Did some soul searching. (Ziggi didn't seem to think that was worth answering) if its less than .85 I'll stay home and do local. Just in case any carrier types are reading. BTW I would take .50 a mile to cut the carrier out (hi "boss", yes I'm serious)

I take it you're of the no cheap freight persuasion. Go ahead, I won't be offended (I'm not American :p)

True Confessions for truck drivers lol I have to say here I would have gone that low for a backhaul, just have never had to, fortunately Not to leave home though...i think...(clock is ticking last expedite run was about 10 days ago)

Ok no responses, thanks to T270_Dreamin for the links...20k on interstates, 12k most other places so 12k it is...now should I get tandem axle or no? Planned use...all the expedite I can get with some bottom feeder locals and LTL off the bottom feeder boards...suggestions?

Sorry, I missed that I was cutting a hot dog in half I don't really know who's side to take. I do know I had a bad week and have no money. But next week it might change. Start a garden and 90 days dry food supply I guess. Has it ever been any different in trucking?

I think those retiring with no regard for setting aside funds for replacement of the truck are killing the rates right now :j/k:

Let me know if you find anything useful. I heard they dont care about anything but the tag on the frame at a weigh station...so unless the id plate is changed, what it came with is whats legal...how to load it so the front is legal is what I need to know as well

OVM, the other guys have payments to make you know...take it easy

STRIKE!! Every driver needs to park and protest nationwide tomorrow!!! (So I can get out :p)

I suspend my one man protest after sitting at a truck stop twiddling my thumbs too long, but .60 I haven't done yet (Not even from El Paso)

Just saw a nice 1997 Peterbilt 410 hp with 20k front and 40k rear, no rust anywhere...not sure what to do with the big PTO sticking out of the middle of the frame (guessing was garbage truck)

What are you running and why? I like the prices on the Class 7s but I think a tag axle Class 8 would be more flexible. Looking specifically at a 2004 International with these specs GVW 54000 Hendrickson suspension 14000 front axle air ride 40000 rear axle 256 wheelbase. 26 ft Multivan insulated...

Unless you need something hard to get, like...a starter or alternator :p

Yep training starting at 599, they will come to you, which helps. Looks to be like a fair amount of overhead for a van driver to switch between insurance, mpg, plating, road taxes etc. At 1.45 a mile doesn't seem worth it...providing any van deliveries come up before I go bk again

I don't have a straight (yet) but I noticed on the MTO website a few changes... - you now need a medical on a Class G to drive commercial trucks (10001 lb) in US as of Jul 2016 -you now need a medical on Class D as of Jan 2017 to drive in US American drivers will be rolling their eyes and...

Yep deleted post. Answered b/c I was in quote I'm going to log off, cleaning the house kills my brain cells, I won't have anything useful to say

Yes. FAR worse. Of course every year I remember the busy times and forget the slow ones... The prices are out of line right now, in the wrong direction

It's important for me to call the shots, even if I starve to death doing it...i never last as an employee very long :D

Going to be a "vintage" straight. Why? The whole point of the van is the advantages of being non-regulated. At 7 hours driving this week (3.5 of that deadheading) there ARE NO advantages

Thats it. Buying a straight
