To keep your truck cool in high outside temps, park faceing North East, keep your windshield out of the sun. The insulation in my sleeper sucks too. In \heonix or laredo during june july or august, I just iddle the truck cause the carrier can't keep up.

Is .15 high low or average for maintenance expenses. This includes tires, oil, washs, inspections, wipers, anything that physically goes on the truck or the labor to put it there. The last two years this is how it has worked out. This seems high to me, but I don't know. I have a 2007 Hino 338...

7, unless you include the merchant marine, then 10. Merchant marine was a "Healthier" lifestyle, we had a gym on every ship I was on plus, their was physical labor everyday. But I hated the hassle of Flying all the time! Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums

If unborn babies are innocent humans, and innocent human life has value, then there is NO justification for abortion and abortion is murder. However, if innocent human life has no value, then justification for abortion is not needed. The historical argument that 'abortion was legal longer...

Diesel engines were invented to run on BIO fuel, linseed oil I believe. I saw a guy on TV with a diesel Jeep he ran off grease from a fast food restaurant. Anyway, "clean" biofuel is actually better for your eingine, my understanding is it burns cooler and has less grit in it. The downside is...

Check fuel filter, check solenoid that holds throttle, its probly that, if it iscranking and not starting it is most likey the throttl solenoid, if it sputters runs and then stops, it may be clogged fuel filter or bad alternator. A word to the wise, OBSERVE your equipment when it is funtioning...

DO NOT MOVE TO CA!!! Is that clear enough.

If the truck grosses 150k a year, which is higher than "Average", Then each Teamate will make 30k a year. Roughly 13 bucks a hour, I don't think that is enough money for th hardships involved in this business. A Starbucks Barrista makes that and they get to go home every nite. I think this...

Oil is high because of US dollar weakness. All imported commodities are high for the same reason. There has only been a slight increase in demand since the economy crash. Production still is ahead of demand. You can't cheat the calculator. Governemnts who run up debts always print money, more...

Also DON'T GO INTO DEBT, The economy is gonna crap out again as soon as gas hits 5 bucks and will be KIA for months. That's not a political statemnt just a fact of life. I would be very surprised if we don't have another 6 month period like 08,09. Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums

I would think, you would first decide on the type of frieght you want to run and then buy a truck to fit the frieght. Buying the truck first especially the one you described seems like folly. That truck would be good for very little, outside of maybe airport runs, mail, junk hauling like "2 men...

As a FECC owner driver, I can tell you there is no way I would do this job for 20%. I get 100% now and its tough to stay in a straight truck. 500 bucks profit a week is about right, if you have a truck payment. Being a fleet owner is like being a section 8 landlord, except your "houses" move...

If it was me Id report the truck stolen. Sent from my SPH-D700 using EO Forums

I have actually sailed throught the 'Straits' on more than one occasion. From a firsthand view, the straits could be closed pretty easily, a couple of big ships sunk in the seaway would effectively close the strait. A small submarine or even shore based anti ship missile could do it pretty easy...
