I never had a good dispatcher. I'm doing Amazon so there is no need. If you want the good money you need to get on DAT and just talk to brokers every day. Some are lowballing :censoredsign: heads but you must cut through that. It's intimidating for sure. You will be on the phone all day some days. But...

You are right on the specs actually

It's a gas version so I think it's a 7.5L, 8cyl engine. Thing has some giddyup though, don't need the slow lane on hills even with 10k pounds.. I understand this engine will last a significantly less amount of time than a cummins however.

No I used a truck vin to start. I did not play any games there. I put up the Amazon level ($1mm/$2mm) up front and paid more but I got Amazon and authority activated within a reasonable amount of time so the extra money wasn't too bad. I could have finessed it a bit and saved with the "hack"...

¿Que?

Yeah I finally figured that out on a chance phone call with an insurance agent. Needless to say he became my agent. Using post scan mail instead of family or friends. This is important an should be utilized... Already active and truckin along. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the kind words. I am trying with all I got. I bought into some box truck you tube hype and hooked up with a mentor who I now realize was leading me the wrong way but the damage was done by time I came to my senses. I had his team dispatching me and I realized that this industry will...

So I am barely hanging on I'm not gonna lie. But I passed my 3 month authority. Talking to these brokers is the worst. I am dong Amazon but cancelled a load when I got sick and screwed my early access. Should have it back tomorrow (Sunday). Setting up OTR again but if I see EA on Sunday I...

Welp I'm in Hannibal MO for a Monday morning drop. I barely made it into the industry but I'm here hanging in. I solved my problems, some by throwing money at it some by just picking up the phone and making a few connections. I was close to just pulling the plug. I looked at my phone on...

Apparently I mistook this for a dig. I thought about it and see how I could misinterpret your posts and I apologize. There has been some negativity and one liners without much substance in regard to my posts. I may have mistakenly lumped you in with them. Cheers.

Someone doing Door Dash trying to call out an Uber driver in the 3rd biggest market in the USA (behind San Fran and Boston). You guys are hilarious. You can't drive in NYC because most of you don't have the stones for this, just like you need to think big and TRY...

Don't know if you are trying to be funny but Uber: has done well for me, I bought my car from Avis rental car, it's at 110k miles now over 5 years. I will pay it off and own outright next May ($15k paid, $219 monthly for 5 years). I haven't had a boss in 12 years, Uber/Lyft is responsible for...

I agree with this, as we speak I am missing busy season but it is what it is.

I put that in my rather large post above: expenses: truck rental = $1,800 monthly mileage = $1,312 (@ 15 cents per mile charged by rental company, 8,750 x .15) insurance = $2,100 ($1600 Progressive + $500 collision from Penske/Ryder etc. monthly) gas expense = $3,828 monthly = $9040

I own two transponders NY and NJ and switch them out accordingly...

I won't shy away I am here for the smoke! Thanks Ragman!

Please show me where I used the word lease in any of my posts except this one. Renting is different with no commitments. If I am correct, leasing involves some commitment...
