You know me, I like the big sleepers ect. I would like to see it.

They had driven for Landstar and then went to C&M. You are right as they live in TX driving metro buses. Or the last I heard anyway. They did run into financial disaster and that ended their expedite careers. They had contacted me several years ago to drive, and then I didn't hear from them for...

a detroit with 320,000, and well taken care of, should be able to go 600,000 before a partial rebuild would be warranted.

I did fail to address one item of concern. Relating to projected income. One could project income, but for only a short period of time. All the financial skills and management won't change the fact that fuel for example, has climbed to all time record highs. It would be hard under any...

In regards to my prvious posts, I listed many of my reasons on running a class 7. This is very useful information for a newcomer into the business. As stated earlier, particular companies and situations may dictate different approaches. Based on my past experiences with both, I can compare...

I have been on the lookout for them, but still haven't seen them. At the Louisville truck show they had white plastic ones, and said they had just come out with chrome ones. If I am not mistaken, I think they said you need 80 to do a trailer. Price is about 2 to 3 dollars a piece. I will keep...

I have bought several trucks that were repos. Going straight to the bank is the most economical. You are buying a truck on the failure of a previous owner. Very much like expediting in the fact you are (or your company) capitalizing on the mistakes or misfortunes of a particular company and...

there are some variances depending on where your truck is to be registared or titled. They have been cracking down on this but there are still alot of trucks that are tagged in one state, and titled in another. To avoid the hassle it is easier to have it all done in your home state. Between the...

same situation. tried to log in and couldn't

If it is just a comfort thing, my particular setup has a 125" and has just about all comforts anyone would want including a bathroom and shower ect. And, I can still haul a little over 10,000lbs. Again, the carrier is somewhat of a issue as we never haul loads that are that heavy. Our typical...

they are small stick-on triagular shaped air flow pieces. They run ads on Dave Nemo radio show. I will have to check to see if they have a site. They say it takes 80 of them to do a typical trailer

has anyone ever used air tabs on their truck? Was curious as to what results you had.

I would ask a Panther recruiter as they had a six week program to keep you going when you start out. I think they still do that.It was nice when we signed on with them because they track how you are doing and are quickly available. They were all drivers so you not talking to some high school...

There are so many variables on this item. I prefer a class 7 because they are cheaper to operate and half the cost. I usually order a chassis only and move the box, sleeper, and generator to new chassis. True, the class 7 will not last as long but I turn a newer truck much faster. Class 7 will...

RE: For Glen Rice if you are really on a budget, nose cones and some of the flairings can be had at salvage yards for a good price. I seen a turbo wing down here in FL for 150.00 on a wrecked pete.

RE: Looking for O/O 's who have lap tops in their We use it for numerous things, such as staying in touch with family ect. Also we use a Delorme mapping system for routing ect. We generally use Wi-Fi and until recently Sprint. Cell phone died and replaced it with a Nokia. Have to go to Bestbuy...

I would say it depends on how your truck is speced. Everyone is going to have different opinions. It is like which is better, Ford or Chevy? We had a cummins and had nothing but problems with it from day one. We now have had several cats and no problems. If the truck is speced right and the...

We generally know in advance if there is a surcharge. It is sent with the load offer via qual-comm. Not all companies work that way. You might post this question in the recruiter section so each company can respond to how they do it. Drivers pay is a wide open question as well. How often you are...

Canada can be an experience for someone starting out. Sometimes it is very smooth and sometimes it is not. Especially the waiting, if they are backed up at the Windsor bridge. On the up side, we have had very good loads come out of there, minimal deadhead and waiting.
