Same difference. Go to McAllen from Laredo, and bring two loads back. Of course I am talking a straight truck doing it verses a van.

600 for your van load is a good rate. We have taken them for less, but in that area of the country, it can be profitable to double dip and run two on the truck in either direction of your listed locations. How much DH for second load would you do with both delivering in Laredo, or the reverse...

I think from what has been posted, I'll go with the results Linder and Bob provided with the exception of waiting on repairs. Buy a KW or Pete and you should never have to wait:D Couldn't resist. Unless you got a 1000 plus truck fleet, it isn't likely you would get anything done any faster...

As a added note, whomever is paying the fuel, that person should be recieving 100 percent of the FSC.

If someone finds that information out, they might as a favor/service to other members and list the information that some are seeking.

No need to complicate the simple. Most are wanting to know the costs/deductions and what their rates are. Probably more specifically rates pertaining to their start up reefer division. They would likely be better served to post those items thus eliminating calls where parties might or might...

Smaller companies have the flexibility to review more loads on a individual basis whereas larger carriers are on a more automated system. Many do take advantage of the FSC system and pocket a portion of the fuel. That isn't speculation, that is a fact (and they know who they are). Once again...

Sounds like a Wisconsin union tactic.:D

Most of those types of articles are jealousy pieces. They are made because they can't get the same ratings, Same deal with Limbaugh years ago. Notice he is still around and raking in a pile of cash.

Bought a lot of trucks from Dan out of the Massilon sand pit. He sold the Bentz line for Knoxville for a pretty good stretch. Might be more interested in a KW or Pete version. A quick link on Stoops truck. Stoops Specialty Trucks Unveils Climate-Controlled Expediter - Truckinginfo.com

Thanks, Your post speaks volumes and confirms what other folks have said that have that same vehicle. We gave them a brief consideration but just too many problems to fool with.

This thread is back from 07. Looks like more than a few days.

He may be able to make some cash selling lucky charms. Think I would check some additional sources as well. If someone is getting invited to dealership grand openings, that would make me pause at least for a moment.

If it was built within the last several years, it has all the pollution stuff on it. Combining that with much of the service we have experienced with some of the Freightliners, it could be a wicked combo. Alot of their mechanics are totally lost on these things or they have one and you either...

Big companies operate on a much different playing field than a small carrier. That can be good or bad depending on what the expectations are. In the case of Panther, I know very little about their recruiting. No real need to. Last I heard, this bonus thing was if you were new and leasing a...

It is all George Bush's fault:rolleyes:

I may take you up on that! Good luck on the fix. Sounds like they got a handle on it.

I would just do what you want to do and not worry about what others think. You could do the most perfect site and then a few will still complain "it is too perfect".

Has this truck had the radiator replaced recently? If so, then it is oil out of the replacement radiator that was put in for storage. If not, then you are going to many places including your head-gasket, cracked block, damaged head or block seals, EGR, with the latter being a common problem on...
