Life at American Central Transport (ACT)

lmfao.....well put sir. the grass isnt always greener plus i dont want the competetion for freight stay away lol jk

 

Anyone have any advice on drive tires? When fall rolls around, I want to get a better set than what I have on here now. Did yall buy recaps or virgins and about how much did they cost? I have recaps on here now and they had a little wear on them when I got the truck. No problems right now, but want to get better tires before winter rolls around.

 

Me personally,I want super single Michelin XDA energy tires.I've got duals now and if I can't afford to buy the wheels on my own when I need new tires,I will buy the same XDA energy's for the drive's.Best rolling resistance tire and also high quality.You're looking at 3-3500$ for a new set.

 

Buy quality low-rolling resistance tires - the money you'll save on fuel will more than buy the tires. You can play with the numbers using this...

Looks like a lot of people going to be at the yard this weekend.

 

Was woundering if one of you could tell me how many drivers at ACT that start a LP finish and walk away with a truck (exsample 3 out of 10)? Also I seen that ACT pays $1.00 a mile what is the avrage fuel surcharge (What is the avrage $$ amount to haul)? Appriciate some feed back.. Thanks

 

Anyone else getting low miles the last two weeks, I been at 1500 each week. Im alway on time and never turn down a load.

 

Lol...you going to post in everyone's thread? Don't forget mine and pete's and few others... We all read each others threads, really there's no need to post in all of them.
