    Insurance catch 22 's

    I am not sure on a pick-up pulling campers, but a 98 commercial flatbed straight truck last year (not leased to a carrier) was $5,200 in Florida. Much cheaper to insure through your carrier if it is available. Rates may be higher in the midwest or northeast. Davekc

    Freightliner highway robbery!

    It would be nice to have a general comsumer report type information survey on peoples experiences with dealers. Just a 20 point questionaire so dealers or repair facilities aren't unfairly trashed. Something like speed of repair, quality of service, expected price on repairs, warranty work? was...

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    Some very good responses. As Tom mentioned alot of figures or expectations swirl around percentages. What kind of dollars are needed to retain or attract good drivers or teams. Do folks think $1000 a week $2,000 a week ect. Whether it is percentage or flat milage rates. Since no real benefits...

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    No Problem That is the type of information that would be helpful to alot of the owners ect. As mentioned in another post, I think the industry will have to make some changes as well as the owners. I think the typical 60/40 split is going to be a thing of the past. What would be a decent wage for...

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    This is kind of a follow up to RichM's post. It seems alot of companies and owners are struggling to find team drivers ect. The large truck load carriers are offering .32 to .50 cents a mile plus benefits and still can't find enough drivers. As I look at the current classifieds, there are only...

    ??? Automating Existing Landing Gear???

    It would be harder to do an upward slope. If you can make a quess as to where your landing gear would be you can lower to the desired level and then let the air out of your suspension. Most places you go will be either flat or will project downward. Davekc

    c 10 cat

    Glen is correct, I have seen most used ones with a 200,000 mile warranty through a dealer. New ones can have a 500,000 mile warranty but not sure on the new acert engines what that cost would be. Any dealer could tell you, I would think the cost would be about the same. Davekc

    ??? Automating Existing Landing Gear???

    It is a motor that attaches to the existing gear assembly. You must already have an existing setup. If not, then you are looking at 12 to 1500. When purchased, they have a replacement shaft, the sealed motor, and an optional hand crank.(it can be manually cranked if needed) I think they only...

    ??? Automating Existing Landing Gear???

    LBD Most dock are either flat or will decend in a downward slope. If it is a downward slope, stop before your decline and lower to the correct height. Even with landing gear towards the rear ect, the travel distance from the ground to the bottom of your landing gear will remain the same. It...
