    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    Thanks, but don't follow too close. I do my own thing that works best for me. We all have different goals and aspirations which makes expedite trucking appeal to a variety of people. Like Big Stick said in another thread: "Exactly the reason to expedite". .

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    Its a common assumption made by expedite truck drivers.

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    The cargo van market is over saturated but basing it on van count by driving by a truck stop is a common mistake. Vans are parked out front and usually grouped together, especially at the Detroiter where they are all parked in a nice straight row. I agree with Road Time that 13 vans is pretty...

    Cows eat corn and other plants. Cows are herbivores. Kinda like being a vegan but without the attitude!

    Fuel Stats 2015 Transit

    I deadheaded home Tuesday afternoon from Chicago. I wanted to be home for the 4th and we have a wedding tomorrow afternoon. I do what I do and it works for me. As the price of fuel rises I do rethink the deadhead.

    I can give you the number of per diem days I claim for tax purposes, 87.5 days. I will deadhead home most weekends and relocate on my own dime if I can't get a paid relocate.

    Did you ever get what Ford called the Final Flex Disc Fix? The latest flex disc looks different than the originals. Maybe when you got the new motor the Final Flex Disc Fix was installed and Ford wasn't aware of the new motor etc. Can you post a pic of your current flex disc?

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    You're young, have dreams and one year can seem like an eternity. If you want to do the van thing you should probably get a savings account with a local credit union, not a bank. Make regular deposits and next year some time see about a loan. A class A license will definitely help you get on...

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    Do you have a Class B or Class A license? Do you have any straight truck or tractor/trailer experience? If not it may be more difficult for you to find a fleet owner willing to hire you than it is getting a loan for a van.

    That's okay. I was on my 3rd coffee when I came up with that Hitler stuff.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA

    Old Smedley was dead long before Kissinger allegedly made the remark in question. All I wanted to know was the context in which Kissinger utter those words. Context is everything when throwing out a quote. Hitler once said: "I love the Jewish People". Hard to believe old Adolph would say...

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    7 years and they won't give you a loan? Who told you that you don't have enough "lines of credit"? That doesn't even make sense. Even at your young age you should have some credit history. Hopefully it isn't negative. Get yourself a credit card or two and go buy a few tanks of gas. Pay off...
