    Opinions Please

    This is purely spectulative at this point. IF a Straight truck could average 1800 paid miles a week with 400 DH as a solo. What's wrong with the following figures? 2200 miles total @ 8.5 MPG = $1010.00 for fuel @ $3.90 per gallon. 1800 paid miles @ $1.55 per mile = $2,790. Which leaves $1,780...

    Truly New

    I purchased a set of Goodyears from Wal Mart once. They told me to have them rotated & balanced every 12000 miles at a Wal Mart store at my cost or they would not honor the Warrenty.(sp)

    Can a Cargo Van Team make a living?

    purchasing a ST

    I would think a Tag axel would be better, because it can be lifted when not in use. Saving an axle at the Tolls. Also a sleeper you can be comfortable in.
