First I would look for a company that pays more than $1.15 per loaded mile. You should look as well to expect 100% of the fuel surcharge from the owner if you are paying for the fuel. Keeping that in mind, it should put you closer to .80 per mile with .30 per mile going for fuel, tolls, food...

I agree with Glen. It is the revenue you have to watch, not the miles. We average pretty much the same miles as a team. Too many trips out west do effect that figure with a straight truck or van. Singles generally do about half. Maybe even less with the new HOS. That is probably going to change...

RE: Ford I think you are right. License plates through me. Davekc

RE: Ford anyone doing the sprinter conversions should be able to do these.

If the driver is paying for the maintenance, he is not your driver. You are leasing him the truck. You at that point can't make any other demands. If for example the driver decides not to drive for a month, you would have no say. Secondly, if the driver is maintaining your truck, you would not...

RE: Ford one of those deciding factors might be the maintenance history on it. Since it is from Europe, I will have to do some checking to see how that info can be obtained. Is there a consumer reports in German? I was thinking maybe cheaper, but with limited options on Sprinter I think Terry...

We live in Flagler Beach and according to my parents there were some windows blown out and a few missing shigles ect. Most of the mess was blown sand. A few inches in the pool. What a mess, but more fortunate than the folks on the southwest side of the state. Davekc

"ight place at the right time".......no doubt about it! Davekc

RE: Ford Based on appearance, I think it will give the Sprinter a run for the money. I am sure it will be simular in price, and maybe cheaper. Thanks for the picture! Davekc

All of the above just goes to show that there are many paths to success. The wife and I have been very fortunate before expediting. Even now, the majority of our luck has not come from expediting, but from other business adventures. We do however have a passion for this industry and have been...

RE: Ford That might be interesting if there is any information available. Do you know how long it has been in production in Europe. Sprinter will tighten up their act once some competition is on the corner. It will be interesting to see what happens. This should be of interest to alot of folks...

We run for Panther and they have loads both ways. We live in Flagler Beach FL.

Everyone at EO did a excellent job at this years event. Almost needs to be longer. We wish we had so much more time to visit everyone there. So many people so little time. As everyone knows by now, everyone laughed at "vendor meeting concept" Special thanks to Lawrence, Bill @ NATS and Klaus @...

Cargo vans are great to fishing in and Pickups trucks are great to carry bricks and plywood home from Lowes. NEITHER will make an intelligent way to make money in the freight business. All else is total B.S.!! Phil Moore Former Independant Owner-Operator and owner of Nationwide Delivery...

forgot to mention; make sure you clearly understand what kind of loan you are signing. You want one that each payment contains a portion of principal with your interest per payment. Some dealers will have loans that are all interest on the front end of your loan. The truck will be two years old...
