Hey Greg, Would a team of ducks in a truck be a **FLY BY NIGHT TEAM**? Sorry about that, could not resist.

Was just wondering out loud. I thought it might help me learn about picking drivers if I ever wanted to start a fleet. I do know someone who might be interested. I have known them for 2 years and know how they work. I would most likely go that route if I do anything. It is hard to get hunting...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening LOL, if it's luck it's the first time in our lives so I guess it's due. Our last run was 1900mi and this one is 2500. Not our norms but we did not say no. Most runs are around 750 to 1000 mi range. Layoutshooter.

Hey Greg, We are a LLC in Michigan. Our tax guy advised this BEFORE we even bought a truck. We were still running for an owner. It's very easy in Mich to do a LLC. Can be done online in about 20 minutes and at very little cost. Layoutshooter

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower We are not sure about the reefer ever paying for itself, but then, we have only had it for a little over 2 months. We will make the choice on our next truck based on what happens with this one. FedEx pays %61 to reefer trucks on every load and...

RE: Any Elite drivers getting passed by for lower Many types of explosive/chemical loads cannot be put on a reefer truck. Also, most, not all, reefer trucks have smaller inside dementions than do other trucks of the same size. THis is due to the type of insulation used on most reefer boxes...
