quothe edbenton - "Also your statement about me having a double didgit IQ WRONG last time I had mine checked it was in the range of 162 so I know what I am talking about." Well, wouldn't someone with a 162 IQ be able to discern the content of this statement I made: [quote]QUOTE: (by edbenton)4. "The larger companies may not even survive ..." (retort by FM)Gee, I guess that's why J.B. Hunt, Swift, Schieder, Navajo, et al, have all stuck with the lowly 48' trailer and the 80k max, huh? 'Cause if they had gone to 53' and 105k average max, they'd of all gone bankrupt, right? (insert sarcastic smilie here)[/quote] You notice that last little phrase inserted at the end of the last sentence, the one where it says "(insert sarcastic smilie here)"? That indicates that the prededing statement was indeed a sarcastic one, as in .... ....."of course your statement about equipment upgrades (to higher GVW and longer truck consists) causing the large truckload haulers to fail is a completely erroneous statement, because those large truckload carriers mentioned aka J.B. Hunt, Swift, et al actually did switch over to the larger 53' trailers and/or heavy haul trailers capable of handling 105k GVW, and would you know it they are all doing quite well."

The last 48 foot I pulled was in 97 so they are not out there anymore. [/quote] ? Things that make you go "Hmmmmm....." ....and what is it about guys named "Ed" on this forum?
