Closer to $300,000 for a nice reefer. Wife’s inexperience should not be a problem.

Another big issue can be lack of insurance. Personal stuff. You’re used to medical and possibly dental. Quality insurance is costly in a self pay system. These guys bragging about the tax benefits of being an IC are often in the 30-40 k arena., If you run hard , and are smart/lucky, you and...

His ad in the TV Guide said he was the best .

Actually it went to Tuesday, the 17th. Monday, the 16th, is a Holiday in Washington DC.

I would highly recommend going to a fleet owner truck. At least for a year. Be sure this is a good fit for both of you before you spend $$$ on a truck. It’s easier to give notice if you don’t have to loose major money on a truck. It will also help you figure out what you want, or don’t want...

How about a recap ? Who’s there with Turtle ?

Will he get motion sickness ? Other than that, I see no downside. Secure the aquarium securely. DO NOT put WE LIKE LIZARDS bumper stickers on truck. That won’t turn out well.

Copy that.

Somebody recently posted a solution. Maybe Tobster ? Maybe Big Roads ELD ? Edit: Research Tobster 317 He says he’s used the Big Roads ELD successfully since the mandate. Thread name ELD for HINO 268 2007 year.

The gasket is more commonly called a boot. The regs you’d need to are safety restraints and such. Don’t forget a carbon monoxide detector. And make the wall between you and the freight strong enough to keep the freight out of the bedroom. And make it air tight.

The previous post is a few days shy of being 7 years old. And still good info. A lot can be learned by reading old threads.

Yes, research past posts. They’ve been talked about in the past. I see no problem if you’re running solo. You can log off duty 10 hrs and sleep on the roof if you’d like. If you want to log sleeper time, as a team, or to split break, you’ll need a sleeper that meets the regulations. You’ll...

Try posting with a new identity. Dawgs Forever, Blue for Life, etc. Might help.

Congratulations and good luck. If you didn’t get owners manual I’d highly recommend getting one and doing all the recommended maintenance on time by a reputable shop. Hino Shop if possible.

Just a sign of the times. Hey teach, is that a bat in your pants, or are you just glad to see me ?

Never take a bat to a gun fight.

That report from grammar school that will follow you “the rest of your life”.

I stopped in the service dept at Westfall GMC to have a friends Yukon serviced. Light Duty $139 per hour Med Duty. $150 per hour Motor homes $179 per hour Is this common ? With all the proprietary stuff on a vehicle, I used OEM dealers a lot. Glad I retired when I did.

I’ve been in the equivalent of a driverless truck, sometimes a few miles at a time. It started with drug testing. I had to change “vitamins “. It was a different world back in the 70’s. Glad I lived through it.

He said 23,000 gross. It’s an under CDL truck. I would hope he knows the difference., Once running some FEMA a shipper was putting 18,000 pounds on under CDL reefers. Until a non CDL driver flipped one. They quickly transitioned over to DR units. Which they then reduced the loads.
