I'm sending you a PM
As a late update, I finally found work for a small outfit out of Oxford that does mainly grain hauling. Extremely long hours, and a lot harder...
Attica, Indiana area...the -70 was the windchill, NOT actual temp, though I know actual temp was well below zero. We had some killer winds that...
lol, I know. Sadly there are a lot of companies like that out there and they get really offended when you laugh at them. The $1.50 operating cost...
Your argument might be valid if I was paid by the mile. I get a percentage of the gross, which is usually around $4000+. So, yes it does matter...
I know you wanted Gears to answer this and I hope he will from his own perspective but from mine I would choose van simply because you can choose...
I don't do 3000 miles a week, but with grain I average $1300 a week take home vs. $870 this week running van. I could make the same on van if boss...

I appreciate that you recognize that truck drivers aren't always to blame, but HOS is like most things the government does: ineffective and...
CSA 2015 might not be too far off from the mark since they're not going to have the money to pay for all the extra manpower they're wanting....
Yeah, the more I look at it the more I wonder what the benefit of leasing to them is. I'm looking at a few others. I got a copy of the Dyno & ECM...
