    Most that start factoring get themselves in a circle. My .02 is don't start factoring. It's not better than tightening your belt a bit.

    Why are they asking for a resume?

    There ya go there Hot Freight. "Can't hurt" eh? Some never, never will get it. Amazing, ain't it. Top O the list ain't bad, i'd suggest. Many won't "wanna" conform to reality, and will go their own way, and fail, then still blame the system for their failure.

    Extra Money Expediting

    Carpunky, if your fear of failure is greater than your desire to succeed then, don't do it. Otherwise, go for it. Many of your responders are the former. So why ask us clowns.

    Nah. Was not insinuating anything. The only message here wuz- you are the paying customer, don't allow others to force you costly errors. Details were not watched it seems. Above all, YOU dictate the delivery, not someone else, when things are right and good to go.

    Hino Nightmare

    You kinda read like a nuther fella that types on here, and has all the answers. My question is then, why did you accept delivery in the first place if you understood it was not right, and with your wrenching skills, why don't you fix it? I understand parts are expensive, but downtime ain't...

    Hino Nightmare

    I guess hind sight is 20/20 for you now, and you wish you had not accepted delivery of that truck in your haste to "get rolling", with what you have described as obvious speching mistakes. Many will listen to the sales people about delivery schedule, and "claim" to be truck experts, when, they...

    Panther tractors...$1.30 a mile?

    Well, putting it that way, then bout two thirty would be equitable, considering what is being charged the customer. Other miles, for poops and grins, to a truck stop, or sumpin else should be on you for sure. On a side note, it's been a long, long time since i've seen so much freight...

    Yepper it wuz more. But, if you have to or choose to wait for the administrative bs, you may as well go on vacation. Interestingly, bout the time we were going to settle. Katrina came along, and the insurance company for the other truck is based in LA. Funny how things not related to your...

    Panther tractors...$1.30 a mile?

    A buck thirty all miles in a tractor?? How can that be appealing to you?? I wouldn't even consider that rate for, watsit-- a New York second. But, like Dave types, we do waaayyyy beter'n that with straight trucks, and you can always change your mind.
