Now this is an idea I had but not sure how one would do it. Take a class 7 cruck and afix a slide out rv unit like the ones that go in the back end od a pick up and use it as a fifth wheel and a pup. You may ask why I don't just go with a after market sleeper? Well I guess I haven't seen...

Yes this has been discussed on here, if you do a search I am sure you will come up with what you are looking for. Good Luck!

I need to ask who you are going to lease this with?

If they made this in a fith wheel now THAT would have alot of possibilies!

Good points and all well taken. It's so much easier to express ideas when we don't get all defensive. Rich has pretty much the same ideas as I do it seems. I do like the idea of parking in most parking lots and I do like the point Glen brought up about using the truck as a "camper" (I didn't...

Has anyone seen this site? http://www.expediteloads.com/

Wow thats an awesome point, I never condsidered that! Makes sense though since you are spending less in theory you are making more per mile!!!! Thanx!!!

The kind of cool thing is you could use it as temp controlled freight

Yeah my uncle drives a 22' for tristate and almost 95% of the time only has one or two skids on it. I am torn as I see both sides. More potential but at least in his case, most of the time it's wasted space.

Yes that is true but I pulled my own trailer so I didn't have to have the 53' billboard except to have my own business name on it. I am not saying there are not huge pluses (sp?) if I didn't think so I wouldn't be here!!!! I guess I just know that the OTR company I ran for got quite a bit per...

OK well if you look at it as buying part of a franchise then yes that would make sense. And yes I am sure a plain white truck would raise suspition...especially if you wife just washed her hair and she had her head wrapped in a towel!

Glen, I don't want to portray a bad attitude I just think maybe the business owners, because thats what you are, should get a bigger pieve of the pie is all. I am just throwing things out as I try to understand how all the pieces of the puzzle fit. As far as pride in the company you drive...

I ahve been doing alot of research into the expedite freight industry and I have some questions. I am not trying to offend, put anyone down, or make any one or anybthing look bad but these are just some eyes looking in on things I can't figure out. 1. Pay Why does expedite pay so little...
