    I've seen 12' 15' 18'. You get 12' and they are short? I have 15' and they are too long. If you can't swap them I'll trade you once I leave the house.

    That's you.. I don't care how you would do things.. I'm not doing bad at all anymore I just want to switch to flatbed for the workout and the extra money along with the less miles. I know guys who have been here a long time as well.. You're not gonna get more than 1.40 going back east.. And that's going from so cal to the east coast straight. That's why we demand nothing less than 1.65 to go that way.. The object is to average 1.50 coast to coast.. You won't get better than that pulling Van here.. If they say they are tell them to show you.. And if you think you can do well in the van side with your new truck go ahead.. No need to say every other day.. Because I can look at you and say you're crazy for getting a new truck when your truck is paid for.. The object is less overhead more profit. But that's my personal opinion but I don't tell you to look in the mirror. I guess every driver that wants to switch here isnt handling their business the "proper" way huh.. Smh

    They have shown me. And I didn't say you couldn't make money on the van side you did a few weeks ago. And that's to bad. I believe there is a load on the board right now paying higher then your saying going coast to coast. And this is Saturday. Not a board search day. There are van guys ordering new trucks too. So I don't see how that plays in all this. My new truck is going to be $125 a month out of pocket. I can afford that no matter what.

    I've said before that I wish you luck and hope things turn out the way you want.

    Ummm no... You have said that you know that guys that make what you make on the van side.. Van is the lowest paying freight in the business. Everyone knows that.. So if you think that you can make the same as what you're making now or in the same ballpark that's not saying much about the fb freight here. But I know that's not the case.I been around this business a long time.. They only time fb is comparable to Van is the winter. Other than that it's no comparison.. But hey if you think you can do well come over. There are plenty of trailers in the yard to choose from

    Two types of people in this world. Those with the will to do what is needed to make it work, and those with the will to ##### about things.
     
    Allan M, CJndaTruck and Bucktrucker Thank this.
