    Hey guys I'm back. Thanxz a million for the advice and ya to fill you in on a few keys items, I am looking to pull anything except flatbed or oversize. I'm wanting to stay out for at least 3-5 weeks at a time and will run anywhere but not looking to stay on the east coast (in and out is ok). I tried Texas star express but I do have a dac issue from turning my company truck up at one of my previous companies and even though I'm buying my own personal truck they turned me down so it's quite doubtful I'll be able to get on at a major carrier although I have a perfect mvr,no criminal history,and 4 years out otr w/o any accidents abandonments,or other bs.

    wanna make $50,000??????????? buy a new $140,000 truck without a job then after 3 months unload it

    why would you buy a 2010 truck that will have unknown reliability issues and no job in this economy????

    i guess more money than brains

    Ok so I got my dac issue cleared, back on track I'm thinking really strong about Bisson out of Auburn Maine and Gulf coast transport out of Sunnyvale Tx. Anybody have dealings with them? I'm not liking the Rand Mcnally miles instead of practical miles at Bisson but they are claiming to have a lot of loads going back and forth between Tx and Maine. MrQ I will give DMTC a call Monday thanx again.

    Thanx for the compliment for my ambition buddy, I actually have a little money saved up from running hard (5-6 weeks at a time) so I'm not rich by any means I just happen to have good credit and being I'm actually college educated i think I do have a plan instead of just looking at the thing or sitting at a truck stop. Secondly, the reason I am buying a brand new truck is because after being a company driver and having crappy equipment I will not think about a used truck.

    How'd your plan work out for you? Are you retired yet?

    bad part about buying a new truck is he will be in and out of the shop for the first year working out the bugs...one slightly used with about 200,000 miles would be jus fine.
