Not quite sure what your question is? Davekc

For this type of information to be of value, you need other pieces of the puzzle. The amount of trucks is one piece. But in addition, you likely will need the following; How many trucks within the fleet total are actually in service? Breakdown of vehicle sizes. Total of loads vs available...

Sorry, totals are not listed that way. You are correct, you will need a recruiter for vehicle type totals. Examples of comparing "C" units to "D" units. For additional info go to www.dot.gov. then to safety and security, and then to company searches. Info can be retrieved by company name, DOT...

I checked for you. They list them as power units. Power units as of 4/08/05 is 1477 Drivers as of the same date are 2519 Davekc

Information on fleet size and safety record is available at www.fmcsa.dot.gov Davekc

There was a short duration of time that all companies were effected by an absence of trucks following both hurricanes. I recieved my information through various brokers and not a QC message. I will say at least, they informed their fleet of what was going on. Lastly, it is apparent that the...

As for the question of fuel, it's all about supply and demand. So true. I would apply that thought as well to the transportation industry. Rates will increase when there are less drivers and available equipment to move the freight. I think we are just about at that point now. Davekc

I don’t want to bust your chops but I am struggling to find your “simple logic” I must be in the running for DA of the month because I can’t figure out this logic no matter how I flip the numbers around. I again will use your example for figuring. This will benefit new folks in different ways...

I agree. I have a team running that is based in Arlington, and they do get home at least every two weeks or more. But, it may be a quick stop off while on a run ect. They usually aren't in a position to take several days in a row unless they have a run that takes them straight to Dallas. As Leo...

Assuming is your problem. Your analysis may be close if every single run was like that..... Two things you did not read in my post.. Do not Micro manage Do not get wrapped around the axle All I can say is I am doing very well the way I run. I have never turned down a load. Above budget in...

Tractors with dump bodies are getting $900.00 to $1200 per day. The dump bodies can be rented or leased for $25.00 to 30.00 per day. Davekc

RE: IS ANYBODY MAKING MONEY DRIVING WITH THESE GA For what it is worth. The ones that are failing are usually in the below catagories. accepting unprofitable loads. following advice from the inexperienced excessive deadhead mismanagement of income overspent on equipment running with little...

He is trying to find the bigger Cat engine. A C15. He will struggle to find one at $12,000 unless it is used. But I agree, $25,000 for a C15 is pretty high The new cats at $12,000 are the 3126's . Too small for a star. Davekc

RE: IS ANYBODY MAKING MONEY DRIVING WITH THESE GA Big Desiel just am not understanding why with FSC people keep saying they cant make ends meet, can someone give me a breakdown especially you guys that say you are broke. There are always two very broad ends of the spectrum when it comes to...

RE: IS ANYBODY MAKING MONEY DRIVING WITH THESE GA Hey Simon..........you knew it was bound to happen sooner or later:7 That was funny. Be safe out there Davekc

Have you looked in Wyoming for a Cat dealer? They may have a few additional options like a reman ect. $25,000 sounds too high. Even though you are obviously pressed for time, I would do alittle more research. And as mentioned, I wouldn't be afraid to tow it if the ends justify the means. Good...
