    I'm amazed!

    when a customer orders an E unit either ER or just E,and fdcc sends in 2 straight trucks to service the customer,that customer is only paying for 1 E type unit.If it takes 2 straight trucks to cover the load,fdcc pays the difference in charges,the customer is not charged for 2 straight...

    I'm amazed!

    Phil, this is so true,the day I feel my carrier isnt the best,is the day I will leave.I dont have to compare what I get to what someone else gets,it's not just the money,there are many things that factor into what we all get from the companies we decide to partner with.Yes, they are our...

    Old Rt 66

    I'm amazed!

    Cheri,its much easier for the flat bed guys to do multi load hauls than the rest of us.Its possible that Gary could pull 3 exclusive use loads at the same time.One customer might have an engine,needing the drop deck,another might have a small machine,that could be put on one of the decks,and...

    a little advise please

    if your buying used,gear ratios are going to be ruffly the same.THe kw and pete will get you the best resale value,but your not going into this for resale your in this venture for profit.Volvos are heavy,the aero dynamic trucks will get the best fuel mileage,but alot has to do with your driving...

    How long do you Stay out?

    I read this question all the time,for all size units.I happen to live in an area that can keep my size unit busy.I usually stay out 10 days,then home for 3 days.Staying out,unless you stay in busy areas,will have you sitting around too much.Now if you live where you have a hard time getting...
