    Fleet owner observation

    Couldn't you just figure what you could profit with the investment you are making and call that your ROI? If that's the case wouldn't the formula be something like profit-investment= return on investment? or revenues-expenses = profits-investment= roi

    What are the costs of rebuilds?

    I read somewhere recently that it's better to take your truck to an engine dealer than it was a truck dealer. Mainly because they have the access to factory parts. I think it was in the last issue of Landline Magazine.

    What A joke

    Yeah usally the Brits and us have to come in and help them get their country back. I saw a cartoon that was in France at the outbreak of WW2. These Frenchen were saying it's better for us to surrender so then our Allies will fight harder. It cracked me up.

    15 days is to long.

    Panther's paperwork must have changed since I left there 3 years ago. All I think I had to turn in to get paid was a pro bill, bol, logs, and I think fuel tickets. One company I drove for we had to turn it all of that plus another form where we put down our odometer reading when we enter and...

    "Broker based" vs. "Central" dispatch

    Re: "Broker based" vs. "Central" dispatch Mercer is an agent based carrier, but they are not in expediting. I've heard from different ones that if you get in good with a few of the Landstar agents you can go pretty good. Of course those people where on with Ranger. Maybe be different at...

    Newbie? Oldbie?

    One thing my Grandfather told me was if you ever think you know everything there is to know about driving a truck hang up the keys because you are about to kill someone.

    1998 FL70, CAT 3126, 6 speed Allision automatic

    What kind of lifespan does the typical Allison 6 speed auto have in an otr use scenario? If you replace the engine and then turn around and have to do some serious tranny work you could put a good down payment on a newer ride. Just an outsider looking in.

    60/40?/fair?

    A good driver driver should know what a good deal is and not push for more. I agree with you Dave both parties need to be making money for it to be worthwile.

    60/40?/fair?

They heat it up in 55 gallon drums by wrapping an electric blanket around it to heat it with a layer of that...
