    Perplexed in Indiana

    Same situation as real estate. If it is priced right, it will sell. Make sure you are advertising it to the right parties. If selling it to people in the business, expect to get alittle less as they will be more educated to its value. Going through a business broker might bring you more money...

    We worked for Panther and were not happy

    We are with Panther and have had very good success. They do take a little time to learn, but once you do, you should be successful. They have alot of folks who have done very well with them. Ourselves included. Then again, I quess it depends on what ones version of "little money" means. Davekc

    Generators

    To save weight, I would go with a Proheat as they are much lighter than a generator. When specing a new truck, go to a dealer that has the software to lay it out so you know exactly what it will weigh and were to place axles, fuel tanks ect for max. capacity. I have seen alot of people buy a...

    FL 70 Electrical Problems

    Yes batteries usually last 2 to 3 years. If they were completely drained at any time or have heavy frequent loads ( usually through inverters), they will deteriorate more rapidly. The difference really shows up when comparing to deep cycle (marine) batteries. Davekc

Once you know the companies freight lanes and customers, you will be able to make educated decisions on where to DH to, or what loads you would or would not accept. You stated you wouldn't go south however knowing where...

    Freightliner highway robbery!

    That kind of problem would have been caught if they had done a load test on it. This is the kind of stuff I can't stand. Poor quality on service and workmanship. Davekc

    Air or electric dolly legs?

    Holland trailers sells them. They are electric and are about 1500. You can buy the motor seperate but not sure of the cost. Davekc Before I forget, Holland probably has 500 locations nationwide

    Freightliner highway robbery!

    While there are a few decent freightliner dealerships, the quality ones seem to be shrinking. Just read all the posts. Very few positive comments. Hopefully they read your complaints and take some actions. Even though you have a freightliner, many other places will work on it. Two damaged hoses...

    Generator

    Proheat is supposed to be a real good unit. I believe it is for heat only. What do you do for A/C with this unit? I quess you would need something seperate for that. We use a genset with a roof air unit. Davekc

    Be careful what you ask for

    As far as I know Panther only sends teams out west. We have had runs back with no problem. If you can't get out of CA. why wouldn't you go to ElPaso. Freight there is usually pretty good. Davekc
