    Expedite Solo in a Hino??

    I guess it all depends on what you want. Are you looking for 300 a week or 1000 a week Everyone's needs are different, If you can live on 300 and then you have a 1000 dollar week you will be very very happy, but if you have a 300 dollar week and you need 1000 you are going to be stressed...

    Expedite Solo in a Hino??

    The only thing I did right was lease my truck, so that when I lost work, I was able to get out from under the truck, If I would have bought a truck I would have been screwed. If I would have started out in a van I might be expediting at this time, but my life took another turn. If I got back...

    I drove a daycab straight for Ceva, tried my hand at expediting slightly with the daycab, obviously without a sleeper it wasn't very lucrative. Also did some work for an air freight company.

    Expedite Solo in a Hino??

    Honestly, there isn't enough money to split in a cargo van, unless you can work for a year for little pay just to pay your dues, much better to look for a Sprinter:) I believe a Sprinter can make just about as much as a solo straight truck with less hassle

    No refrigerator because of problems, no apu or ac in sleeper also it is an automatic, so those mpg numbers are probably optimistic, since you almost always have to floor the darn thing to keep up in traffic, I remember slowing down just going over overpasses LOL 800 a week does seem low, I'll...

    Expedite Solo in a Hino??

    The trucks are underpowered, you won't be able to climb a hill at anything faster than 40 The ride is terrible, I find Internationals ride much nicer 9.5 to 10 if your going downhill if your lucky I averaged 8 to 9 going 65 The AC is very anemic. I also had overheating problems and the...
