    Shiny If I were to decide I could make money with one, it would be an ancient FL70 Don't ignore short runs. 5, $200 localish moves is still $1000....usually pay is higher on short runs also to compensate for the lack of miles I take all the $300, 150 mile runs I can get in the small van

    I'm thinking my El Paso, where I stayed barely 8 hours before getting a full rate back to GM Oshawa near were I used to live wasn't typical. I actually WANTED to stay later (but took it) After the drive down, about an hour of looking around at the truck stop and trying to look at Mexico thru...

    Big Truck Why

    I got your answer in email, don't know why it isn't showing I wrote a long answer and decided it was too specific, here's the short version If that sounds high to you you just don't understand how small vehicles work. Just like I have absolutely no clue how to make it 1 month in a big truck...

    Big Truck Why

    I've seen this post as I wandered around many times but never answered (new year's imbibing made me do it) Because I like $1000 a day And non 1099 places limits on my income. Not that I have anything to do with Trump, but I sure enjoy negotiating like him For everybody else, if you don't get...

    Please advise on my new start.

    Hey RoadTime Happy New Year! Ragman too he'll see this Local route. Landed another after 7 years, I have no worries - watching my fellow drivers go from $9000 pays to zero was something. But I've seen it before Local. Ragman gets it

    Please advise. Loan conditions

    You guys are all crazy I recently (2022) paid $9500 usd for an E250 and feel ripped off. 66 months of $1550 is not my idea of a good time

    Please advise on my new start.

    If you can afford the vehicle outright and afford to lose 100% of your investment, go for it Just be ready to make less than minimum wage after expenses, until you find a niche that pays (of course you already have the insurance sorted out right? If the "apps" don't cover you, totally possible...

    Why do so many contractors who 1099 off of owners suck balls?

    There's going to be a real shortage of people answering that they suck balls I'm a contractor but I pay for my own insurance. Last run was 3.97 a mile usd - I don't really understand why people do the 1099 thing but it's probably because it's easy

    Going Green EV eSprinter

    Yeah they are in stock near me but 200 mile range... I'm not buying either. The solid state tech I was looking at was still over 91% at 500,000 "simulated" miles. Still waiting

    Going Green EV eSprinter

    I wasn't thinking big rig, although Edison Motors has a design that is along the lines of a Ramcharger Edison Motors I don't know about 2027, buy one now if you want. BYD Dolphin is in Europe and Mexico, they haven't entered USA yet.

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    To answer the last - you didn't, the only way you could have known is to do it. Best way is as a driver with someone else's equipment The dream that they play to on social media doesn't exist. It's been said time and again here but people would rather believe in something positive I guess

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    Appreciate the reply I've been at this a long time, and have been wondering what all these people getting new MC#s are planning on doing with them I started same way, and just by accident got a 5 day a week route that paid off the van. Never again Still in the business, but always paid off...

    Going Green EV eSprinter

    Not too sure what you mean, solid state batteries are barely out of the lab and definitely not in any mainstream vehicles. Doesn't take but a quick google search to see all the test results (solid state batteries) Today no. But I drive a 2012 In the meantime if I needed one, the BYD Seagull...
