I don't think corporations and or politicians would desire a even playing field that would include themselves. For that reason, I not sure I will live to see a flat tax. I am not sold on the fact that it would be a benefit anyways, when just looking at Steve Forbes plan, which was promoted...

Since you live in OKC my opinion would be different, but I agree with THawk. I would have held in KC depending on how many other trucks, or folded and went to Columbia or St. Louis if running single. Glad you got a run. Davekc

Terry is right on target with his post. This is essentially the same model I use within my own operation. I agree also that when damage is done to the vehicle(hitting low overpasses) it should be the responsibility of the driver to cover the cost or the deductible. That is more than...

If you want to know what lenders really want its...no late payments within 24 months "lates" are the deal breakers. you can have a bad credit score just dont be late. your 750 is fantastic....most want a 660+...hey! need a mortgage??? LOL. Dukesadog You are correct. It is not a business plan...

Single D unit 22ft cargo box.and how far should a single d unit deadhead to find some loads. Hard question to answer without knowing where you are at. Location would be the driving issue. Singles out of Texas can move but it takes longer as most are team loads. Florida is kinda simular. There...

Ateam wrote Financing through a dealer is expensive (outrageously so!), especially for first-time truck buyers. If you can get a small business loan or personal loan through a bank or credit union, you'll do far better. In general, dealers require loan applications. Bankers and Credit Unions...

Ateam wrote There is nothing magic about a year of experience. With the difficulty expediting fleet owners have finding GOOD drivers, you will be eagerly considered by many, if you have a GOOD record and can show good numbers. As there are less fleet owners today, many are starting to tighten...

There was a thread I thought not too long ago on this or something simular. We put diamond plate only part way into our box. I believe it is roughly 3 to 4 feet in. This seems to be the area that gets the most damage. Most loads are 2 to 4 skids so we load over the back axles so they (towmotors)...

My quess is because they are much smaller companies that are regional operations. Traffic for a website would seem somewhat limited, but you never know. Couriers for example in Houston, operate much differently than say NY,LA, or Chicago. Davekc owner 21 years

As with everyone, it was great to see and visit with so many. Show was great. A personal thanks to Lawrence for his hospitality and orchrastating a fantastic show, but I could have used another day just to visit everyone. Never enough hours in a day. In addition, I would like to thank the...

Two additional items to consider but not mentioned are the value of the first truck at time of trade in, or sale. If it runs, it will have some value. Maybe a little, maybe a lot. It will make a difference on your second truck. The other issue not mentioned is the type of loan. There is a huge...

Probably need alittle more information. Factors to consider is whether you are a team as they get out of either Houston or Dallas must faster. Are you a tractor, straight, or a van. Tougher to get out of both with a van. Lastly, how many of your type of unit was at these locations? All of the...

You should settle for nothing less than a senior agent that specializes in health insurance and serves self-employed individuals. To find one, or a couple to choose from, ask your car and home insurance agents to recommend one. If they say "I can serve you" politely decline. Plan B to get a...

That was an interesting looking truck. I think the link for it was from EBay? Didn't see any of the posts on there today. Davekc

In addition, miles per week should not be the only parameter for choosing a carrier. At the Expo you can talk to the players at all the major carriers and make a better informed decision on your future in expediting. Excellent advise. Hope you can make it. Davekc

If that can't be readily found, go to KW's homepage and download a T300 brochure. The link is www.kenworth.com Davekc

What am I suppose to do if I am hitchhiking? I will hold my expo sign and hope for the best:7 Will see you all there. Davekc

As mentioned above, unity would have helped but accomplished little. Sad to say but true. Trucking is a market driven business, and it comes down to nothing more than supply and demand. Rates will increase when there are fewer trucks and drivers. Davekc owner 21 years
