About a year and a half ago I saved the day for one driver. He was on the side of the road with a dump truck pulling a trailer with a backhoe on it. Smoke was billowing from the trailer. I pulled my mixer over and because I had plenty of water left on board I was able put his fire out. I was on...

Thanks Chaz.

Tried to google them. Only found references to them but no company website. Anyone got it handy?

When I was pulling a pnuematic trailer a fellow driver with the same company installed a $500 radio in his truck. Maybe it's just me, but I figure that if you spend that much money that radio should be at least as clear as a land line. But no, this thing has a built in echo function. Doesn't...

Thanks Ateam. My credit union has a branch in Arizona that is running a pilot program for commercial loans. They haven't started such a program in Austin though.

PS looking at D trucks.

What finance terms are generally available for new trucks? And used trucks? With a credit score >750 what are potential interest rates available through the dealers? My credit union doesn't have a commercial loan program as of yet but they tell me a personal loan is doable. With monthly home...

I've seen one newspaper editorial advocating this. They complained about cops letting people go 5+ over. The same editorial probably made its way around the country. The majority of newspapers are always looking to help their comrades get some more cash out of the people. x(

If you have your Class B you may want to check out local concrete mixer companies also. The hours can be brutal but the pay, depending on where you live, can be pretty good. I drove a mixer for 2.5+ years in Austin and grossed over 42K. And that was at $12.75 per hour. So I averaged about 55...
