Dieseldoctor1.......that is a great setup. I don't think you can beat that bed setup. What is your opinion on the larger aerocells? Curious, as this has came up several times and you apparently did alot of research on these. Davekc

You need to locate yourself where the freight is. If you are doing that and only recieving one load for three weeks out, I would look for another company before you go broke. Davekc owner 20 years

For a standard gm van chassis, Terry has probably got one of the nicest that I have seen. For the aero cell dealers, I will refer you to this link. www.unicell.com Hope that helps, or gives you something to compare. Davekc

I agree, what a nightmare!! Keep us posted on your situation. I hope this all turns out well for you. Davekc

The Areocells are built in Buffalo NY. Sounds like you have already convinced yourself to go with a Sprinter. With regards to the Areocell, they build them on Ford or GM chassis. They are under 10,000 lbs if speced correctly. Only concern with Sprinter is they seem to be problematic and...

RE: On our way to join all the great people of thi It is good to hear a positive experience about a dealer. Good luck with your new company and truck. If you have any questions there is somebody here that probably has the answer Good luck on your new adventure Davekc

If you do the airbag route as listed by LaPurr you would still have to add the landing gear if a tow motor is to enter the truck. Many of the plants (especially union ones) will require a visual to make sure you have them. and they are down for loading and unloading. Outside of that it would be...

As far as vans, Sprinters have more room and better economy, but are more expensive on the front end. If you haven't already, check out the areocells. Something inbetween a stock chassis (Ford or GM) and the Sprinter With regards to location with your choices, Atlanta first, followed by St...

I thought it was pretty funny myself Davekc

Re; Get_Ready2 Unless you are very experienced dealing with brokers only, I would go to a company that allows you to do both. Panther would be your best bet in that regard. They help you find some of the brokers in addition to handling the collections. They charge 15 percent of the brokered run...

RE: dieseldoctor are you still runnig your Aerocel Sounds high. Whatever the stock mpg is on a chassis, subtract 1 or 2 mpg and you are probably closer to reality. Terry may have alittle more insight on this than I. Davekc owner 20 years

Yes go-jo works well. Simple Green works well too. Spray it on the deisel and throw in the washer. Davekc

Good luck on your new venture. Based on some of your posts over the past month, I think you might be a little more stress free. Good luck on the new position Davekc

A Georgia State Trooper pulled a car over on I-95 about 2 miles south of the Georgia/South Carolina State line. When the Trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver answered that he was a Shrine Clown with a specialty as a magician and juggler, and he was on his way to Savannah to...

Glad to have you along Davekc

In addition to Glen's comments, I would review with whomever does your conversion that they do a weight ratio review. T2000 are usually pretty heavy on the front end. In addition to the frame issues, you may be replacing and or removing fuel tanks to lighten it up. Rear wheels or duals are...

RE: Buying vs. At $1.35, I think you are running for Panther. You should come out ok. Good luck, and have fun. Davekc

If so. that's good as I try to look at worst cases to see if we can hold up under lean times. I can't tell you how critical that point is. Depending on the time of year, you may have fantastic weeks and then hit a slow one. Management of your finances are paramount. In addition, you are...

ddperki wrote; That's 10000/month for 3 weeks work Just for a second opinion; This should be doable during the busier quarters. With some carriers this might be a tough number to achieve consistently. This is assuming that the $10,000 represents the gross numbers to the truck. The type of truck...

I like a team in these type trucks but it is not cost effective for singles. With 5 years you would think he would know that. Kind of a funny ad. I quess he can get a co-driver or keep dreaming Davekc
