A b train is a tractor pulling two trailers,like the trucks in Michigan with the 22 wheeles,or Canada. A cord of wood,depending the type of wood weighs about 4300 lbs,so depending on how many lbs you can haul legal,then that will tell you how many pallets you can put in the trailers

you throw iron with me will be over coffee in the motel lol

Is this really rocket science?If your an owner driving your own truck,all you need to know is what you spent over the year on expenses,and divide by the miles.Now if you run team,that co-driver is part of the expenses,and if your smart,you add drivers pay for yourself. Keeping track of all the...

Round trip would cost you less than 100 bucks in that van,if you ended up back in Atlanta.And just think,you might even get a load from that freight unfriendly state of Florida

I'm confused,why the original post,are you getting ready to quit your new job?

Mike, you have chains on,lol guess someday your going to have to teach me,My chains have never been used,I spell chains,Holiday Inn lol

Keep what your doing,someday you will make a good O/O.With the records your keeping,you should know what your truck is making or loosing.But as I stated,once you have been thru a full year,all you have to do is divide the total expenses,by your total miles,now you know what you need to get for...

Col.I guess Ill never be in that bunch that say it's slow.My experiance keeps me moving.If need be,I'm willing to change express centers on my own dime,and besides,In a tractor,I have much less compeition than you van drivers

Col.No I didnt have the new co driver,If I did, that week wouldn't have happened,they were all Government loads

After delivery,if your dead head was back to Seattle,you would have a total of about 7000 miles,and if you have all the equipment to run the Alcan in the inter,this load would be doable.As was writen,there are loads coming out of Ak.but if your luck is like mine,they were picked up the day...

With the flat rate .85 per mile,now its about miles,the more the better,so when you deliver in BFE, your going to get paid the .85 back to what ever ex center,so, it wouldn't matter where you go.When I was at Con-Way Now,we got 1.05 all miles,I did every load to Fl. that was offered, the layover...

you will need 244" wheel base or less especially with 53' trailer

If your making $850 reginal,you better stay there,at least your home more often

This question has had every truck owner and driver think about for as long as there have been trucks. As an owner operator,there are many things to look at,but I have a formula that works for me ,and the outcome has not failed me in the last 20 years.I do vary it some, once in awhile,but not by...

IRT, hes in a straight truck,it would cost him ruffly 2500 dollars in fuel to go up and dead head back to Seattle.His advance could be 4000 bucks,putting 1500 in his expense pocket,buut this is the wrong time of year to run to AK.You have to have spare chains,tires,and there arent that many...

not in the winter,you may never arrive

Im not H/W team but let me worn you right off the bat,this is not a good time to start in the expedite business.If you are serious though,and are TT qualified,I suggest a Tractor,as you have more options to stay busy.Second,you will do as well pulling company dry box as you would your own TVAL...
