Ahhh well the idea that increase regulation leads to less competition and therefore leads to better rates is true. Once the rates raise, you'll get more suburban guys starting small trucking companies to extract all that excess profit, and your right back to low rates again.

...Only now you better have your papers handy and be ready for a slew of fines every time you hit the interstate. The guy that speaka no engles might have a better shot at pulling profits as he would undoubtedly be allowed 50 miles across the border to pick up/drop off, all while being exempt from many of the same rules that you need to follow. Of course, this is all assuming he even listens to that 50 mile from the border restiction. We all know he won't.

In the end, a one truck operation is the most inefficient way to deal with DOT. You can be sure that a weigh scale on every corner does not mean a chicken in every O/O's pot.

 

Thanks for the help. Pritchett and FTL I can't find out much on the net. Walpole and Schwend I'm not in their hiring area.

I would think it would be easier to find someone to driver for with hoppers since the big ADM plant is just down the road in Sweetwater. Friend of mine worked for a small fleet (maybe 12 trucks) in Iowa (where he lived). They picked up by products in Sweetwater. They don't have any trucks empty right now though.

Anyone else think of somebody?? Thanks!

 

You didn't look too hard... google pritchett trucking

 

Yeah it's working, they bypassed the pressure switch so I'm probably going to have to address that at some point. But it's been just fine... shut it off for 10 minutes or so every few hours.

I was saying in my thread that Rush Peterbilt tried to nail me for a new evaporator and condensor saying the system was clogged, but it can't be if it's working. If I had had the money I'd have paid $1500 that day from not knowing any better. Instead it was $118. I would not truck very long with no a/c. I'm still kind of a wuss that way.

 

I'm running a truck for a local company here in nashville tn. And none of there trucks have working a/c, It gets pretty hot. Driving it okay but when you have to stop GEEZ.............................
