You are from Franklin, they are from Franklin, what in the world are you asking the question here for?? Anyway, they would be plenty good to work with, if, you wanna work. Can't imagine it'd be an issue anyway if'n yer just going to {work} for them. Or, did you mis-state your intentions??

156K miles a year, driving in (what appears) New England?? Me tink yer dreaming. Or, someone has sold you a bill of goods about revenue. Regardless, the least cost engine to rebuild would be the IH 466. A 250 HP engine should be plenty for that kind of weight. You may want to consider...

An then if you are like many and only be in service the 80% of the time, yer looking at closer to $2700. And, waiting parts a week, $1800 As you can see, the numbers get pretty small pretty quick.

Hey you two, better be keerfull, they might git to tink'in yer pick'in on em. And momma mod'll be after you.

Depends on what you really want to know. Will they hunt, pick and cook your goose?? NO!! Will they allow you to make a good living if you want to work??? YES!!

Prolly depends on how much you want. I'm sure all companys have fingerprinted freight if you ask for it. We charged, and paid our contractors a nickel a pound for inside delivery when it was floor loaded. A 6000 pound load paid $300. Kind of a nice no-expense bonus at the end of a run. To...

Port Aransas, TX. Parked by the inlet jetty. Ya should'v seen the Blue Moon dancing off the surf and sand last nite. What a sight. Happy New Year, y'all!!

Beings this is my SECOND post maybe it'll stay up. There has always been, and always will be people who cannot be responsible for their own well being and welfare. The results of those actions 800 years ago were prolly not totally satisfactory to the actor without the welfare we have...

Prolly not about profit. I'd suggest if a past Carrier takes that long to respond, I imagine they are jes trying to postpone the new Carriers heartburn. Rather than being able to splain what kinda douche bag the driver actually is, guess it'd be more "profitable" to wait a while, than defending...

Should have to work for it??? You mean that if a truck does 80/80/100 for a lousey quarter of the whole year they should be rewarded??? It may be that you've been on the contractor dole too long if you can't come up with something better than that.

Starting to smell like someone feels that companies actually "adopt" folks, steada contracting them. Could it be what they call an entitlement mentality??

The way I see it there twisted, IS, if'n they have been driving for a living and cannot afford to fuel up to go home for the Holidays, then, they should be more concerned about all the X Arrow drivers available these days for their jobs, steada whining about "nobody "gave" me nuthin". Jes a...

I agree totally star, them deers are impossible to miss if'n they really want to run in to you. But, who paid the deductable for the damage in your instances??? It's not "fair", to have to pay em, BUT, someone has to. An I weren't there. I think if you re read, I mentioned I helped out with...

TS, we'll prolly hear from more that will champion the cause of "drivers", but the fact is, they are sharing the "profits" when on a [percentage of the profits] ie. 60/40 as a CONTRACTOR. My contracts ALWAYS read the driver was responsible for the deduction for a PREVENTABLE accident. That...

One of the keys to success in this biz is to be able to run profitably at prevailing rates in the industry. I don't think I could sharpen my pencil enough to be profitable running for some of the rates we see with a truck that required a 100-150K investment, or a van with a 40K investment. I...

HOOOOAHHHHH. i'M GONE. YOU handle the cumrudgen now.

I agree Moot. If'n ya call the clowns, you jes can't wrench very well with a wrench in one hand and a cell phone in nuther, when they call ever minute. And, i'm CONVINCED the clowns have purchased shares in those towing companys. But, those of you that are lightweight, like the company fella...

Hey usaf, you need to get out more,(lol) ang get away from that fedup mentality. I'm sure there are many outfits out there that would welcome a clean, fit machine such as that. I'm wondering tho, how ya gonna drive two??

And besides all the above, YOU are opening yourself up to be accused of cumrudgen schitk. It's not easy being cheesey. Ya Know.

How many miles depends on how many YOU want out of it, and how DEEP your pockets are. Ten thou is standard. You should lookout for strange noises comming from the engine. (if your radio is off)
