    Mechanic looking for expediter straight truck

    Ive never actually purchased from a truck dealer, but I doubt they would pay for it. I think the idea is to get it narrowed to a couple of trucks and get the price haggled out...with the understanding that you will want to do a final inspection. Then, take the truck to a shop not affiliated with...

    Your not going to find a lot of used Cargomax or Ultramax vans I wouldn't think. They've not been around very long. There is a van on here somewhere for sale....Jack Berry's van. If it is still for sale, it's set up and ready to go for a good price. It's not as long as the others but does have...

    Mechanic looking for expediter straight truck

    Now that we can work with! I'm not sure, but to get above 300hp, you may have to go with a class8. The class 8's will cost a little more, but hold up better with the miles and hold their resale better also. If you look for a 2000-2003 model, you should be able to pick one up for $12k-$15k...

    Mechanic looking for expediter straight truck

    A little more info would help. Do you know how much weight you generally carry in the truck? Even the Class 8 trucks will legally carry 8-10,000 lbs as a single axle. I doubt you have any more weight than that. I would look for an older truck for what your doing. Pre '04, before emissions...

    A&E shipping wars LOL

    Well, I didn't get my stuff moved on Uship. Out of all the people that bid, I think 1 guy had 1 feedback. The rest had "0". Even the guy who had a feedback stated on his profile that he had just started in the business after seeing the tv show. He suposedly had a freight background though. To...

    I hate glass.

    A friend told me a while back that there is actually different grades of glass used in windshields. He claims that most shops use a cheaper grade simply because nobody knows the difference, but the replacement glass seldom lasts as long as the original. I have no idea if there is any truth...

    Hello.....Newby on the lot....

    Dude, it sounds to me like you need to do a lot of reading on here and research what you should be getting paid to drive that van. Personally, I think your getting hosed...realy bad.

    Two questions about the new board ..

    I was on my laptop when I did it, so that was the difference. Odd thing is that I didnt use my phone on the forums last night and figured I would have to log in. Mine apparently wasnt effected. Im using the phone now and earlier today and its like nothing ever changed?? Guess I'm special? :D

    Two questions about the new board ..

    If you just click "login" (leave username and password blank). The next page gives you another chance to login and has the 'remember me" check box. I'm sure they will fix this in time, but for now, that works.

    Whirlwind Express

    My straight truck was leased to C&M. They hold back 3 weeks. I don't know why...never really cared to know. That's the way they want it so I'm fine with that. BUT... they NEVER, EVER failed to pay me when they were supposed to. That's the difference.

    Troopers: At least 9 dead in wrecks on I-75 in Fla

    That's not exactly true in my opinion. In fact, from the article I read about the accident, the first people who pulled over could very well be the cause of the pile ups to start. I'm not saying that they had a choice, I don't know how bad it was...I wasn't there. But once you pull over or stop...

    Espar equivalent

    The price wouldn't be my concern as Rlent stated, they would easily pay for themselves in fuel savings even over a generator. The extra weight in the van would be my problem with them. With me in it...my van has weight issues already :D
