Certainly a strange post. It seems we have went for weeks discussing how experience doesn't matter, and yet that appears to be the cornerstone of your truck building process. Now I am confused? Davekc owner 20 years

Fingerprinting has numerous limitations in its effectiveness. The only value is if the person has a questionable past. It does nothing to address anything else if one has no history. In addition, companies should pay more for hauling these types of loads. Most don't pay because they don't have...

Researching the archives on here will give them a wealth of information in which to formulate their questions. Prior to that, one needs to see if it will fit them personally. Can they be away from home for extended periods, can they manage their finances ect. In addition, go to the truck...

RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F Teacel, You are correct. I misunderstood the beginning of the post. After re-reading it, I see what you mean. I will have to be careful when talking on the phone and reading a post at the same time. I stand corrected Davekc owner 20 years

With your experience, you have more options than one could print. Everything from EO, other web sites, publications will all have ideas. My wife and I have just come off the road recently and are in the process of launching another fleet. As mentioned, your imagination would be your only...

Surely, On 5 reefer units the additional average per mile was .39 cents per mile for ALL miles. Within this cost, one much include additional interest on truck loan if monies are borrowed, additional insurance, on going maintenance, reefer fuel. The other items to review but not included in...

RE: Is This Forum For Everyone, Or Just An Elite F McBride The idea of someone listing credentials to my knowledge is not a required item to post. It is purely an optional thing. The only reason I think it came up was because someone refused to be part of the rating system already in place. I...

As mentioned, the reefer C unit will or should do more revenue than a typical D unit. One needs to keep in mind that the reefer truck will not only cost more, but has many additional expenses as well. When comparing the two options, it is more of a matter of choice. We didn't see any difference...

Hey Tony Thanks for the drivers report on the truck. That is another team in my truck. Good Post! Davekc

Isn't it funny how you manage to agree with what he said, yet put him down for daring to advise someone with more 'experience' than he? Apparently you may be reading the posts too quickly. I didn't write whether I agreed with A Team's post or not. I did like Special K's idea. I enjoy different...

Now, I was here a long time ago, and I understand Ateam is very upbeat in his views. But where is the crime in that? As I read the post, I see him simply saying that driving for an owner is not the ONLY way to go, that some have 'jumped in' and made it. What's wrong with that? Did EVERY poster...
