Not a problem! Discussion is good. You know what they say, if you don't use it you loose it? You get the point and in seeing your posts I believe you already understand the concept. Great question.. you did stir the pot. Drive safe and be profitable!

1. I don't know who you think will pay 4 or 5 dollars a mile? If you have contacts that will pay that on average freight I suggest you start your own company. I have transported some great paying loads in the 4 dollar plus range and worked my butt off, and at first like you stated the pay...

A courier service using a Corvette? Interesting idea for righting that bad boy off on taxes! Wouldn't a bicycle be a better idea? Good luck on your adventure.

Thanks Fkatz! Good info for all of us.

I personally know of owners of each of your choices and there impressions were the same. One was thrilled with his Sterling and the other wishes he bought the others Sterling! Go figure, do your homework and test all your options thoroughly! This is a huge decision and shouldn't be taken...

I'm no computer guru, but do you remember the topic? OK how about the date? This would help the search. Good luck and let us know if we can help with your inquire?

The ultimate truck deseves the ultimate trailer. You really need to contact Blackburn Trailer Sales in Louisville Ky. I haven't talked to Doug in a few years, but he is the GURU! Kentucky website can direct you to a Kentucky dealer in your area. This would be a trailer of the same quality and...

I suggest you go thru some of the site and see for yourself what is said both pro and con. There aren't many "bad" companys left anymore just companies that "fit" you and your goals. I personally can think of both good and bad to say about anything, and I think you can also. How about driving...

I would follow the recommended operators guide above the visor. Depending which model year Super 10 you have there were some improvements in shifter and automated use. Such as the 9th to 10thand back to 10th feature. You might call this floating the trans. Again my thought is to use the...

Good questions, 1st pallet grabber is a clamping device used to lock onto the base of the pallet and drag out of your truck to the back so they can then forklift pallet out of truck or manually unload. Ratchet straps are used to secure your freight. This is very..very..important! Never move...

I would not twist the chassis..period. If you have to raise the entire truck use blocks under the front tires and lift the same side using blocks under landing gear, and be extremely careful. Safety first.

Normally escrow is retained until all billing items are covered. Also door signs permits and plate if applicable. The one item that screws things up a bit is fuel/mileage tax. The other like I said is the opportunity for shipper/consignee to make claim for freight damages. If you do not recover...

Howdy, intersting plans? I'm not sure why you want to go thru Nevada and the mountain ranges. As you know the possibility of being stuck in a snowing mess are pretty good this time of year. I assume you were going to cut off in California and run by Mt. Shasta and go thru Reno Nv. That is a...

I don't know who this company is and don't want to know. These are not standard practices in the industry and should be avoided. There is generally no up front money other than possibly your physical and first month insurance. Thanks for the "heads up". Drive safe and be profitable.

I recommend no one answer this request. As a contractor part of your contract is confidentiality. Sorry for stopping your request, it is an unethical question at the least.

I would go shopping for a carrier you might be interested in and discuss your equipment with there recruiting dept. What year are you looking at? That and condition are usually more important than shape. The color could also be something that might come up as many companies require white as the...

You better go to a truck body company like Hoosier Trucks in Ft. Wayne and get the real poop on what your looking at for your particular application. How big a box are you looking at? Or are you thinking tractor trailer? Need more of what your thinking??

Automotive freight is not everything! Don't get me wrong, they make great filler, but give me un auto related freight anyday! They are probably not on the preferred list but they are on the list. Don't sell this company short, they've been in business quite a while and will find other interests...

I had the unhappy experience of killing Bambi back in 1984 and since they have been on my trucks all I can say is never hit another one! I would highly recommend..again this is my opinion and what works for one doesn't always work for another. I would be sure to follow the directions as were...

Well guys my daughter just rented a Penske Truck and stopped at the scales and got her butt chewed out in Georgia for stopping at the scales. Yes it was her household stuff, but she also was carring several engines of mine for business. The officer in his usual annoying attitude told her never...
