Most trucks that are titled as a 2004 are manufactured somewhere in the previous year. Your model truck is what is represented on the title. This is generally how the autos are done as well. Our truck was built in November of 98 but is classed as a 99. Davekc

I have seen tri-state and panther with window vans. I would check with whatever company you are going to sign with to make sure they allow it. Davekc

As Jeff mentioned, they are out there but usually they are offered at a reduced rate. We have been approached in the past with these type runs but rate was too low. If you got one with a decent rate, I would go with it. Davekc

The latest. Alot of clean up and getting ready for maybe Ivan Davekc

The net revenue from a D truck to a E truck is not that much different. I would make sure you get the training you need before jumping into a unit that you are unqualified for. Davekc

One of the biggest difference from the 2000 to a 300 is weight. The 2000 may very well need a tag axle. It will of course be more expensive if you are talking new ones. If you are in the process of specing one, you are probably aware of the other differences. Davekc

Thankfully for our area, no real damage. Most roads including A1A are impassable at this hour and no electric. Once bridges are open over the intercoastal we will head to the house. We have a generator so we can get the lights ect on when we arrive. We appreciate everyones concerns Thanks again...

Do alot of research before you commit to a change. Running a van solo will not initially bring you 40,000 a year. Once you gain alot of experience with your carrier it may be possible. 35,000 to 40,000 might be possible if driving a straight truck solo. I would in your case highly consider...

You make that a tough call. Seems to be advantages to both. One is auto and the other is a ten speed. You don't mention what type of auto. Might be an issue with fuel milage. KW has a generator, that is worth 5 to 7 thousand depending on the type. That will save some money. If adding tag on the...

Doing ok, but very windy. We are north of Jacksonville right now. Latest at our house which is in Flagler Beach is electric out and bridges are closed. That is all we know right now. Since we are on the ocean, the area is blocked and no one can get in. They had mandatory evacuations. First time...

Too high. Should be around 12 to 14,000. While I have had good luck with these engines some have not. I can also same the same for the older cummins ( had two that were junk) and 2 with detroit 50s. Nothing to brag about there either. Expect to pay 6,000 for a rebuild or 11,000 for a...

I agree with Rich. Keep in mind that they are going to change the HOS rules again. I would predict that they will be even more stringent than the last batch. I would certainly not have any expectations of income above that 70,000 gross range for a single o/o. Could possibly get a little higher...

Let us know how it goes Davekc

As mentioned earlier, I would more inclined to look at Panther or FedEx. If you are looking at just revenue, these two pay the most per mile and have the largest customer base. We are with Panther and FedEx is the only other company that has gross revenue that is even close to what we are...

With higher operating costs ect. I think that is way too high for a truck. I would have went to a used class 8 and stretched it, or went the path I have been going. I will take my paid for KW anytime. At his final price I could have bought 5 or 6 good trucks. Davekc

Always enjoyed your posts. Good luck on your new adventure Don't be a stranger Davekc

Good luck! Hope it works out well for you:) Once you start I am sure you will have a host of other questions. You more than likely will find the answers here Davekc

Yes my only observation is driving for Panther and as well talking to former folks at Express 1 that came to Panther. Panther like Fedex is alittle more structured than a smaller company. That being said, the larger carrier has the ability to keep you moving more consistantly because of a larger...
