Hehehe. Broom should have put a comma after the $400! To add my 18 cents (adjusted for fuel surcharge and inflation)... I'm leased to Dynamex running a mix of local and long distance expedite. I average 50% deadhead as DX rarely ever has any backhaul. I'm running a 10' box van and am...

I waqs fixing to go off on a long rant here. Instead I only have 3 words to say. Un Freaking Believable. :( -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

RE: More coffee , more tips After re-reading the original post it would seem that no matter what he tries to tug that trailer with he is going to be over 26,000 pounds as the trailer (per his post) is at 18K so even if he was using an F-350 as a tractor that would put him at a GCW of 29,000...

All ya gotta do to test it is hold it near your tailpipe while idleing. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

One line I saw on the partners-in-business.com site was this: "You have to be a good driver and a good businessperson to succeed as an owner-operator" That point has been made here on this site many times albeit in slightly different verbage. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

One thing to keep in mind is that the 11K GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)of your F-350 is not the GCW (Gross Combined Weight) of that truck. While the trailer you want to pull will likely be more that the F-350 is designed to pull the GCW number is what really matters. For example according to...

Say DragonRider. Got any pics? -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

I personally dislike censorship in a big way. However I also understand the need for decorum in the forums. With that in mind I would like to say that I agree with Tom and DD. Remove the offending post. Not the entire thread. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

I too am having this exact same problem. Please fix it. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Holy cow! Thank you for posting that. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Does that little one for pilots also sound an alarm or just change color? The reason I ask is the CO detectors like Terry has sound an alarm to wake you up if in danger. That thing changing colors is not going to save your life if you are fast asleep and drifting toward death from CO. -- Mike...

Hey 6. I can only say three words. Oh My God. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Hey Raceman! Bravo on your posting this next act in your saga. Many of us, myself included, would probobly not be willing to share that kind of detail and frustration about one's issuses getting payment squared away. This truely is a lesson to *everyone* that they need to be prepared...

Holy smokes Terry! Those little detectors are indeed a lifesaver and you just proved it. Every truck should have one if you sleep in it. One related comment about CO for those of you who smoke. Smoking a cigarette will put between 10 and 20% CO into your blood. CO *is* deadly. Be safe out...

Very sexy truck Doug. Best of luck! -- Mike N Beware the monkeys!

Joe, As others have said you really need to walk away from this truck. It is due just about anytime now for overhaul. When I was hauling cars out of the big auto auction in Bel Air, MD there were 5 DT466 powered 4 car haulers in the fleet. Decent truck with good lifespan. Those guys ran the...

Butch that is a sweet looking ride. Congrats! -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Oh yea bigger is indeed better. However like other mentioned make sure the truck you get is suited/acceptable to the carrier you are leased or plan to lease to. One thing you will find is that you might not want to give up any of that nice big cargo bay for bunk room. I run a single rear wheel...

After reading the thread about seats and knees I was wondering if anybody here who suffers from knee pain has a favorite remedy (creams/icee-hot pads/OTC pain meds/etc) they would share. Since I got into my new van my knees have been so much happier but after sitting for several hours they begin...
