    Things are real slow in Raleigh,NC area.
    Freight is so low,it is not worth the drive the old Pete.
    I am thinking to deliver new Freightliners out of Clevland ,NC. ( at least freight gets up)
    Any of you done this? Can you pay the bills with this job? Thanks for the help

    Is this working for a dealer? I've delivered trucks for a local dealer and if you get in with the right one..I guess you can make money..I hope you like to fly..because once you deliver..your on a plane..one place I picked up mechanic trucks.it was an all day trip fling to where I had to go..it was reno to phoenix to Minneapolis then get on a little puddle jumper to mason city ia...for me it was just a part time job..best of luck

    It is for the company that does ship New Freightliners out of the factory.
     
  5. Look up kenworth in chillicothe,OH. They have a transporter next door. All the big companies do. Most freightliners come out of Mexico.
