Depending on the company you hook up with, and with what you said about staying out for 3 weeks,your 65K Gross is possible.This comes to an average of $1547 per week based on being out 3.5 weeks. I would shoot for a little bit lower as there will be weeks where in a Sprinter you may gross...

Need a little more info,what size truck do you plan on running and will you be rumming as a team or solo?. Do you mean that you will run for 3 weeks than stay home for 3 days or will you run for 3 days then be home for 3 days. If you are only going to run 50% of the time 65K Gross will not be...

Ask GEO ( George),he used to have a big Western Star he used it as a C Truck but he could probably tell you about the weight issues.

As Glen said you will get 100 different answers.We have 2 cell providers,one is Cingular and I have been very pleased with them,the other is with Verizon and they seem to be so-so.One good aspect is that in a area where one provider does't have signal the other one will. The only portion of the...

RE: This may not be the Place but THIS HAS TO BE S What gets me is where is the outrage in the so called peacefull Muslim World.I don't see the media reporting on Saudia Arabia,Pakistan,Syria etc as too their feelings about Americans being beheaded. However some dipshi- female soldier...

I have been working with Landstar for the Fema contract for the last 15 days.Today they called FDX and released me. I did sit a lot as they were primarily using E units from Landstar and US Express. Whjat they really needed was reefer units to haul ice around to smaller staging areas. Some...

I hate to sound cynical but I would be careful about this post,looks like she really wants donations to her website.I have been operating with FEMA for the last 2 weeks and have seen many Landstar and US Express trucks running supplies to these areas, while I have been sitting,although getting...

If you don't plan on making a lot of money NLM is for you.They are a brokerage facility putting out loads for the automobile assembly plants.Big Time discounted freight. Shippers post their loads and the carriers basically bid on them.D freight can come in at about .80 per miles and at the...

Have a poopy day ?? You can do better than that.I don't have fond memories of changing diapers and I am sure that goes for most of us..x(

We live in Atlantic Beach FL about 2 blocks from the ocean.Wild day here,trees down power going in and out streets are a mess and the waves are probably 14 foot crests. Wife made me board up our front windows on Friday,I bitched and complained big time but now I am glad she insisted.Of course I...

From all of the posts regarding the Cat 3126 it looks like the max mileage you can probaly plan on before a rebuilt is about 400K.There are exceptions to this but that seems to be the norm. If you could get it for 12 K and bank the rest for maintenace down the road it might not be a bad...

Better set your sights a little lower. You said will be be available 76% of the time,want home time,and gross 100k as a single driver. Sorry but the HOS Rules will severly impact you running as a single driver.Even though you may be available there is no guarantee that you will be running 76%...

Two weeks ago I was with a team that was going to pick up one of those Jay Mott Petes.He had all the bells and whistles that were possible built into the truck. Cost of this large car $151,000, add FL sales tax $161,570, add interest and when it is paid for will have cost over $230,000. Too much...

Ditto

Thanks for the nice comments,sometimes we take it on the chin.Glad EO helped you and keep posting..:9

Now thats dedication,wonder who paid for the cab??

With FDX a bed card is a Qual Comm message that you send saying you are available in that particular area. There are geographical limitations ususally 25 miles from the main city is acceptable.

Why don't ypu call AllTypes and ask them,probably has something to with the costs of the NM Tax Card and fuel permit..

Awful lot of redunancy here, MPG has his problems because evolution happens both with people and business.The more things stay the same ,the more they change.Complaining and whining about poor me gets you knowhere in life. Walmart is here to stay,we all shop there,but the Mom/Pop stores are...

25 K a month to a well managed D unit. Sorry but it ain't going to happen.That would be $300,000 per year gross. Even if you just took 2 weeks off you would have to average $6,000 per week. I don't think even a team would be able to have the hours to do that every week. Do the math.Lets say you...
