Been talking to Bulk Transportation about leasing on with them. Gonna cost about $6,000 to get a PTO air compressor installed on my truck. Just wondering if it's worth the investment? Currently running flat bed out of Vancouver, WA grossing about 2-3k a week. Want to get into something more specialized that commands more pay. Right now I am doing the same #### job that guys who can't speak English do. Therefore not alot of pay involved. Basically going broke. Filed bankruptcy last year mostly due to DEF system breaking down. Don't want to quit trucking but gotta make more money!
Feedback appreciated!
Worth the cost of outfitting my truck?

I do not have any experience with air PTO.
We ran off a oil liquid type PTO as long the system has been taken care of there is no reason to worry about reliability. The biggest commandment in dumping anything is that you shalt not lean the truck. -
I went to their orientation in Buckeye Arizona. Seems like anyone that's been there awhile has been chemically burned.

Not real excited about getting burned. But they do make you wear the full suit, boots, gloves, goggles hat and face shield. That's got to be a lot of fun in 110 degree heat! -

The other is the terminal manager like a 20 year guy. Not as severe but your clothing basically becomes one with your flesh.
