    New Company- 600 miles from home base- good or bad

    RE: New Company- 600 miles from home base- good or Depending on the company, this should not be a big deal at all. You did not say what city you live in? If you're near a major metro area your loads should originate in your own backyard. Company headquarters location have never made any...

    What is High Mileage?

    If the truck was in perfect shape, maybe it it would bring that $$. Otherwise start deducting for less than perfect condition. Too many miles for big money unless that engine is fresh. Bigger horsepower worth more money. Good luck.

    tag/pusher

    Sounds great and now you know you could have double stacked nose also. Education is priceless. If I had any clue I would have needed all that stuff the teachers tried to ram down my throat, I would have payed more attention!

    I wonder if you could

    Absolutely, great idea! Renegade in Indiana on I-80 makes a coll unit as well. Check them out, as that way you get a slide-out! Now that would be Super Cool!! The only down side of all this would be needing a "A" license? Have fun and keep the imagination growing.

    Jan.-Mar. freight for Cargo Vans

    If I were you, I would'nt leave the windy city! Sleep at home and run short, sounds like a great plan!! If you have to run long, head to New Jersey and use the same technic and run short and profitable. Good luck and be safe.

    Nice to be home

    Glad you made it safe and sound! Since you've been away so long do you have the sound of a truck idling or a reefer kicking in about 2:00 AM? Maybe XM could have a channel dedicated to such a wonderful tune to sleep by? LOL Happy Holidays to you and yours.

    bought a gps and recommend it

    The draw back is memory, just as you said. Spend more get more, at least in this application. Thanks for the report, you did the unit proud! I've seen the same unit work and it is pretty amazing.
