You don't run cheaper because of no truck payment,you still will either replace the one your driving or rebuild it,and that is an expense you cant get around.If you want to run cheap,you have to change your mode of operation.Less dead head,better fuel economy,do oil samples so you can extend...

I like that idea Dave,but i cant get that close to the building.I've been know in the winter time to run a 50 footer out the window and plug in my block heater,I shouldn't have said that,LOL

Moose, you hit the nail right on the head.Ive been an owner opp for almost 30 years,Ive only put a down payment on 1 truck.Sure the payment is higher,but the interest and depreciation will over shadow that expense,and if it doesn't work out,you loose the truck,your not out any out of pocket money.

In the beginning,expedite was making sure the customer didn't have to shut the line down, cause he ran out of product.Usually a couple pallets would hold him over, 'til the rest of the product showed up on a regular carrier. As more and more companies went to the just in time way of keeping...

not chocking,going home,my tooth is killing me

In a nut shell,having a truck that is capable of hauling anything FDCC has to offer,is a plus.This will get you loaded when another may sit for long periods of a time.Is it worth the initial investment,well it will keep you busier.Will your bottom line be better,only time will tell.

In most cases,cheap is what won't turn a profit,therefore,what's cheap to me might not be to someone else.

Over the years, FDCC has found owners that were stopped, and red tagged at DOT inspections, cause they had their inspections that were not done by qualified inspectors.Yes they were mechanics at qualified shops,but not all the mechanics at these shops have been to clinics for all aspects of...

Sounds like he's getting LG offers,or some of the other highly discounted loads.I know most of the D truck owners say they can't do the $1.20 / mile freight,but guess what,ask one of those Forward Air teams what they are getting per mile in their tractor trailers.They wish they made that much. I...

You know if your going to haul what is considered cheap freight,maybe your better off not knowing what it cost to actually run your truck.I even bet when most people figure their cost,they don't figure the cost of replacement.Or how about this,they take the truck payment out,instead of...
