Steer axle weight is 12k unless you got some bigger tired on your steer. If you're spending 100k on a truck why not get one with tandem drives? It will give you more load opportunities.

Your best bet is to try to develop a lane where you have multiple customers to pull freight for on both ends. That's what I do. I've got my Memphis customers and my Ohio customers. It works for me, and I'm doing good. I keep a load on my back and I keep rolling. I don't haul at discount rates...

No offense, but this isn't a chat room per say. If you have questions about the Expediting Industry I know someone will answer them.

If your looking to get into Sprinters/Cargo Vans you can do like Poorboy is suggesting and post an ad in the free classifieds.

It's like Kenny Rogers said " You gotta know when to hold em and you gotta know when to fold em."

You also need to know all deductions will be coming out of your settlement besides just the the van payment. Those deductions add up fast.

I know Panther and the Fed had E-Units pulling flatbeds and step decks last I heard. I've also heard of a few D-Units with flatbeds and curtainsides on with Landstar Express America. I've heard of some independents running them, but them but not many. I also don't know how much work any of the...

semi22, no one can really tell you what vehicle you will enjoy the best but you. Let's talk about flatbed for a moment. When the vans and box trucks are bumping a dock and getting loading all they have to do as far as securing most loads takes maybe 5-15 minutes and it's done inside the...

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned here is alot of truckload carriers used to advertise lease purchase with no money down. I don't know if they do it any more. It's generally a used tractor and by time you get through making all the lease payments you've put so many miles on it it's not...

How is that a line of garbage? I was talking about agreements between owners and drivers. If carriers are gonna start playing referee then they would legitimately have to hold both groups accountable. I think the carriers know what they are doing.

Why would a carrier get involved in a contracter/sub contracter issue? The two large expedite carriers I've hauled for told us straight up from the get go in oreintation they weren't going to side with drivers or owners. It's just not in their best intrest. Yes it does suck to have your stuff...

Everybody's always got to be hating on West Memphis. Don't be scared! Alot of those guys yall are scared of I used to know back in school then we had to part ways for obvious reasons. I've never been bothered in the West Memphis truck stop area. I have been on the south side of Broadway...

You misunderstood what I said I do believe. Anyone can get a username on this site. Meaning someone from a load board website could get one and advertise for free, which is against the code of conduct. I'm just saying, when your first post is promoting a product and it is followed up by another...

I just looked at that site. The guy said there is a trial. That's bs. All they say is they have a refund policy and I'm sure like anyone else they'll hassel the crap out of you before giving you that refund.

is it just me or does it seem funny that the last 2 posts are basicly advertisments by first time posters?

From the way the A+ ad reads it sounded like they are looking for flatbed straight trucks.
