Time for Prime.....

Well, jayrow....it is a Freightliner, has the Thermo-King TRI-PAC APU that comes with the 1800w inverter as part of the package, we run a 515hp Detroit set at 76mph with a 10sp Eaton Fuller tranny. Averaging about 6.2mpg with most of our time above 68mph.

 

Dre....How much total time do you have OTR? If you have enough they will lease to you right out of the gate and you and your wife can start from day 1 as a team....If not, you would each have to ride with what is called a TNT trainer....they take CDL holding drivers that have less experience out for 4-5 weeks and then bring them back to upgrade to A-seats....at that point they will be able to lease a new truck.

 

Alamosa....Welcome aboard! I'm sure we'll run into you at one of the yards. Just look for a short, pudgy, balding guy with a good lookin' blonde by his side.....I'll be smilin'....she'll be lookin' at me like I'm crazy!

 

Also, any of you guys that come on board get in touch with me and I'll hook you up on some really helpful computer-based forms that will save you lots of time and make life a lot more enjoyable!

 

Jayrow.....I've carried FedEx loads that weren't even 10k.....and we're over here in Southport, NC getting ready to load 45k.....Most will average below 40k tho.....for us.....there are some that pull more....more often. It just varies where you're running. But, the trucks work good no matter what you're pulling....or where.

CarolinaThunder.... When I came back I hadn't ran farther than 250 miles from the house for 13 years. With your experience they probably won't even make you do a road test. Unless you haven't been pulling a trailer...you know....straight-trucking it. It's been working great for my wife and I...and we know several other H/W teams that are loving life. And, I know several singles that are doing quite well.....you just have to be willing to work.....and we both know that there are lots out here that just want to run 2500 miles a week and sleep 12 hours every night and spend 5 hours a day in the truck stops...... And we all know that won't work if YOU'RE paying the bills.... Just be sure and tell them I sent you...... You guys have a good one....

Vulcan...... If you still have my cell# give me a call......

 

Yeah....I saw that on your thread.....started to tell you that Prime pays 72%(I think).....and 100% of FSC.....with GUARANTEED minimum FSC.... Slick50 is Flatbed O/O now...leased his new Coronado back on when he bought it. That's what I plan to do when we buy the KW in a couple of years!
