hey gojack, Where in cincy are you, I'm near miamitown

try great west casualty. I just switched to them and saved my fleet $14,000 dollars per yr. 2 million in liability, and 100,000 in cargo.

Hey, just saw your post. We do accounting/tax work. We use Quickbooks pro 2004, and can handle All aspects of trucking WE are at 6765 E. Miami River road. Cleves Ohio 45002 (really right outside Miamitown across from Wayne pole bldgs.)

I may not be 100% right but As far as taxes go, If the lease has a $1.00 buyout at the end, then it is considered a purchase, not a lease and as such must be depreciated. Now, if it is a lease with a residual of 10% or more you should be ok deducting the cost of lease payments in the year...

Well I have to disagree about macks I have a 2000 Mack Cl 713 and it has a 460XT engine (487 HP @ 1800)(1760 Tq @ 1700) This engine is in front of a 13 speed transmission and runs like a scalded dog. I can actually outrun cars from a stop when empty. It pulls loads up the Ky cut in the hill at...

man, I about had an accident right here in my chair. That was good!

I was there Saturday and met Lawrence. The show was huge. I only made it thru 1/2 of it. Didn't even make it to the new trucks building.

RE: You need to have your kentucky # posted on the We run ky every day and do not have kyu # on trucks. They verify that you have kyu by your mc #. Did you have a KYU # in the first place? If you did, Did you let Ky know what your dot and mc # are when you got the KYU?

I get $1.00 per mile

on the sprinter, I paid 25,700 for mine. That was with the aux heater, and it is the 2500 series, 140" wheelbase.

The engine is a DOHC design. The chain is plenty beefy. The service manual does NOT say anything about timing chain replacement. They specify a axle fluid change every 60,000 miles, and to change the Auto trans fluid/filter at 80,000 miles. Don't be scared of Sprinter vans. They won't bite you.

I can post a pic of the chains if you like. They seem plenty strong to me.

how big of a wheelbase are you going for??

RE: How about a 50,000 lb. payload straight truckk I wouldn't lease it on, as that is what I do. I would got out and drum up business. I am just looking for an idea of the amount of heavy machinery type loads that are going on out there. Most of what I haul is very dense. i.e. heavy weight...

I am considering removing a dump body from one of my 7 axle dump trucks. The chassis is legal for 77,500 gross wt. With a 26 ft. box, it would weigh about 26,000 - 27,000 lbs. This would give me a solid 50,000 lb. payload. Is there enough heavy things being moved yet that could be moved by...

i was on Southfield that day. Wasn't me was it???

Our sprinters are trouble free so far. I run Delvac 1 in the engines, and change approx 10-12 K miles. Ours run dedicated lanes from Ky area to Michigan. They run full tilt all the way up and back. The speedo is off by about 5 so at 88 we really are going 80-83 (drivers do not run this fast...

this site is good. They have pure sine and modified sine. http://www.donrowe.com/inverters/inverters.html#xantrex

an update on my sprinter As far as the oil filter tool, There isn't one. The filter is standard, but small. The dealer was just trying to get me to bring it to them. That is the same reason they tried to deny warranty on the side door latch. They (Freightliner of Cincy) said that if you do not...
