Power legs are great! They have there own pump and resovior for legs to operate. You can buy a air operated unit from a trailer company. You cannot retro fit your existing legs to hydraulic. Be sure to mount the remote control unit away from the rear so you don't have to stand in the mud to set...

Sounds like you should have sealed the floor when it was new. Since the floor is getting ragged you might want to borrow or rent a belt sander and smooth that bad boy out and get a two part epoxy sealer and put a beautiful coating on there that will last for years. One word of caution, use in a...

This one has been under debate for decades. It is was it is. The courts have determined you are not an employee, period! Do you really think the government would miss out on all the social security taxes if they did'nt have to? Good question and comments. Thanks

Normally fleet owners don't own vans. The reason being the revenue will not support both owner and driver to any great degree. If you wanted to buy vans and then lease the units with an option to buy, that might make more sense. Make your money on the interest rate you could charge and help...

I'm confused? Should'nt you found out that info before buying the van? Or are you just fishing for info?

There are several companys that do this. The one that comes to mind is Safety Services. They may stop you in a rest area and ask to see your log book or do an inspection on your vehicle. This is legal as they are a representative of the company you are leased to. I would not let them up in my...

Thats great, a job you love and the truck of your dreams! Doesn't get much better than that. We hope you have years of trouble free service out of your truck.

You of course realize that would be 5 feet? I would think never higher than that. As far as the center of gravity being to high, unless you are making your cabinets out of steel I would think you'll be fine. Good luck.

The next time you stop in Canada go to your dealer of manufacturer and see one of those bad boy moose bumpers! They are awesome and save your trucks front end. Caution is the price. Depending on which one catches your eye, you'll be shelling out about 2500.00. Good luck.

I know of a few operaotors who live in Mn. and are leased to Landstar. They seem to be happy with there home domicile. I'm sure other carriers do well there also, as there is plenty of high ended freight out of your region. Good luck.

That was a great tool for basic book keeping. Maybe if you contact your local Volvo dealer they can locate you a copy. There is probably a warehouse full of these books waiting for your call.

Everybody has a story about which to choose. I would look at your location and service opportunitys. Thes are not maintenance free devices like some want you to think. Do your research and make your decision based on who can and will keep you up and running. Good luck and tell us how it works...

What are you pulling? The trailer you talk about, is it a van or flatbed? Carhauler maybe? Help us out here with some more info? OK??

Thanks for the straight talk. It is hard to tell it like it is. Your comments about this not being for everybody is correct. Not everyone wants to be away from home for weeks on end. This is a nomadic lifestyle. Good luck.

Not knowing what you have for experience is telling me you probably have none? If that is the case I highly recommend you drive for a fleet owner for about a year to see the good and bad times in expediting. You would not make a good white glove candidate as a single operator. And the fact you...

I know you have heard this before. Try driving for a fleet owner. They will work around your schedule. YOur commitment to the Guard is to be commended. Thank you.

I agree, you can do better. A class 8 chassis is the way to go if you can afford it. Good luck and spend the extra money on a good inspection it could save you thousands of dollars.

OOIDA for one and how about your carrier. I'm sure they offer a payroll deduct plan.
