I had a freind who was hit by a CRST truck several years ago and never recieved a dime. They have the recoures to play the waiting game and hope you go away. His truck had a bout 1500.00 damage and another 1200.00 in downtime. Like I said, he never got a dime. They told him to go ahead and get...

Oh lets see, how about 3000.00 thats a nice number. I would do a little shopping. Check with your carrier and see what they offer, OOIDA, and independent insurance carriers. Cost to you is based generally on value and deductibles. Good luck..

I would call Landstar at 1-800-435-4373 and ask for Greg Nelson, he can direct you to the group you need to get started. Good luck.

Without knowing tire size and load rating I would only be quessing. You're probably in the ballpark. How heavy do you run your front axle? This is not rocket science, however don't quess on your safety.

This kinda reminds me of the trucker that retires and you see him in the cartoon out in his yard on his lawn tractor with the CB mounted on the side of the hood, air horns on the top of the hood, and of course dual chrome stacks, and the bumper sticker that says without trucks america stops!

The bulk of freight is certainly east of the Mississippi. White Glove trucks with Fedex do well no matter where they run. Going west as a single usually is a disaster as the miles deadheading kill you, and your log book. Good luck and I hope you find your niche.

I believe that system won't work because of the phone line interface. Mobile is mobile, in the beginning years ago we had to sign an agreement stating we would not sell the transmission from the dish...go figure?

I agree Raceman, you hit the nail on the head! There is way to much whinning, and not enough cooperating goin on out here. The term work smart not hard is the recipe for success!

Very cool! Sounds like the last of the honest people in the world are still alive and well! Hopefully all other dealers can take a lesson from these great folks! Drive safe and be profitable!

Your 800.00 a week is about it for a single, the triple axle pup is interesting, but a bit overkill! How about a 30 foot two axle tractor [all sleeper] and a pup reefer/liftgate. Get a team and generate between 150 and 200 thousand a year? Good luck, and by the way living in Nebraska is no...

Well we learn thru our experiences, don't we? If there is a next time I would'nt go to work without a contract. You never have been charged for a brake job, and I know you know that. It is just simply normal wear and tear. I'm sorry you got burned, there are quite a few good fleet owners out...

This is the time to leave it to the experts! Your Truck outfitter should have the ability to recommend the proper axle for your unit. I would run, if it were me tandem tires and not singles. Also I would option for shock absorbers they will make a huge difference in the ride. Good luck

I appreciate your interest in this subject. Unfortunately I don't believe that in this time in our history we should be publicly discussing what high profile loads we've transported.

Very cool Lawrence! You certainly deserve a big slap on the back for all you do! Lawrence you ROCK!!

Great question! I feel a business plan is crucial to get started and then some form of book keeping program to keep you up to date on your earnings and expenses. You don't know what your making until you crunch the numbers! When talking to your banker terms such as "they send me really big...

Wow, right up my alley! Big power, bigger tranny, and of course the biggest sleeper allowed by law! Honestly I would go with a day-cab class 8 Volvo [my preference] super single tandem axle rears, 400 gallons of fuel tank, stainless exhaust system....kinda see where I'm going here? Sleeper wise...

No such thing as a dumb question! Here goes, the 7 and 8 refer to the category of chassis based on gross vehicle weight ratings. The size of an expeditor are broken down into the abc. An "A" class unit would have a load capacity of approx 500 lbs., a "B" would also be a van like a 1 ton unit...
