Hey thanks for the info... I'm about to take my test for CDL anyway...thought I'd ask..... How is the climate out there...getting warmer or still cold (load wise )....????

Are they legit...can you drive a straight truck or even a cargo van without a CDL ??? If so is anyone running that way that cares to discuss ??? Thanks, Tazman

Hi, You indicate that you have really "bad credit".... Do you own a vehicle now ??? Did you or have you made timely payments ???? Have you declared a bankrupcy ??? Judgements or tax liens ???? If anything shows up...it's doubtful you could get "bought" on a unit like this...especially for...

Hi All, I've finally decided to get my CDL (after all these years)...and today I went down to get my paper work setup.... Has anybody ever purchased or used the companies online that sell help to pass your written test (i.e. www.cdlexam.com) ?????? Are they worth the money ???? My CDL...

Hi, Since I'm the guy who got this idea of leasing started...I'll work up some numbers at the office tomorrow and post them.... For the record...I'll be using a TRAC lease option and a conventional loan as examples.... TRAC leases (Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause) are really only way to...

Hi, Happy Holidays to all... I often get requests from customers about this very subject...and a lot of times dealers (especially salesman) often over look the lease aspect of securing a vehicle. Mainly because they (dealer) gets a nice portion of the fee that the banks they used gave them for...

I think from what I've read ...this is a lease between an operator and a carrier to carry cargo on a scheduled trip..... I'm not sure if it is a one-time deal or an ongoing agreement... I think it spells out what the carrier requires of the operator relating to that particular trip/cargo/truck...

Hey Greg, Good Luck to Ya.... Keep us (lurkers) posted on your progress Frank in Pa. "The Beast in the East":)

Thanks Dave, I guess that's why there are so many vans for sale... RE: Leases.... Most people are used to getting "fleeced" in a "lease" ...because they have had bad experiences with a closed end product...(i.e. set # of miles in the term) and they end up driving way more than the...

Hi Greg, Enjoyed your note...as I have been lurking on the board for some time (over a year now) myself...your comments echo mine as well.... To begin, if you lease your Sprinter....how are you handling the mileage (TRAC lease ????) I currently sell Sprinters as well as other units and have...

After seeing the comments about raising the box ...I'm not sure I agree..... Most manufacturers of truck bodies have strict rules about adding anything to the frame rails to alter the body installation..... Especially raising the height..... With liability issues as they are today...why would...

Te big question....I see .. IS: Will you find a team that will work 40/weeks a year and drive an average of 3750 miles/week ?????? (3.5 weeks per month) Is there enough work out there to support that ???? When you take into consideration the slooooow months (summer, etc.) Will any teams...

Hi, I have built a similar business plan (using myself and my wife) as driver/owner.... The rule of thumb is about $.10 per mile for maintenence...or so I hear....( experienced guys...tell us please) Insurance may be a little low as well (would depend on the state of registration) The other...

I saw your note about your M2.....I had a chance to drive this truck along with just about everything else in medium duty out there at GM sales meeting we had about 3 weeks ago.... We got a chance to drive the trucks on a course laid out with a variety of obstacles..... The M2 (IMHO) was the...

Hi, No diesels in vans for 05...but will be ready in 06....at the same time GM will be phasing out the Astro and Safari units that they made for years in Baltimore.... Look for a Duramax unit to be a smaller version of the current 300hp version in their medium duty models.... Ford will be...

I wanted to comment on the Cruise Control aftermarket product you referred to... Be mindful of a cheap unit......(not saying it is).....I have had situations where we had them installed for customers in new vans especially Fords..and they locked on ...Customer had to turn off the engine to...
