That price sounds pretty good.The cat engine should have a 250,000 mile warranty on it.I bet you could get the truck for $25 k..

The Fuller 6 speed should be ok but i don!t know about the Cat.This engine doesn!t seem to hold up over the long haul,400,000 miles and it needs an overhaul or replacement..There is a moderator on this site named Weave who knows his engines and he can probably give you more useful...

Since I have time on my hands these days I thought I would post something a little different. The other day Mr Barry Bonds signed a 5 year contract with the San Francisco Giants for $90 Million dollars. Fueled by some Coors Light I did some math last night.His contract works out to $18 Million...

RE: Other Options...... I took a look at Ed!s web page and it doesn!t sound too bad to me.Remember he is putting up the down payment,making the monthly payment and paying insurance plus maintenance etc. Maintenance can be very costly. If the truck grossed $10k a month you would have $6200 to...

For what it!s worth I agree with you 100%. Stay safe during this winter..

RE: It's over man... Well I will just have one more comment and then stay off this topic.What I meant by Roadway,Yellow,JB etc not really being players in the expediting business is that at 2300 on a Sunday night a shipper could call Fedex,Tri State,Panther etc and have a truck on site withing...

RE: It's over man... Boy did I get chewed out.. So enuff said on this topic by me.Oh I don!t have a fat butt nor do I hang out at flying J!s.Drive safe

RE: It's over man... Hey I may be crazy but answer me this? Does Roadway,Yellow,Swifty, Jb,Schenider have drivers with DOD security clearances that can haul Military Explosives, Radioactive shipments,can they do Liftgate inside deliveries and pickups,do they have air ride suspensions with...

Dave that sounds like a decent deal..Panther is one of the major players in the Expediting freight industry. You should be able to get a adequate return after paying fuel/tolls. However where you live unfortunately plays a major part of your income.If you live in the Great Lakes area you should...

RE: It's over man... Sorry but I have to disagree with you big time.i have seen Roadway,Yellow Freight among others try to expedite freight.They are simply too large to provide the service that most expediting shippers want.They do not respond and do not have the driver/contractors that will...

Well as we all know we should never toot our own horn.Yesterday at about 0500 we were on a nice run from Woodbridge VA to Elgin AFB Fl and after we switched drivers ,my wife woke me up about 30 miles down the road and said"The red light that says ALT is on",so we had to pull off and transfer...

Randy I will get back to you about the actuals,but just realized I screwed up on the math portion.Actual maintenance cost are about 4.5 cents per mile not 22.Divided maintenance into miles and it should have been the other way,Miles into maintenance costs..4.5 cents per mile I think is...

Since I have had very little to do this week (thanks FEDEX CC) I decided to look at my maintenance costs over the life of my present FL 70.This truck was put into service as a brand new D Unit in June of 1996. It is now 5.5 years old and has 563,612 miles on it. Total maintenance for the 5.5...

Chicago

Just curious,How long have you been with Fedex CC.

Since I have been known to bash Fedex CC on occasions,I would like to say that I have known Virginia for mnay years back to the time when she was a regional dispatch supervisor. I have always found her to be fair,and she is a capable competent person. The Portsmouth NH center came about when...

Every so often I see HPD down here in the states.They seem to do a lot of store fixtures hauling from Ontario Store Fixtures near Toronto.I have been at that account and the HPD drivers seemed OK with the company.They said they generally stay busy,but you are right about NYC,also if A HPD truck...

The local Newspaper where i live had an article today that stated the economy would be in a upswing this spring.These are course ther economic Gru!s that said to buy Enron and Lucent etc. I always get amazed at how these 4th rate analysts can decide how and when the economy will respond. WE are...

It is listed on the Nasdag exchange under XMSR,first listing under X.

About 2 years ago I invested in XM and bought 200 shares of stock.I then watched it tank in the fall along with the other Tech Stocks but since they finally got it up and running the stock has rebounded nicely. I looked into getting a receiver but as Christy Rose said they are still a little...
