While I'm making decisions about starting my own gig I have been offered a seat in a big truck for a local gig. One thing, I need to get a TWIC...
I have made the trip a few times down the Mississippi and, yes, it is very expensive with fuel, time, rations, etc. Took me about 2 weeks to reach...
Curious if anyone here has a dedicated boat trailer for hauling larger boats. I've been scouring ebay, truck trader, etc. and see a few dedicated...
Yea, personally, I really dont see the difference. Why is it ok for a 5er to have an unlimited length but a tag combo can only be 60'? I could...
I got stopped several times in Indiana for running a big truck and pintle that measured 66.5' . It was a big International day cab with a 20 ton...
I was told if the truck still has a pick up bed it was restricted to 60' total length and 65' if it hae a hauler bed. Please, someone tell me I'm...
I ran dump in Chicago for a few years. I was paid well but I was working for friends / family. Looking on CL now and A dumps are paying $15/hr...
Nope. Not necessary at all. I'm a cdl-a driver and plan on running over 26k.
I know there is no one solid answer but even an average number will do. The truck I am specing out (2104 F450CC) has a length of 2211" from the...
Rollin' I understand what you're saying and I agree only to a point. I certainly don't expect anyone to tell me they make $250,000 per year or...
I started hauling cars as soon as I got my CDL. I worked for a small company with 2 6-car trailers. My runs were all out of a rail yard in Chicago...
I am using my own calculated dead head miles based on a fixed percentage. However, it would be easy to extrapolate that on your end as well....
No, I'm not talking about operating costs. I already have that figured out. What I'm trying to ask is to take an average month... take the number...
Yes, it also means Cents Per Mile. Such as if you were a company driver looking for a job. That job will pay you $.38CPM.

That flat rate can be transposed to CPM. For instance... if you take a load from A to B with a loaded distance of 500 miles and your flat rate pay...
I have been looking at load boards and the numbers are a bit confusing to me. I really can't financially survive below $X.XX cpm. I've now been...
Really? 40'? I appreciate the air ride responses. I guess if you go 36' you may as well go 40'. More concerned about the added weight of 4 extra...
Spec'd out a PJ low profile GN, 36', 12k spread air ride axles, monster ramps. Regional dealer quoted $15998 without shipping. Too high? Is air...
If you have the space wouldn't it be cheaper and less of a headache to install a drop axle? No need to re-certify, no worrying about matching up...
