I hear it both ways.....some say they make a killing, but I see a lot that go back to whatever they were doing before. Figure $1000 to get your...
When I was younger I worked with a guy for a couple summers putting up hay, one of the hardest workers I know. I used to get all worked up when it...
I agree that attitude makes a huge difference in whatever you are doing. I hire a lot of younger (high school and college age) kids to run...
3-6 weeks has been my experience. Congratulations!
I should think that it would be easy to find a wealth of material for a thesis on inefficiency in the transportation sector. I agree with most who...
I just wish I had seen some of this info before I did it. I did some research around on this forum and others, but saw mostly positive stuff about...
Just blocked the cooler off and changed the intake manifold, with a block. Nothing with the oil cooler.
This is definitely an expensive learning experience. I knew something was wrong as soon as I had the tune done because of how much boost I was...

I agree,lots of poorly taken care of trucks in TX, but they aren't typically the ones I see the DOT picking on. They seem to keep right on...
I had an experience with TQL, called on a load I wanted, it was gone, they wanted me to take a different load I didn't want so I threw out a rate...
Along the same lines, I wish that it was a requirement that anyone posting a load under $2/mile, whoevers mileage its figured off of, should HAVE...
I just bought a truck with 690,000 for similar money and am sorry for it. It's my third one and my experience is whenever you buy a used truck,...
Guess you misunderstood. I agree with what you're saying. I just know that there are folks out there who buy a truck and haul at $1.50 and think...
It's too easy to get into most trucking activity. Easy entry=many competitors, most of who aren't clever enough to calculate their costs fairly....
