    Big Truck Class 8 vs class 7 pros and cons !

    He’ll be able to haul 95% of dry loads and probably most reefer loads. The dry van can haul most dry loads, but almost no reefer loads. A tandem reefer, with a team, is at the top of the food chain in this industry. At a top notch carrier, there’s the potential to do well. With the jobs they...

    Big Truck Class 8 vs class 7 pros and cons !

    Closer to $300,000 for a nice reefer. Wife’s inexperience should not be a problem.

    Big Truck Class 8 vs class 7 pros and cons !

    Another big issue can be lack of insurance. Personal stuff. You’re used to medical and possibly dental. Quality insurance is costly in a self pay system. These guys bragging about the tax benefits of being an IC are often in the 30-40 k arena., If you run hard , and are smart/lucky, you and...

    Big Truck Class 8 vs class 7 pros and cons !

    I would highly recommend going to a fleet owner truck. At least for a year. Be sure this is a good fit for both of you before you spend $$$ on a truck. It’s easier to give notice if you don’t have to loose major money on a truck. It will also help you figure out what you want, or don’t want...

    An odd companion to have while trucking!

    Will he get motion sickness ? Other than that, I see no downside. Secure the aquarium securely. DO NOT put WE LIKE LIZARDS bumper stickers on truck. That won’t turn out well.

    The gasket is more commonly called a boot. The regs you’d need to are safety restraints and such. Don’t forget a carbon monoxide detector. And make the wall between you and the freight strong enough to keep the freight out of the bedroom. And make it air tight.

    straight truck with home made sleeper?

    Yes, research past posts. They’ve been talked about in the past. I see no problem if you’re running solo. You can log off duty 10 hrs and sleep on the roof if you’d like. If you want to log sleeper time, as a team, or to split break, you’ll need a sleeper that meets the regulations. You’ll...
