The guy here in Minnesota says I’m wrong. They’re selling like flapjacks.

James, he might be able to help more if you answer his questions.

I just read that Ford sold almost 11,000 Transits in July. If this continues look for less incentives or Dealer discounting

I knew that.

I double if he’ll leave Family Dollar after this long.

Are you sure? He’s retired. And he has two, yep count them, two jobs.

I’ve had both. I’m partial to the Volvo. Steel cab. Heavier. Built with safety in mind. Can reduce payload. I think both engines are great. Transmissions are similar since Detroit copied the Volvo Trans. Resale favor to Freightliner today. May change if Volvos catch on . So close I’d say which...

I hope he meant over-spec’d C unit.

Never had a desire for an “ over septic C unit.”

Have run into this twice. Once the guy was very rude. I was adamant that it wasn’t me as I hadn’t been in his state for years. He even read the plate number to me off the picture. So describe my vehicle to me. ( white Western Star.) He said it’s a very shiny trailer. Says Bulkmatic on the back...

I guess I’m spoiled. I’ve always lived near enough to a large metro area that I’ve always made good money. Haven’t made less than $50,000 per year since 1976. Looking on Glassdoor in my present area found 2 $10 per hour jobs, one $14 per hour job and many $19 per hour jobs. Neighbor does...

You’ll make more money Expediting than you will at a normal job ? How much have YOU netted in the last 12 months ? After expenses. How much hometime ? Do you have any of those” overrated “ benefits ? Any workman’s comp ? If so, who paid it ? Paid holidays or vacation? Any money paid into...

To address going Expediting. You’ll probably be an IC, responsible for your own taxes. Weekly guarantee of $0.00 and higher. Still no health care. But as one recently stated here you can be broke enough to receive government assistance. And when you have three good weeks you go home for a week...

Says the retired guy with TWO jobs. Honey, the weather man says record breaking COLD tomorrow. Grab the gear Honey, we’re going FISHING !!!!

Have you asked for a raise ? With today’s market, a wise owner may cough up to keep someone that’s worked hard for five years. If you leave Ground you may soon realize how much you enjoyed having weekends off. Being home daily. Houston weather. Running solo. CR England may not be much of a...

RT, I gave up two of my favorite things ,dietary , in 1984. Ice tea and beer. Can’t give up chocolate . Do I stand a chance ? What was the hardest thing for you to give up ?

I stopped my occasional listening of Kevin R because of his diet talking. I’d think, why doesn’t he shut up, this isn’t what I tuned in to hear, etc. I should tune in and listen this time. Fantastic story.

A straight truck is a box truck. Nice that you can take into parks, many restaurants, and shopping areas with little effort. Many straights in Expediting have cooktops, large refrigerator/freezer, sinks, satellite TV, generators to be sell contained,and some have showers . Various types of...

There’s a team that used to post here that as rookies bought a $35,000 straight, $500 down and paid it off in 6 months. It’s been all downhill for them since. I know another young couple, bright, as rookies did over $300,000 thier first 12 months. Bought the truck they were driving to get the...

Humm. If you throw in the towel now, you’ve limited your loses to what you’ve spent. If you have commitments from shippers that are solid, maybe look into brokering that freight to other trucks. I know little of that end of the business other than if you do a good job it can be more...
