Dealer got the check from the finance company (Concordia) today, so the Pete 387 is officially a done deal. Title is not available yet for me to do the tags so that's another day delay. More to come as I get it.
Yup, IT is what we have been using but the numbers have just dropped drastically...quantity and quality (rates) of loads are really depressing. Worst is that my drivers are just going nuts and I want to help my guys out
LOL yeah I NEED to. I already have my first insurance payment due in 6 days! I may leave out Friday or Monday.
Elements of both. Independant but signed on with a dedicated broker that offers fuel cards, inhouse factoring if desired, trailer rental, basically anything you need. I'll be pulling hopper-bottom and it's OTR. Seems to be one of the strangest mixes anyone's ever heard of, but I haven't heard a bad thing about them yet and I spoke to 2 different O/O F/O's.
I let everyone talk me out of end dump (see, I can be reasoned with) and switched to hopper bottom, so I no longer need one. It would have been $2200, but that was to move one over from another truck.
