BIG rigs rule but with the new HOS the only way to make decent $$ is runnin team.(truck load or expediting). I left and went to an LTL carrier and aveage 3050 miles a week and make fine $$ 5.days out and 2 off every week(by the house arnd 3 times a week). Works for me and HOS are no problem...

One way to go is to take over payments or term lease with an option to purchase. Several opportunities are in the classified section of this site. If you see one that you like call on it, I think you'll find that most people selling are willing to lease w/an option as a sitting truck is $$ out...

Well said, can't be that bad though. At least you've done alot of homework.Guess you've already got the 411 and really are lookin for the 911 ( :: ) heres a band aid, hope it helps.LOL, Best of luck! Keep it between the lines and take care of each other.

Definetly the best advise! OOIDA can give you all the info and contacts you need. They have a great load board and even give credit ratings on who's posting the load.Several other sections and an 800# for any questions. If someone doesn't pay...they'll go get 'em for you or at least assist. Best...

Don't mean to nit pick but I think you need 411-information not 911-HELP!! LOL Keep it between the lines and take care of each other.

They are a forwarder but considering that most forwarders,generally speaking and may or may not include EGL,contact expediting companies direct to move some of their shpmnts, working for them can be very lucrative(no middle man...). All forwarders are commited to time sensative demands and if...

Found my quote for a KW 2001 T-300, physical damage($1653.60 per yr.)includes 5% haz-mat loads,Unladen liability $1056.96 per yr. BOTH for $232.70 per mo. $1000.00 deductable Occupational accident (w/c) $118 per mo. for $500,000 coverage and $141.00 for $2,000,000 coverage. You will need all...

Best bet where this is concerned is to join ooida. They will quote you all you need over the phone and VERY good rates (at least what I think) with monthly installments and no credit hassles. If you are running for a company,they will provide cargo ins.almost all do. You need phyis.dam.,unladen...

Wrong web site...right catagory. I have to assume you mean the odometer when you say clock as alot of rigs use both. New tires will help fuel milage some but running correct preasure (checked OFTEN) helps more. To ask the mpg with relation to 500k vs 100k seems to indicate that you have alot to...

O.K. folks I think he's left by now... Keep it between the lines and take care of each other.

I guess I will reserve comment then...:7

Wellll, only you can say whats good where you are concerned, as each of us has our own expense level. I would be very interested in how the d/h miles are figured as it would seem alot of "authorized" 95 mile d/h runs are on the horizon(with ALOT more,but doubtfully authorized) I would bet they...

Living close is a bonus but doesn't mean they will keep you happy! I too have drug a 53' around this land of ours and given the "druthers" am pretty sure I'd stay with the 53'..possibly with EITHER venue. I have also worked it in some tight places and know exactly what you mean as far as...

If you go to the job ads on this site you will find quite a few advertize for drivers there. I have spoken with Pat & Sue from Freedom express Lynden TN.,D&J as well as Nations. Several others are there. Find the closest fit for you and start calling...ALL the middle men are there. Keep it...

I've done both and you are right. At least you can run your "E" for an exped. and see how they run you with the higher pay or go to a common carrier if it doesn't work out and run 2500 to 3200 miles a wk. (solo!)for aprox.$0.84 cpm (O/O rate) with perks,beni's and PAID orientation.(This has...

Didn't mean to offend..or insinuate anything derogetory,just state my thought on the "panther" runnin which was the original subj. I am pleased if those folks are content, but as a general rule the miles involved are terrible!(aprox.5-300mile runs in 5 days?!?)BUT, also said he was on one at the...

BUSY? Thats SOLO work! Spinnin wheels (for a team)maybe but come net pay day I think that qualifies for food stamps in most states...feeds the truck, what about the operator(S)? Keep it between the lines and take care of each other.

Join the Marines...:)This is the same deal as the military! It all depends on what you are ready to put into it, but some are viewed by some as better than others.Best bet;as mentioned all the time on this site,is to run awhile for an owner with one co.or the other and see which one fits YOU the...

Based on what you're asking it would seem to me that you would do well with either... BUT,not in expediting per se. Go to your local airport and solicit the forwarders(ie;Danzas,Kuene&Nagel,expeditors- international,etc AND their local cartage agent(they will run you at a % but get you alot of...

Hows everyone doin? Lookin to find out some info on frt. runnin out of DFW. Anyone with some updated info-I know its usually good off the airport....and select shippers Keep it between the lines and take care of each other.
