2) No deliveries at freaky hours (1am-6:30ish, 7am). OR If the deliveries are at freaky hours then it should be this way ALL the time. No flip-flopping.

3) Steady, consistent frieght (translation: little waiting time after getting unloaded for the next load assignment) . Drop and hook preferred. This translates into all the miles i can physically and/or "legally" handle per week. I basically want to drive my a$$ off.

NOTES:
Dont' mind unloading if #3 can be met. Well really, #1,#2 and #3.

I can get used to 65 if i can get all three requirements.

NYC and northeast not a problem, in fact i want to go to NYC. ( I already go there once or twice a week already with my present gig.)

My wish is that this guy finds a company that meets all his requirements and then let us know which planet he found it on.
