Just wondering how all of you in straight trucks are doing. I know that January/February are 'slow' months, but is this January/February slower than normal? Dormant? We are down about 44% from last year and going down even more from the way this week is starting, so just wondering if it's bad...

On a Cummins ISC 330...

After too long with Fedex, happy to move my second straight truck over to Load 1....have had nearly a year to compare the two, and...there is no comparison. SO - now to find a good team and it will be a nice start to the summer.

I know the standard owner/driver pay is 60/40 one way or the other in most cases that I've seen. Believe I did see one that was 58/42, but in thinking of this, was wondering if anyone has considered something different? I have two trucks, one I pay 60%, the other 40%, with fuel charges and fsc...

Just when things were going good, finally got the truck running good and making some money the past few weeks, someone bashes into the truck while it's sitting at the TA in Elkton, MD. While it will get fixed and the insurance will pay (their insurance), has anyone had this situation and did...

Just bought a 2008 Sterling with a cummins 330 engine, has about 422,000 miles. I've read older posts about regen issues on this engine, but guess I thought that after this many miles that problem, if it was one, would have been taken care of already. Mistake on my part. Just wondering what...

Something I've seen in a few threads (the Eclipse Expediting one, for instance), the idea of leasing with several different companies. I never thought or even considered that a possibility...but, I've seen several mentions of it, saying this or that company is small and can't keep you busy...

I am hoping to get back into this business after nearly 20 years of sitting behind a desk...and at first I am hoping to just be the owner, not the operator. But, I am fast learning that things have changed a lot since I was involved (owned several tractors leased to different companies and also...

I'll try this here as I didn't get any response in the newbie section - just looking for general info, thoughts, not so much specifics - I know those need to be worked out with the company, whichever one I choose. I was in trucking nearly 20 years ago (cargo van with CTX plus several tractors...

I was in trucking nearly 20 years ago (cargo van with CTX plus several tractors with non-expeditors), am strongly considering getting back into it as a fleet owner to supplement my income (plus, I like it and miss it). I am sure a lot of things have changed and just wanted to pick some well...
