So we all know commercial/industrial opportunity industry is slow. Shippers want to save money by shipping ltl freight by ground services not expedited service. What I have seen though. There is more business on the retail side. Consumers asking for cargo vans and pickup trucks. Moving trucks...

Take out the inner liner. Knock it out with A hammer. Put liner back in. No one will see it. Make money.

Have your own shippers. When they slow down use Sylectus. Combination of both.

Budget and many other rental lease companies all sold them. Got rid of them. Dumped them. C.A.R.B. requirements. Emission system is junk. Do not buy. Research it.

Also speak with 1 or 2 diesel engine mechanics on their past experience with this motor. High/low maintenance costs? High/low labor costs? High/low parts costs. Known mechanical issues? PCM & ECM & BCM issues?

Bid on the opportunity with your price. Capacity will determine what the market will bear.

Get a hold of a collection company in the trucking industry and have them collect on the broker and the shipper.

Wow she looks amazing. Got guts. That's to be admired for. Congratulations.

It's all about supply and demand.

It means not from Arizona

Foreign Carrier that is you. Over 6000 lbs that is you. Commercial vehicle that is you.

Business is ruthless. Dog eat Dog. There are no favors. Bottom line on every job is money. Always be extremely well informed. Regardless within reason what it takes to find out the truth. 90% probability the job was taken by a lower rate or was given to a preferred vehicle/driver.

Pretty much these prices are very realistic. Brokers and shippers want low and carriers and o/o want high. Always start high in any opportunity. Supply and demand will ultimately dictate the price you can get. If price gets too low to make a good profit out of your hundreds of dollars invested...

Sylectus is saturated with o/o's would not recommend. Better to go and get your own shippers/accounts

If you can run at .50 cents a mile go for it. Don't matter what equipment you have too. Supply and demand. Huge supply exist.
