    Things that go bang or thud

    Sometimes the low bidder isn't the best choice. I-10 in Texas probably doesn't have many low bridges. Or even close to low. Of course it only takes one.

    Paying your drivers

    If you pay to a Comdata Card, the driver can set it up to transfer any or all to his bank account. $1.75 for the transfer. Any time he wants he dials in and transfers as much of his balance that pleases him. Be classy, give the driver the extra $1.75 to cover his cost. Keep it simple.

    UD 2600 or Hino 268 (used truck decision)

    Atlwww If this is a typical day Show opens at 09:00 and you're in a booth until 05:00. 5-8 dinner and load-out. Technically your workday started at 9 so your 14 hours are up at 11pm. A drunk comes through the median and hits you at midnite. YOU are GUILTY because you are driving illegally...

    UD 2600 or Hino 268 (used truck decision)

    Typical used truck salesman spends most of his time talking to two people. The guy who can't get $$$ The guy who thinks his trade is worth twice what it's really worth. You, with $$$ and no trade, should be gold to him as a prospect. Before you talk price to any dealer, find out what will be...

    Big Truck A Newbie Doing Their Homework...

    You need to read more here than you have. Keep your class A. When you can pay cash for a nice van, with a few grand in reserve, check to see how vans are doing. If you try it, you can always go back to big trucks and have a nice paid off van at home. Remember THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT JOB.

    There's a German restaurant just a few blocks up rt 11. Maybe even walking distance . If you're tired of roller dogs. If you go south and have time check out White's Petro. Believe they have a park like area and a new bowling alley. Also, good Buffett.

    A little help?

    Not trying to pick apart your operation. Just looking at the situation through fresh eyes., Do they send losers to other fleets, or do they save them all for you ? I can't understand a carrier being so inept.

    Cargo Van I got kicked out of a Flying J

    Sounds like the OP was repositioned, not kicked out. Maybe smelly feet. Didn't hear anything about a shower receipt. And Turtle buying an inverter at a truckstop ? Who woulda thought....

    UD 2600 or Hino 268 (used truck decision)

    Just read from top again and if $1000 per rental is too much then the carrier angle will be too much. Unfortunately, truck ownership is more costly than the average person can begin to imagine. A simple breakdown and a short tow can be $500 just for the tow. To a shop that needs to overnite...

    UD 2600 or Hino 268 (used truck decision)

    Have you considered looking for a carrier ? When you look at purchase price, insurance, upkeep, etc you may be better off trying to hire a carrier. Take your 4 last shows and figure your real cost if you owned a truck. Then go to the home page here and call a few mid sized carriers and ask for...
