Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

DFO hit the nail on the head. The operator has a lot to do with how well the truck performs. I use my truck gently in all aspects. Some people are hard on things and that's why I don't want a used truck.
I would like to add that manufacturers are developing emissions technology and just about any truck built in the '09 to '12 year range tend to have major emissions systems issues.
Up until now ('16) thing have gotten much better. Although I believe the engineers are over complicating the trucks. The fault monitoring systems seem to be less reliable than the systems the monitor.
Had check engine lights for a few days. As long as there is oil pressure and the engine temp is right and firing smooth, I keep going. The warning lights went out 2 weeks ago and still running.

 

I am thinking about taking loads from Richmond, VA area to the Greensboro, NC area and back to Richmond area. I'm thinking that'll get me around $800-$1000/day gross. Can anyone advise on this?

 

Here's the thing...I went to college in Greensboro & know it's only 210 miles from Richmond and the traffic is virtually nonexistent in both directions. I feel Richmond to Greensboro will pay $400-$500 & the same in reverse. I want to know if my thoughts are anywhere close is all.

 

What's the difference between the ParkSmart and IdleFree? I thought they were the same(battery based APU)?

 

I live in the Gboro area... let me know how this works out. I dont see that happening.

 

Ok then. If my figures are off, then please straighten them out.

 

I mean since I do not have access to the Choice board, can someone punch these two areas with a 100 mile radius around both locales and provide their findings?
