    Our First week out

    Fix it right or else..........

    I agree with you. Mercedes may become a player if they keep building them in large enough numbers. It seems that they have experienced some problems though. As far as a volvo, I would go with a US engine. Here again, lack of parts and qualified technicians seem to be a problem with them. There...

    I was looking for what your thoughts were and what you have been shopping. That is not a reflection of your actual purchase. I think everyone pretty much knows about your truck so which generators you are considering isn't going to matter much. I am aware that Keith Bentz uses several different...

    Sprinter Sleeper conversion pics.

    Bentz or Midway would be my choice. The star trek has the wrong set up. You need a periscope from a submarine to watch the tv.:7 Davekc

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    It is very difficult to find good teams. The majority of the good ones already own their own equipment or are working towards that goal. As I look at other web sites, persuasive negativity is running rampant through the trucking industry. I think it effects all aspects of trucking including...

    RE: Been reading this forum and want to say 'thank It's not all wine and roses with White Glove loads. There are a lot of short ones that require lift gate and inside deliveries. Such deliveries can easily take several more hours than first expected when you take the load. You have got that...

    Been reading this forum and want to say 'thanks'

    RE: Been reading this forum and want to say 'thank We would still take a short run but it would depend whether it was the weekend or whether it could be delivered earlier enough in a day to get something else. Location and other trucks would also be a factor as well. We would consider a short...

    O/O revenue and drivers pay

    I think your latter comments have some merit under the right conditions. Might work for families that are close together. We did something simular 5 years ago when I was involved with another business at the same time. The other team was a retired couple with us owning the truck. Went well for a...

    Fix it right or else..........

    I am sure that would be the dealers position; in that they were not afforded the opportunity to remedy the repair. While it is a better fit to find engine shops that specialize in your engine it may be difficult for folks who are buying these Mercedes engines. I would believe you are stuck with...

    FECC "CONTEST"

    RE: FECC I agree with A Team on this one. There needs to be more communication between dispatch and drivers. Many don't know the dispatchers job and visa versa. A run offered at some of these described rates is an insult to the driver. .48 cents a mile for a load ect. They should know better...

    FECC "CONTEST"

    RE: FECC DoggieDaddy; you are right, it is the number for ALL miles that matter. "Just say no to cheap freight" Once there's not anyone to haul it, it will no longer be cheap. Davekc

    They were a short lived company that was using Dave Nemo as a sponsor for a short while. They sold an inferior product and then promptly went out of business. Kept peoples money and got out of town. To Dave Nemos credit, he did an outstanding job in rectifying the situation through other...

    Been reading this forum and want to say 'thanks'

    RE: Been reading this forum and want to say 'thank "Accpet any load that does not cost you money." (or words to that effect). It's a stragegy that serves us well. Our carrier likes it too. I will bet your carrier does. I am not sure I follow the concept of "any load that does not cost you...
