How freightliners are made

Not sure where you got your info from. I really dislike having to set the record straight,.. but I dont want people believing you know me or my history.

I've had this truck since Sept, 2013. This is also NOT,.. my first truck,.. nor is it my first go as an O/O. I started with my pick up hauling cars and freight locally through Craigslist and various other internet and local ads. I then leased a truck through Penske and bought a kaufman 4 car to try subbing for Hansen & Adkins. Things went well so I then bought a 96 Volvo day cab single axle tractor. That was back in 2009. So tell me,.. what more will I learn in 2 yrs time?? I hustle and have never been afraid of hard work. Also,.. I started driving commercially back in the mid 80's. Before there even was a CDL. I was grandfathered into the CDL.

I also hold a BS degree in IT Computer sciences with a focus on network security. Unified Threat Management (UTM) I have all of the MCSE (Microsoft), CCNP (Cisco) certs, Citrix, Oracle, Novell, Java, C++ and A+ certified. I can set up an ancient Fujitsu SPARC64 II machine with my eyes closed.

Old employer? No,.. same employer,.. same carrier owner I am leased to right now. I can sell my set up right now and go back to pulling his Step or do heavy haul. I averaged $1500 - $2100 week take home as a company driver doing flatbed. I was paid a flat $3000 weekly salary running his RGN doing heavy haul. I have a very good working relationship here. I'm not going to give away my weekly settlement numbers. I'd rather leave you and the other nay sayer guessing and believing I am starving and poor.

You base your opinions on assumptions that you really do not understand about me. You would be best to mind your own business and focus your concerns on yourself and not worry about what I do. I am a survivor. I always land on my feet. I will continue to make money and advances in this business. When I reach a wall that I can not pass or choose not to pass,.. then I will slow down and continue at a rate that I can control and stay on top of.

Just because my model does not match yours,.. do not assume I am ignorant or need your unwanted opinions and guidance. When I need help, I will ask for it.

Western Stars are on their own frames but they have the airliner suspension. Really the only difference in the 4900 and the 5700 is the hood, bumper and exhaust placement. Oh and the skirts.... LOL Same cab and same sleepers.

White also used to be connected to Western Star. Anyone remember the White Western Star? And no not the color... LOL

 

I remember the one I drove.

 

Yes and the White/Freightliner cabover I used to have to run. No air bags but did have a air ride seat.

 

I'm a big Audio Video nut. Although,.. not everything I have is American. But all of it is studio or concert quality. I'm a big fan of Cerwin Vega Cabinet speakers,.. the big ones with dual 15" subs, 10" mids and 4" fero tweeters. They will shake the whole house. The rest is a combination of Harmon Kardon and Onkyo components.

All my cables I get from a place in New Port Richey called cables plus,.. they make them there in the store. Best prices too. 100ft of fiber optic audio cable,.. $15. 50ft of DVI and HDMI 3.0 cable,..$15. 100ft of shielded CAT5,.. $15. (I dont do Wifi on my home network,.. too paranoid knowing how easily it can be breached.)

But yeah,.. My last 60" plasma is an LG,.. LG was formerly GE. I caved last Christmas and we bought a Samsung 80" 4k TV. Sad,.. but no American 4k TV's.

Blind following the blind. Your Ignorance is my bliss.

What I find funny is that your pal there does not even own a class 8 truck. He does (Or did) hot shot work.

Then you have the nerve to chastise me about childishness and you make this high school/facebook post here poking cheap immature shots at me? Really?

How old are you?

Some guys don't mind running 3K miles to make 2K profit. I don't understand it, and I'd never do it, but some don't mind. Work smarter, not harder.
