Nah. Not a big fan of gambling even if it is called "trading stocks"
Was thinking about ordering another pair of their boots though. (they own Justin)csmith1281 and dannythetrucker Thank this. -
Wish I had a few of their stocks laying around! Penny stocks they're not!!

Nothing like a 40mph tailwind to take the sting out of a $1.39/all-mile load.
Now before you get out your pitchforks, you should know my fuel cost over the last 2200 miles is 26cpm so the profit, slim as it is, is the same as a $1.73/all-mile load with a "normal" fuel cost of 60cpm. Not that $1.73 is anything to be proud about, but it is respectable in a market with more posted dry vans than loads.
Either way, CA broker freight sucks.csmith1281, Grijon, glitterglue and 2 others Thank this. -
We all gotta take it up the ### once in a while. Sometimes it comes with a bonus.

Yeah, working the spot market isn't nearly as profitable when you're concurrently playing travel agent...

ok question! Got my truck saturday.. Let me tell you what she handled great on the way back. They did repaint the frame to cover up the breaking paint area's to me no big deal. Truck is in good shape starts and stops good no rough idleing APU works holds air and what not. Was a burnt out turn signal indicator They said i could get it fixed there on monday or take it to a dealer at there cost. Pfft took dash off and replaced it myself for $5.00 no big deal. NOW i greased the truck up as 5th wheel was painted. Now im ready to get to work. The company im leasing too im waiting on a trailer from them. BUT im looking over the paper work and i read this. Customer hereby acknowledges recipt of all necessary title documents and agrees to submit the state DMV within the next ten days documents required to perfect a first priority fully perfected lien in favor of TRANSPORT funding LLC. Does this mean i got to take it to the DMV? I got a temp tag for 30days for all states. And the company im going to is paying for my Plate's.

Now, in the state I live (IL) you also fill out a RUT-7 form which exempts interstate rolling stock from sales tax. You will have to check with your state and see if they try to collect tax on the purchase when you do the title, and if you are exempt from it.csmith1281, TruckerPete1990 and double yellow Thank this. -
