    Lease purchase

    One of the best threads I've seen here..... Raceman you are wise beyond your years..... Night Rider my first driving opportunity (15 years ago),was a lease purchase plan. It was too good to be true. I realized down the road that everytime I got a little ahead, the company (Commercial Carrier...

    Lease purchase

    DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to be in the drivers seat as far as ownership goes, save your cash and buy a truck....If thats not feasible, then your chances of suceeding in business are abysmal. If you own your own truck, you are a business owner first, and driving the...

    need a PM from a Nations Express driver

    Being a previous contractor with Nation's, it is my experience that they sometimes don't run a really tight ship,(who does these days?), but they never, ever, shorted our pay, or failed to pay us. God Bless America

    Sunday Night in Arkansas

    Right on about the Arkansas Roads. In 2003 we were caught up in a snow storm in Arkansas, (and it wasn't that bad of a storm). They shut down I40, for 8 hours, and when it was opened back up, it took us 10 hours to travel 140 miles west to east, and the Interstate was so ice rutted the jarring...

    Today News

    No doubt about..Split speed limits are revenue generators....They certainly do not enhance safety... I put quite a few miles on in Michigan, and its very,very rare you see a big truck abiding by the split speed limits...... Their obvious dedication to their dispatchers, must be worth the extra...

    Thanks ATeam for your interpretation! I'm sure that it was directed to all those individuals; that YOU felt were unable, (for some unknown reason) to discern whether the thread was negative or positive. Just to save you the trouble, and to reach the audience that your comment was directed to...

    Margie's figures represent hard evidence as to who will benefit from the fsc reduction!!!!! And it sure isn't the owner operator. Any good bean counter will be able to "hide the profits", that will be reaped from this "greatplan" Quote "As a result we discriminate against our customers in...

    Which company to choose

    Living in North Carolina, I would look closely at Nations Express. We ran with them last year until the new HOS fiasco. They are a good company, pay well, and you'll have no trouble getting freight out of and into your area... Best of luck in your endeavors.... :) God Bless America

    A Team

    The Xteam has been trying to cause hate and discontent over on the Expediter's voice, masquerading as the ATeam. Looks like he's gotten bored over there and has moved here. It's possible this is a 14 year old kid, I don't think a mature adult would conduct himself in this fashion... God Bless...

    Ceramic Heater?

    IMHO the small propane catalytic (??spelling) heater is the best way to go. Get one at Walmart, small bottle will last up to 14 hours. Warm and cozy, no carbon monoxide to worry about, and if you think your sleeper might be a little too airtight, crack a window... God Bless America

    leather or cloth interior

    First thing we upgraded after we purchased our FL70 was the driver's seat. It was a new soft glove leather Bostrum wide ride. This seat had been removed from a new Peterbilt 379(too big for the little lady that had ordered the truck). Not only did we get a great deal on the seat, but it was as...
