You have to use the advanced editor (see where it says "Go Advanced"?)... there's a software bug in the Quick Reply editor that won't actually upload the picture to the database.
Rancid... I see you're a "wannabe" - meaning you have no experience. Run on the company side a year or two and figure it out before you sign a truck lease.KW Cajun Thanks this. -
well i have a lil exp, drove a m931 ( 6x6 tractor ) in the army, and drove delivery with a local company in a glorified moving truck, but moving up in the world
-
Any business experience? OTR is just a little different from the Army. Drive the company side a year or two and get this figured out before you hang your financial future on a truck lease.

lil bit with small business side. but thats why im going company first, then lease. maybe sometime after depending on economy o/o. see what happens, and play it by ear
-
Good plan... save up some cash. That's what kills most first time lease-ops... no cash to fall back on when things get rough.

Well, i asked prime about the Headlights, and they are fine with the installation and use of them. at this time is just cost prohibitive to implement fleet wide, however if a individual driver wants to purchase and install them, thats fine.
Ok. We asked Drew Martin (Success Leasing) and Nick Forte (Maintenance), and they both had pretty much the same answer. Drew's response: "We have been looking into LED headlights currently and testing in a few of our company trucks. The rest of the lights on new trucks are LED lights. The cost right now is too high to do the whole fleet in LED headlights. Our cost is about $750 per truck from the factory for the truck-lites. We are fine with operators putting them on their trucks at their cost, but we just havent got the cost to put them on fleet wide." Nick's response: "We have reviewed them, and while the drivers that are testing them do feel they light up more, the cost is still prohibitive fleet wide to justify. It is hard to come up with an ROI that would cover 750.00 per truck. I am ok with an operator paying to replace..afterwards"skellr Thanks this. -
I don't know where you got that photo at because it really has page 4 screwed up. If you are getting it from google images many of those photos have a link 10,000 characters long. You have to go to the website to get the picture. Save it to your computer then "go advanced" when posting a picture and use the picture icon to upload the picture here. If you copy/paste a photo it screws things up because it's hosted on a different server.
