    Some honest questions about FSC

    The shipping community will play games with FSC's as long as it remains a deregulated aspect of industry. IMHO FSC's are driven by the preferences and/or motivations of individuals in the decision making chain more so than the price of fuel at the pump.

    Expeditor Truck Sales ... Any Feedback ?

    Re: Expediter Truck Sales ... Any Feedback ? Thanks Doggie ... Kinda makes me suspicious as well. The inventory listing on their web-site doesn't appear to have been updated in a while. I do like the KW T-600 units they seem to have, I've been checking around and there don't seem to be too...

    Class 7 vs Class 8

    A class 7 will cost less, but would have to be rebuilt sooner. "rebuilt" meaning the entire power-train I presume ? I fully realize it would depend on numerous factors, but, for planning purpose what kind of costs should be anticipated ??

    Class 7 vs Class 8

    Really appreciate everyone's thoughts on this subject ... Equipment would be used in a regional / singles operation ... From my perspective hard assets are long term investments. Buy the best you can afford, take good care of them, and they will reward you with ROI
