I have seen both landstar and Panther running those types, and there are others I have seen. It would be a extra bonus if it is dock high. Alot of companies request a DH only truck for pickup & delivery

A-Team should have mentioned that he drives for FedEx. I would find the carrier that suits you prior to your truck purchase. Several carriers rates change when going from a D to a C. Sometimes as much as .10 cents a mile. With a team that may be a 10 to 15,000 dollar difference per year. Should...

sounds like a bad air regulator or bad brake chamber. That would explain the bang. I would have it checked out if you don't know what you are looking for on the brake chamber. They are not expensive and can be repaired quickly. With the bang, it doesn't sound like the hoses. You can always check...

Just like trucking companies, some are good and some are not. Drivers are in demand so like the other posts....get EVERYHING in writing.

I agree with the above. Air freight or courier service would seem like your best bet. Especially if part-time is desired

Our Kw is a former race car hauler. Have to make sure you know what you are buying, and it can be converted for expedite use.

You will most likely experience less runs and shorter trips being a single driver. Keep in mind that some costs stay the same whether single or team. (QC, insurance, truck payment ect). That is why you need sufficent reserves in case of breakdowns or slow periods. Takes longer to recover these...

That is what I love about expediting. I learn something everyday. I will have to adopt that Wal-mart stradegy:)

As far as I know reefers are deisel powered. We are at Panther and run a D unit. It has a shower, toilet ect. It is a 125" bunk with a 18 foot box. Ours is from ICT. (Indiana Custom Trucks) Their web site is www.indianacustomtrucks.com Bentz has some real nice units as well. Some of the ones at...

Yes, Oldtimer is right. You will find the "inside track" to stupidity.

I would check some of the archives to find information on ASAP. I know very little about them other than seeing some of their vans up around the Detroit area. Teams will always do better than singles, so you have to decide for yourself if and how you would want to proceed. Keep in mind that you...

If in good shape, 20k should move it.

I would go with a Gateway or Dell. While Toshiba is so-so, they do have in store service if it is something small. In store service is at BestBuy. Not sure on Gateway now since stores closed. I think BB will work on a HP also, but not sure.

Your advise should be well taken. With any company, one should be prepared for a large financial and time commitment. Anything much less than that will kill your ability to have much success, unless you have alot of resources or have been out here for a considerable amount of time.

Rich is correct on TriState at the time they were doing .65 percent of the load. Since they changed to a milage based program, I would think you would know now. It was good that they changed it because when we were there they had some instances that .65 was not paid. They were not aware that the...

If your front end is 13,600 or higher, you are pushing your luck. Alot of states will give you some extra weight but I would be careful. Even with a reefer, generator, and full fuel tanks, you should be under that weight empty. What kind of motor do you have?

Looks great and it is a KW:)

And if you think that is scary, I use to run a ford pickup with a single sleeper and a 12 ft box. for Roberts. Things have changed in a big way.

I simply tell it like it is. If statements are factual, I am not worried about a slander suit or anything else. Like you said, the truth will come out. However, sometimes when that truth is shown, it may be a little late for some folks. As you read alot of these posts you will quickly realize...

must be landstar?
