    whats the going rate?

    1.35 to 1.45 doesn't cut it to work the east coast with any frequency. Referring of course to a straight truck.

    What does a Class 8 truck really cost?

    Driving records, length of policy, credit rating, and the volume of trucks will drive what you pay. Assuming all other items are equal.

    Don't have a easy answer for them. Never heard of them. Not sure if that is a "sign" or not? If they are just working bid boards, they are going to struggle.

    What does a Class 8 truck really cost?

    Assuming you are going for a price match. New reefers will be more as the actual truck value would be higher.

    What does a Class 8 truck really cost?

    At 150k to 170k it has turned into a expensive hobby lol. Back in the day, a new FL70 with a Bentz sleeper was 60k. Use to buy them out of the Massilion sand lot from Dan Shultz who worked for Knoxville. Seems like just yesterday. o_O

    Brakes at a Freightliner are really only $300. The extra $1500 is for taxes and shop supplies.

    Which carrier pays the most, keeps you busy, values drivers and low weekly fees?

    That is my thinking but you would be amazed at some that will take anything and then say "you should be happy with anything offered". lol I think I read that somewhere recently on FB. SMH.

    Chicago Murder Rate 2016
