    Say Hi to July

    No disrespect guys. On a good week my carrier gets $4000 or more from the freight I haul. I don't think they say, it doesn't matter truck xxx didn't do crap last week. We got $62.50 from him.

    I would expect all repairs,at the owners expense. If past 1/2 way through the contract, I'd give him right to hand me the title and let him walk away. After I had the opportunity to walk away.

    If the truck seems to be in reasonable shape, I'd review the contract and talk to some former or present drivers. I'd want a simple agreement on turning over the truck. I'd want the routine maintenance done until the last day, and require that it passed a dot inspection at the time of...

    Having seen this guys trucks, they're probably fairly decent. The Western Star most likely a Class 8 with ICT sleeper. If they're in the TVal fleet they must be reasonably dependable. As Dave says, a ten year old truck isn't worth a lot. A nicer 10 year old truck isn't worth much more. A...

    Not necessarily. If he pays you the same as his others drivers, it is free. My thoughts are if these two older trucks are sitting, they're not earning anything. If the New Team drives it for two years, and the owner profits $20-$30,000 per year he's done fine. Maybe this takes him thru his...

    Think about it. A load OUT of Bison is great when you are home. The rate is high because it probably is a sucky load to the rest of the world.,

    102" Tall Box Height on New Truck

    Your body builder, or sales dealer should have that answer in minutes. What have they installed 102" high bodies on ? I know this isn't what you asked about, but if you do not need dock high, how about a 450/550 size cab/chassis and a tall goose neck trailer ? There are many reasons to choose...

    Acme down Texas way will probably answer all your questions. Log books over 10,000 lbs. CDL over 26,000 lbs OR once the trl reaches a certain size, which I am not aware of that size since I've always kept my CDL.

    Over the weekend a midwestern fleet owner posted an ad ( here on EO)with a novel approach. No money down. No payments. Drive the WG/TVal truck for 18-24 months and he'll sign the title over to you and throw in the needed equipment. I don't know the guy, or gal, but I have seen his trucks...

    CVSA Sticker

    They outfoxed us.2 corners, then 1 corner, then 0 corners. A diver can't make it newer by trimming a corner. I wouldn't even try it. Possibly early on people did.
