Instant O/O and Load boards

Pix of PharmPhail exhaust Pipe

 

Rob,
All the parts came in today for your truck, motor mount was the correct one, lower coolant pipe wasn't,.... figures. I went over to Kerns Truck Parts and dug through three dumpsters full of coolant pipes and found one that will work. So I now have what is needed to get your Pete back on the road. See you tomorrow.

 

Sweet!

Nice screen name too!

 

A mechanic that is willing to be a dumpster diver to get the job done, gotta love that kind of dedication!

 

ok guys. i've read of TON of information on here. LOTS to absorb.

not trying to pry into personal business. but i was wondering if some of you could give me some round about numbers as to how much you all spent before finally hitting the road. not the total cost after everything is done but the basic of what it took to hit the road as an O/O. and how long before money started rolling in.

truck down payment, insurance, permits, etc. and of course fuel. how long it took for everything.

i'm just curious as to what it takes to get to where you all are at. not including the monthly nut for home. just what it took to hit the road. i'm trying to figure out the numbers so i can work out a plan.

any information would be greatly appreciated. THANKS.

 

well got a better deal of a load instead of a 400 .00 load of lumber picked up in gainville today,790 for the load ,290 for 4 stops,75 for tarping and 170 fsc will be don withthe run friday morn and hopefully pic up another good one,,,,,,, rob looks like your trucks almost ready,while its there id have him look at that wiper problem you have,might save on the tires and light s that are missing on the trailer ?????and for god sakes take it easy on the old girl,shell get you where your going lol,,,oh and the whole run is 480 miles

 

Snowwy, go back to page 87 what your looking for is posted there. It should get you in the ball park.

 

I'm about ready to hit the road myself. Lots-o-paperwork and checks to write for this permit and that permit. Picked up my 2000 Freightliner Century just over a week ago. 10 miles down the Interstate and I get called in behind the scale for a DOT look-see. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I know what needs attention (the little stuff that got overlooked when buying). No tickets issued. It's in for an oil change and annual inspection now. Hope to hit the road sometime next week (fingers & toes crossed).

Sorry, no intention to hijack this thread....I've been in major lurk mode....

Carry on and good luck Pharm...and everyone else giving it a go!!

 

Congrats, Gears!

What will you be pulling?

 

Whats your plan Gears? Leasing on to someone?
