I run team with my wife. If B-in-Law would sell me his route I'd buy it and buy my wife her own route. We'd be home nites and weekends together. He won't sell it.:(

I have a brother-in-law that runs a run for Fedex ground. It's unusual cause it's a 24 ST. He only knocks out about 90 miles per day,delivering packages to Walmart,Home Depot, a hospital and various plants on his route. I rode with him and I loved it. Same faces everyday, but only for 3-15...

R e: Anyone run super singles? A few years back I wanted to switch an e unit from 8 tires to 4 SS. Flying J truck sales in Indianapolis sells thier old fleet trucks which all have SS. It's easier to sell the used truck to the un-educated with 8 drive tires. I had VERY good tires,4 alum and 4...

I've run them on 2 trucks. Good results all around. Do not have one negative thing to say.Got excellent wear,fuel economy,and on a deeply rutted section of road you'll ride over the ruts,not in them.

Could people on various drivers boards encourage a Fleet Owner Data Sheet to be generated by the carrier ? Ex. Fleet A has 6 trucks, and the drivers avg 2.4 years of service. The fleet has 1 service failure every 315,00 miles.Fleet B has 8 trucks,and the drivers avg 8 months of service.The fleet...

The most amazing thing I've learned since entering expediting 18 months ago is the crap some of these owners get away with and how they can do it repeatedly. I went to work for an owner in June, drove his truck 6 miles and quite within 24 hours. Luckily I hadn't signed his contract yet. I hooked...

Another thought; Just because the insurance was cheaper doesn't mean it was a bargin. I didn't get enough info to compare plans. It could be that thier plan is cheaper because it's priced at what it's worth.

I looked into this a few months ago and got the general idea that the the cost savings would outweigh the costs. Primarily associated with the cost of occ/health insurance. It was a flat rate. I assumed thier profits came from getting money quickly from the carrier and holding the 20% 2 weeks or...

Dave Ramsey's book is a wedding gift to every wedding we go to. If I read his book earlier in life I'd be retired now.

Hey,Why not make them an employee. Pay thier s/s and taxes. They may stay for a few years,be alittle more dedicated, and your business may flourish. You'd get a smaller piece of the pie. You may not even get to vacation more than once per year. What a price to pay for a stable/successful business !

The onspots weigh 135lbs per axle.Easily removed for summer driving

Propane APU ? Wouldn't that be a pain in some bridges or tunnels. Yeah ,I know RV's have propane bottles but I thought the other day I saw a tunnel that you had to have the bottle inspected prior to entering it.

Regardless of what you buy check with OOIDA finance dept. They had a program that I got into where the gov gave you back 40% of your purchase price in return for the usage no off your hour meter. And with a good credit score they financed it at 6.5% .You pick the unit, the dealer, then get thier...

Colorado's Level 2 says a tandem must chain 4 tires which is ONE axle. With no referance to wide based tires, 4 tires would mean BOTH axles. Confused, I asked a Walmart driver, based in Colo that had wide based tires , how Walmart interperted the rule. He is required to chain BOTH axles. Also...

We get our On-spots installed at the factory in Aug. I ran a bid for Roadway ( Chgo-Victorville,Ca ) that put me thru Denver-Vegas 6 times every 2 weeks. Triples west of G Jct most trips. I hope I never touch another chain ! Won't worry about getting hit while chaining up or losing body parts to...

it probably is more profitable for the company. It also will help as they switch to less savy o/o's. Dispatching will be easier if it all pays the same. We won't be turning down loads hoping for a better rate. Take it and run. Move,Move,Move will be the new mantra. Volume over quality. Glorifed...

BBQ cat ! Mmmm Does it taste like chicken ?
