RE: Preparing to invest in a new truck & team. Adv Paying cash is a good idea. As far as rates, it depends on what you keep. Fedex has higher rates but alot less on fuel surcharge. The reality is that a large majority of freight is bid on and they are all running at the same rate through the...

Yes, I wouldn't haul anything for them either. One can't afford to. No point in hauling for nothing. Cheaper and more cost effective to stay at home under that plan. Davekc

RE: Preparing to invest in a new truck & team. Adv I would look carefully at your expectations. 4000 mile average per week might not be realistic right now. There is alot more trucks right now than freight. We were in Florida last week and it looked like a Landstar & Fedex convention. That...

I would say the INT. is better in the long run because it is cheaper to rebuild. Alot would depend on the milage of the two. We ahve had both,and had good luck with both. I have read that some have had problems with the cat. Both are rebuildable, but the INT is the cheaper of the two. Davekc...

Good advise! Davekc

They should at least list the armor and artillery on the trucks. Davekc

If I had a van and was running single, I would do it. Alot of unused space that could have many purposes. Davekc

I can't say alot about them other than seeing many of their trucks on 401 in Canada Davekc

Good deal. 90 percent of electrical problems can be traced back to some type of grounding issue. Davekc owner 20 years

Not to mention, taxes that are considerably less Davekc
