    Are you wanting to use your current authority and just move everything over to 18-wheelers or are you wanting to start a completely separate company?

    Yea thanks I just done that and all my hotshot trucks are brand new. Didnt mine spending the money on those because they have dedicated jobs before I purchased them. No dispatching or finding loads for them. They are signed with a 3 year contact with the oil field industry.

    The question needs to be more defined. You yourself has to do the leg work and ask the right questions. So many variables and you haven't given much of anything other the 18wheeler.

    I seem to get better service out of the red trucks, but I like the blue trucks better. What ever you do stay away from silver or gray trucks.

    Thanks that was great advice. I guess I'll just go with a red glider of some type.
