60 cpm out of Miami? Is it pretty consistent or do you have to know somebody? Would they go up to 70 cpm if you had a permit for 86k?

 

Volvos and Prostars reap higher cpm than W900s do down in Miami, shogun.

I thought you knew that?

 

@johndeere4020 you still got that picture of dummie with his ramps

 

I’m on a lease purchase right now, first month’s payments are suspended. If I can run 4000 miles a week right now, whether it’s lumber or shingles out of Miami, I can deadhead back. I will build up my money then worry about getting a Prostar with the Maxxforce.

 

That’s some smart ciphering there

 

Wow, what a dumb arse. I assume that's a random internet pic, but whoever did that needs fired immediately.

 

People think ramps are the end all be all

 

Put an oversized banner back there and no one is the wiser. Nothing would keep me from consistent 60 cpm freight.

When I was a kid, my dad hauled part of a crane to a paper mill. On the way back we picked up a dozer like this, and had no ramp. So, we built up a dirt ramp to it, and loaded it fine. It bent the top part of the steel top rail, nothing a torch and hammer couldn’t fix.
