Since we already have an APU, we checked the "single tires" and "auto-inflaters" in this calculator. It resulted in a savings equal to about a 2 1/2 year payout for the costs of the added equipment. In my opinion, that's not worth the effort. Now the APU is another story. Not only saving idle...

We came out on the 1st of January, and so far our hourly wage has been $20.64. That's all hours, 24/7. Divided by two people, team operation, less fuel, and you can see that the greeters at Wal-mart make more per hour than we do. However, based on an 8-hour work day/40 hour work week, we do...

We have had the Garmin 2720 for about a year now and have really liked it. Payed around 1100 for it at Best Buy. Have had to update the software once and it was free. A new update on the mapping part is out there and it costs 75 bucks. We haven't done that yet but need to. You can read all about...

3 cubes in a highball glass, 2 cubes in a coffee cup

It never ceases to amaze me the mental barriers some throw up about buisness. Let's put this in real simple terms that even a truck driver can understand. If company xyz asks you to haul freight at $1/mile and you can make a profit doing it because fuel only costs $.50/gallon, good. Now lets...

Just to update ya'll on the original problem. Unit would not heat. We were able to get it down to a Carrier dealer in Birmingham where they performed all the latest upgrades as well as fixing the heating problem. It seems that from time to time, the computer has a brain fart and quits. All you...

This unit is still under a 2 year warrantee. I could not find a list of dealers/repair places on Proheat website. I guess it's a big secret. The problem is no heat. And when I tried the AC, it seems the compressor is not kicking in either. The generator starts and runs fine and generates...

I am having trouble with my Proheat and read some past posts to try to get a handle on what was going on. I ran into Broompilot's post about a dealer outside of Houston that did him a good job. I would like to know who that dealer is so I can look them up. I also read some about upgrades that...

Sorry if I don't fully understand the ramifications of posting company names here. BUT, if I am telling it like I see it and name companies, they can persue me to the ends of the earth to extract compensation. After all, you can't get blood from a turnip. And I don't think companies are...

Thanks for the support. I've noticed that a lot of posters have these little sayings after their name. Mine will be: I CAN'T STAND A WOMAN THAT'S DRUNKER THAN I AM!

I have read the posts on this thread to the point where I could not help myself. I have to respond. First, I notice that not too many "posters" are willing to name companies. I will. I hope this is not illegal. I started in the "hot-shot" business about 7 years ago. For those not familiar, this...

I just discovered landstarbroker dot com thanks to a previous thread, and was wondering about LTL rate coming off this board. Could anyone tell me about how much they are paying for LTL loads that fit in 24' straights? I know that prices can vary wildly, however a ball park number from those...

Was the truck drivers age a mistype? 22 years old? 25 is minimum for CDL!
