Anyone have any opinions on what I should do over the next 3-4 months? My truck will be down while it gets rebuilt. I've been off a week and I'm going crazy. I spent a ton of $$$ a few months ago and didn't foresee this extended vacation coming. I've looked at rental trucks but Ryder and Penske want a 1000/week plus 20cents a mile which is outrageous. I got my truck payment pushed back for 3 months so that's real good. I'm fine on money now but it's going to get real tight in a few months. So I must get a job... Just not sure who would hire me temporarily.
Not to thrilled about going back to being in a company driver position... I've had my own trucks for the past 7 years

Try PacLease. They are usually less expensive and easier to deal with. I've leased trucks from them several times in the past. They are at a KW or Pete dealership.

How about working for one of the fleet owners at Mercer? I'm thinking they pay 30-35 percent.
Wow Why is it going to take 3-4 months? -
BAYOU Thanks this.

Honest opinions - Flatbed or Step Deck with Mercer? I am in Van now and I am planning to go over to Flatbed mid October. I want to go to Canada, I have a HAZMAT and TWIC card for ports. I know this is when FB slows down, but I have done FB during the winter before and it is not a big deal to me (As long as it is not Ice Road Trucking LMAO!!). Any Feedback?

Law suits are rarely worth it to anyone but the lawyer. -
So what are you going to do with the dry van? <BR>Why would you want to change to flat going into the winter?<BR><BR>I'd recommend going flat vs step. I bet you'd be surprised how much the step will hurt you in the winter. Right now the freight for a step is half as much as flat.

and you have evidently not ever participated in a worthwhile lawsuit. you hire a lawyer on a contingency, he gets a percentage of what he wins. you don't have to be there for court dates. I know this. had a drunk hit one of my trucks in key west. I had progressive ins. the drunk sued us with one of the tv lawyers that advertise. I countersued . 4 and 1/2 years later I got a check in 5 figures . never had to be at any court date.
most of them work on 33 per cent, 66 per cent of something is way better than 100 per cent of nothing.Travelinman Thanks this.
