RE: how to make inputs OVM, if you had 100 trucks and 300 hundred drivers cycle thru in a one year period what would our turnover be? I would think that the turnover would be a closely guarded number for any carrier. I doubt that PII's turnover is anywhere near 300, but I would not be...

The most you could run without running out of hours (not counting a 34 hour reset) is 36% of the time.

Normally, there is not enough income to support three households, that is why most of the better fleet owners only hire same household teams.

A 44 year old man with a family of three, tied of making his current small company owner financially well off while I work driving local putting in 60+ hrs a week for only $50,000 per year. Same man trying to convince his wife that...

I am to lazy to figure the loaded miles and DH miles. Care to give those numbers? And do you consider that a very good month mile wise?

First you people say based on studies you will use 1/10 of a gallon for every mile per hour increase. I don't doubt that it is more fuel used, I just question the amount. Keep in mind that those numbers are given for class eight trucks with a trailer with an engine that is thirty percent larger...

Leo Said: As an example, let's make up a 420 mile run that one guy runs at 70mph / 8mpg and another guy runs at 60mph / 10mpg. Driver 1 finishes in 6 hours burning 52.5 gallons at $3.199 for $167.95 fuel cost and driver 2 finishes in 7 hours burning 40 gallons at $3.199 for $127.96 saving...

I got 9.6 miles per gallon for the life of the truck that I just sold. I only shut the truck off for fuel, and to check the oil.(some times would shut down for the night if it was a cool night and I was not in a truck stop. but less than twenty times in four years.) We run the speed limit or...

Dang it and now we sold our 2003 chevy 3500 expess van with 61,000 miles on it. Karin is sad because that is the first vehicle that she ever bought completely on her own. Oh and by the way we will now get to borrow our kids cars because we have sold our only transportation.

FAMILYEXPDT said: If a truck is returned to us not up to standards, the drivers are charged 300$.....this includes a truck wash also (we pay for all washes and the number of people that reurn a truck not washed is surprising) Hopefully because of a dirty truck exterior you did not charge them...

Thanks Col. there was/is some logic behind my madness. The theory was to sell the truck while there was plenty of equity left in the asset. And then apply that towards my largest asset, my house.

I can't drive fifty five.

Nah, still in the game.

Nope, driving for an owner. The honorable DaveKC.

I know you meant to, but I did not see fuel listed

Nope. Not only am I clueless, I am now truckless.

Heck, I don't care which song we sing, or for that matter if we sing the same one. Just sing it brother

Oh I feel it. Come on you slackers out there sing it with us ...Happy days are here....

Come on sing it with me. A one A two A three, Happy days are here again. Come on keep in tune Once again HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN. Da da da da da...da da da happy days are here again. There are two great days, maybe three in truck ownership. The day you buy it , the day you pay it off, and...

The problem with the ducks would be that they would only want to go south this time of year, Quack Quack.
