If I live in Virginia, and buy a truck in Georgia (from a private individual), Can I transport it home ?? and if so, how. I know I will need to put insurance on it (probably thru OOIDA).

How can you tell the difference ?? The trailers I've seen have the blue star. I was counting recently and they really outnumbered Panther or FedEx 10 to 1 (TT). Saw quite a few Express 1 ST's

It has the 11R24's ..... What are the advantages/diadvantages of the taller tires ?? .... and the 475hp cat can be turned up to 550 3406 (but that won't happen). I'm concerned about the fuel mileage and shouldn't need the hp for expedite.

That is my 1st truck ever ... a T300 ST. But I will be driving a TT. I have noticed a ton of Landstar TT loads up and down I95 (east coast) recently.

Too heavy ? I'll be driving a TT

Anyone have any experiences with this name brand >> I know it has a Kubota engine !!

You got it .... Landstar lets you use your laptop to see loads available (I believe I'm correct) and you can pick a load going in the direction you need to be headed. I'm sure there are instances where you may have to sit but thats better than taking a load heading in the wrong direction or...

I'm looking to buy a truck (TT) for OTR (Panther/Landstar/Schneider) and 2 of them I really like have autoshift ...both have the CAT 475. I'll probably run around 60 to 65 because of the cost of fuel. Sound like the 3.58 offers the better option.

Pick and chose your loads ...

Any significant MPG difference with a CAT 475 HP and auto tranny ?? Running expedite ?

Any others companies that allow the flexibility of Landstar ??

anyone know where i can download a good excel P/L spreadsheet for trucking ??

This sounds like what I've been looking for. I love my Garmin but it will take you places a truck has no business going.

Why is there very little discussion on Landstar ?? They seem to be recruiting but you never read much negative on them ??

Thanks ... great set-up. I can see you did your homework. I may be asking too much for the $$ I want to spend but I plan to at least look into the possibilities. My wife really likes the condo sleepers so I guess I'm looking at stretching an existing sleeper (I'm definately buying a used...

Anyone heading to vegas ?? I looking to buy a used tractor and customize the sleeper. Anyone think this would be worthwhile to someone like me ??

Yes .... There is a guy that stretches existing sleepers. I'm just so new to this I have no idea how to proceed except ... very carefully. If isn't too expensive. I have not bought the tractor yet so I'm trying to see if anyone else has tried this. Lots of questions like weight and wheel base etc.

Nothing wrong with a Cummings !!! Not buying new ... looking at '04. There is a guy that will "stretch" the existing sleeper by 24" and I won't have to stretch the frame.

No way can I do it. I have talked to a couple of people that do it but the whole idea is brand new to me.

Where can I go to educate myself on stretching existing sleepers and possibly the frame and which condo type is best. I like the Volvo 770 with the Cummings but have heard its a little heavy up front. Anyone suggest the show in Vegas next week for a learning experience ??
