Hi all. Thanks for all of your valuable input. Too many threads to reply to do Ill try to remember them all even tho my brain is on the overload side. As to why I came to a terminal after being out four months, I've been in a brand new truck the whole time. 2013 Black Pete 386. They have been asking and asking to get it back, lol. Well, they said get it up here and we'll get you in a company truck. Forgot to ask when! Lol. Yes, I need to run harder as an owner op, but half of my time out was on a regional fleet. I loved that. The money was right and the runs we're mostly short. I was just going to go over some numbers and jump in a co. Truck and go home. Well, the numbers seemed a little better than what I was predicting and I gave it a night. Woke up, got my truck inspected and shined and hit up o/o. Yes, I did some soul searching on the APU and if I can keep doing what I have been with the bunk heater plus pick up some warmer blankets maybe it will not be too bad. I've had a tent in snow before so it can't be that bad! Right now there is snow all over the lots in West Valley an I'm hoping to hit the road tomorrow. Still going home this week so it will probably be my first (hopefully last) negative paycheck. Then I am running all the way to New Years to see how hard I can push. I welcome any and all advice. Right now I am focusing on maximizing fuel economy and time management. Oh, and praying, lol. Thanks for all the support and I will keep you updated on my progress. May slack off in the posting because I have a serious education to obtain on making this business work!!

Oh, btw. I ran that new truck enough to get it on the used side. So, that along with knowing who has been driving it were some pretty sweet perks. No accelerated payments but now she's my responsibility. Think I'll name her Lynn.
Lady K Thanks this. -
Don't name 'er. When you name something it dies. You should have at least a week without fixed costs (at least I got that) to save you from a negative taking hometime.
mama mia Thanks this. -
Arkansas Frost, Lady K, passion4polishing and 1 other person Thank this.

That's great advice right there.
Whats so great about dole? I've been told its the hardest fleet to get on, so I assume there's a good reason. If I hadn't seen a couple central trucks marked dole i'd've never known we had a dole fleet. -
One word on Dole explains it all, Ken, the DM. He is great. He treats you like a person, not a number. We hated leaving him.
Lady K Thanks this. -
A good dm makes a world of difference. The best one I had so far a Rodger on Kraft west. Unfortunately I was just there for training.

you pay for the apu. and when you leave the truck. the apu stays.
i don't think i've seen anyone actually get there apu's off. or even transfered to another truck. yall might correct me if i'm wrong though.
it's also an added maintanance expense. that seems to break down a LOT
