I would be careful teaming a pup with a cabover. When that combo is empty expect to be bounced all over the place. Freightliner cabover is probably the smoothest ride on a cabover but there are much better options. Davekc

RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo In more cases than not, drivers don't know what the dispatchers job entails. Same goes for dispatchers. The majority have never been on the road or even sat in a truck. Only in a rare case have we really had a rude dispatcher. I just hang up...

I think freight lanes have for the most part, stayed the same. Davekc

I will have to check that out Thanks Davekc I wonder if anyone has this service now?

There was a previous post indicating there was a plan for wireless internet service for 30.00 a month. What company is offering that? Sprint use to be $80.00 per month so 30.00 might not be bad if coverage is decent. Might be better than wi-fi if connection speed is good. Davekc

One would need more information to give you a number. What condition, what size box and sleeper? Does it have a generator? Depending on some of those items you could be anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 Davekc

Good advise. Get references from previous drivers as well. The more information you have, the better your decision will be. Davekc

There are numerous issues that could effect the out come. I would call OOIDA or your attorney. OOIDA can be found at www.ooida.com They would be able to answer your basic legal questions. Hope that helps Davekc

RE: FECC You are correct. Alot of folks sink regardless of the carrier. There certainly was some lean years. Davekc

They would be ok for a drive or a tag axle but clearly not for a steer. With the discounts available now, I would go new before a recap. Davekc

RE: FECC I quess I am a skeptic when it comes to this kind of thing. I know of several people going broke with them in addition to one that did. Maybe you have to be at the right place at the right time? I don't know. When looking at the classifieds here, there are alot of folks looking for...

RE: Truth In Leasing ..was...RE: FECC "CONTEST" Yes you are correct in that they must provide the complete bill upon request. Once you try that see how many runs and what types after that. Many will refuse to show it to you. We had a past experience with this and of course they failed to show...

Diane and I researched carriers extensively before we started over a year ago. Then and now, we have yet to find a carrier that pays more than FedEx CC over a meaningful period of time. There are carriers out there that can legitimately claim to pay as well, but none I know of can legitimately...

We use to have sprint but it was really slow. Currently using flying j wi-fi. Seems to work pretty good. They have updated alot of the cellular stuff so it might be better now. $30.00 unlimited sounds pretty good. What company is that? Davekc

I would agree with most...consult an attorney. Some small claims courts max out at $5,000 depending on the state. Just another option. Davekc

I don't know that I would be sold on any company paying a percentage unless you see the costomer billing with your statement. How do you know you are getting that quoted percent? If they are paying a percent, then there is always a reason. Not sure, try asking your carrier for the bills of the...

RE: can a moderator tell me why my post was sudden As indicated in earlier posts, I have met with one of Tom's drivers. He was doing very well and was performing at the numbers Tom quoted. This was prior to me even knowing who Tom Robertson was. That being said, since that time I have had...

Not sure what design you have but the Bentz version was at the EO show and it appeared to be well recieved by all the companies that were there. Davekc

I think when George won everyone blew a sign of relief.:) Davekc

I think you gave yourself very good advise. My personal opinion is to have three to six months of ALL expenses saved. This will protect you in case something unexpected happens. One of the biggest downfall of new folks is spending everything and saving little. I am glad you are doing well. If...
