    GMC vs Ford

    I'd still like to know if they CAN mess with an under 10k. Pretty sure an under 10k loaded to over 10k is now subject to DOT rules, dually or no dually. Providing someone actually stops and weighs it I'm gonna stop wondering before I confuse myself any further

    GMC vs Ford

    Lots of info and experience in that one. I guess the stories I've heard would have been the 3 valve...and that price for engine! I'm not getting a reman Sprinter 2.7 for 3 grand You have a light van. The duallies weigh out around 7500 lbs or more, I think that's everyone's issue. And the reason...

    Spec'ing a Straight Truck for MPG

    What's funny, is FlyingVan saying he wished he'd moved to straights from vans a long time ago, and you saying you wished you'd moved to vans from straights a long time ago :p Anyway 2 votes for heavy straight = not worth it for expedite. I basically wanted it cause I don't know how to place...

    Carriers, riddle me this

    A little one sided, no? I've been available 37 days straight and had 5 runs... But explain WHY. 10 full time trucks and 10 part time = 10 more than 10 fulltime trucks (to me) Here's my reasoning. A truck available once per week, is one more chance for extra money for both carrier and driver...

    GMC vs Ford

    Actually there isn't anything to be confused about. Guido's is SRW I believe, under 10k Without a pic, I can only surmise SoG is dually...with all that entails...

    Hmmm, 1 week without a run. Must be the driver shortage

    GMC vs Ford

    Yeah. Our method is different, the customer is made aware. Whether the shipper is, that's harder

    GMC vs Ford

    For what this thread turned into: Communication issue. I don't think a small truck should show up at a place that can't load it either. But in 12 years, I haven't been steered wrong by my carrier. We've gotten a fair amount of new business from shippers that simply didn't know the size or...

    Carriers, riddle me this

    Yeah, I was hoping it wasn't the "power trip" factor That's really not helpful to either carrier or o/o Wondering what the official reason could be :D

    GMC vs Ford

    Would it not be easier to just get a class B and a straight? I hear there's too many vans (and I haven't moved this week)

    GMC vs Ford

    Well if he gets shippers used to "small straights" maybe it'll make my life easier Usually some higher up makes the decision (saving money or time) to send me, and after I get blasted by the shipper, they creak open that rusty side door and load me outside...
