You might want to pm Rocketman. He'll have some more info for you.

LEAVE IT!!! .73/mi comes out to 1.168/mi for the truck @ 60%. That sounds like a weak rate with no surcharge. You'll come out with little or nada in your pocket. You can do much MUCH better! If, in fact, the fsc isn't included in the 73%, that's a lot better... depending on how much the...

They're just pissin their time away, Dave.

You guys have too much time on your hands for being so anal about urine. :p

Try truckpaper.com for used dry boxes. Make sure to check both heavy and medium duty. They also post reefer boxes and reefer units.

Exactly what I was thinkin. If I were just getting into this biz, I might say "Oh well... that's the way they do business. I'll just have to accept it." No I don't.

Arrow Truck Repair in Detroit is THE BEST place in SE MI I've found. They've been in business since the 20s or 30s. My neighbor used to have a place he took his tractor; but after I told him about Arrow, he doesn't go anywhere else around home. They take care of you, and remember your business...

That's just it. They were predominantly local, out of Romulus. But they rarely got backhauls, and I've never heard of them going from one point to another, unless one of those points were in the Detroit area. Sorry for not being clear.

Whole year? Try the next 10!!! Thanx to the Giants for not letting that happen! It was the best game I've ever listened to. :) The whole team won that game. But Eli was the one who stood out, IMO. What a drive!

Smartly, if you want to keep driving 5/5.

700,000 on the life of a small CAT? Count on 500,000. Like Leo said... bigger IS better, in this case. Also cheaper on an overhaul. Get ready for one in either case, with those mileages.

The Northeast is a good area. I'm not with Panther, but I see New England pretty regularly. A lot of ppl are skert of the Northeast, and make it lucrative for those who aren't.

Used to run for PDQ before they were bought out. I drove local. What I've heard about longer hauls is that they rarely get you a load back.

Cream Corn!

And one guy I talked to suggested the cube van is the ultimate expediting machine. Of course, he did mostly air freight. All of us have our opinions. With the woes of the van drivers lately, my opinion is that the van is not the best choice.

OKCity? Springfield, MO? Mt Vernon, IL? Do they have ppl with darts and a map on the wall saying "Where should we send him now? hehe"? You know you can go where you want, right? You don't have to take their suggestions.

Eagle... if you have enough to last three week til pay, I agree with Leo... give C&M a call.

You could look at it this way, Dave: Hillary may damage the country for two years, then the voters will pull another Republican revolution. So while she's screwing up our White House again, she'll ruin her own party in the process. McCain will damage the country AND the Republicans. How much he...
