I get 11 mpg on a MBE 900 260. Tranny is 6 spd manual.Those numbers sound like salesman talk.Especially with a auto trammy.It might be possible if you are on a straight run,holding it right on 55mph. I have achevied 13 mpg under these conditions.

I have a 16'box on my "c"Truck,so there is an extra 2'for my tools and personal gear.Removable shelves and a fork truck baracade were put in.This gives me the space and ability to do repairs and fabrication on the road.This way I dont have to be a slave to the truck if and when we ever get...

I agree that a straight truck would be a better choice for a team.When ever we reach a layover (Express Center) there are allways a few vans waiting for dispatch.There are always fewer trucks.Therefore there seems to be a glut of vans. Why not consider a "C" size.This is the most requested size...

You need to search the archives on this subject.This Co has been discussed(and cussed)several times.I would put up the links but I`M too computer iliterate for that.

Cant help much with this question,because our "C"is under 26,000 and exempt from these additional taxes. How is it going with your new gig?have you made your first load?

Every carrier is free to make their own formula.The one at FECC is very complicated,but I can tell you it is based upon the previous months avg fuel price.Since the first of the year,we have rec $4300.00 in rebates.This really helps out.100% of surcharge goes to the contractor.

Truckstop.net is good and getting better all the time Flying J service and connections are better. WE use both.

How about a lounge in every Express Center? (The Tooth Fairy Told me to say that)

What carrier did you finally decide to go with?Who ever it is they are lucky to have you.You seem to have the right attitude for this business. BEST OF LUCK...Hope to see you out there again. P.S.What engine did you get in your Sterling$

I am very interested in getting into the expediting , >Another question is we would like to go out for 4 to 6 days >and then be home for 3 or 4 days is this possible. Yes it is possible,but you will not like the money you make.Especially if you need to support two households.Most succesful...

RE: Recruiters, why should I sign my D unit with y LDB I think you are going to find those semi loads for a D truck are rare. E Truck drivers haul a lot of D loads,D trucks carry 75% C loads. The idea that bigger is better will allways persist in this industry. If on the other hand...

The time given to the driver is allways the time observed by the carriers home terminal.IE the times used by FECC,Panther.Tri State.Would allways be the Eastern time zone since they are located in Ohio. It is up to the dispatcher to convert the customers time into "Terminal time". It usally...

Any time is a good time for freight around the chi area.As long as your company has not glutted the area with vans

IVAN took out the EB lanes of I10 at Pensacola Fl.(Bridge over the bay) also damaged the WB lanes.Wonder how long it will take to get that fixed?

LDB...I enjoyed talking to you at the FJ Temple Ga TS(before IVAN the terrible sent you scrambling for cover). One thing I failed to mention was some companys can get you moving from your home base better than others.Houston has allways been good for us at FECC.I dont know about the others you...

I think Lawrence would agree that the lines are really blurred on just what the term Expediting means. It seems every freight salesman wants to call their operation Expedite.It has become a catch word that is sometimes far from the concept that Roberts Express invented in 1976.Leagly there is...
