    1600mi. × 1.13=1808-950 for the most expensive truck, apu, insurance and other accounts. Etc.= 858-768 for fuel based on 1600 miles ran =90.... Again that's his numbers. Ou guy are the pros... So you should know... And that's based on the truck getting 7mpg I believe.... So he said the next 1400 miles you run is pretty much yours after fuel.

    Travis there are many hidden charges that they aren't telling you guys about. Here is one example .05 for excessive miles charged every mile. What about I.F.T.A. taxes? If it is so easy why do so many fail? Stay strong. Great deals don't need to be sold cause people usually beg for them not sold on them

    Bingo! Once again the Cranky One is correct. They were in public, promoting a local event. There is some legal recourse but for the most part it would be difficult to prove....we would have to be able to prove that a profit was being made through the use of their photo. It could be done but not worth the time, effort or money. It's just disturbing .....since they didn't seek my permission....especially on a government site. You would think they would go out of their way to protect the rights of underage young people .....rather than exploiting them. :biggrin_25513:

    More boring orientation today. Not much going on since I'm the only one here. Got a peek at the truck that will most likely be mine. It's an almost brand new ProStar. Not sure how many miles on it but it's a newer 2015 truck that has maybe been in service 2 months. Single bunk auto trans. Got familiar with the Carrier reefers and the containers we sometimes haul bananas in.

    I have a "What would you do?" question for you. The King's company has a contract with a client to deliver to a warehouse in Amarillo on a pretty regular basis. The warehouse is not 24/7 but surprisingly there is no guard shack or security there. If you have the first appointment in the morning, you usually go in the night before and park at your regular dock door. The King gets there last night, no cars in the parking lot.....and the building is absolutely pitch black, kinda unusual. He goes to back into his dock door and it's standing wide open.

    He was flagging down a cop while I was talking with him last night and I don't know how it all turned out yet. He said there was an aluminum bar laying in the parking lot,but he didn't see how it could have been used to get the dock door open.

    I see trap now, they are explaing the math on 3000 dispached miles and not brining up the real possibility of not getting 3000 due to unforseen issues of weather, breakdown, being held up at shipper or receiver, and hometime.
