Anyone on here doing it? I have just started my business and would like to see if anyone else is doing so. Actually starting the business is what got me turned on to this site. I needed to know what truck was the ultimate hauler and the members here got that question answered quickly. Thanks everyone!



Curious as to what equipment set-ups you might have also. Currently we have the truck in my sig, 40' Gooseneck Flatbed with 4' Pop-up dovetail and ramps. Looking hard for a manufacturer of a good aluminum version for the next one we get on the road in 30-45 days.

Do a search, as this topic comes up quite often, several members do this and post about their experiences, OTRPU and KBaluwzit (sp? sorry :{ ) among others come to mind.

Lots of related subjects, trailers, CDL's, companies that pay the best, worst, etc. lots of reading.

Sorry... Forget about the search all the time. Moderators, if you drop by go ahead and delete this thread. I will do the search first.



Thanks,

David

Best of luck to you! Oo. Hopefully it'll workout great for you, and you can update us on what works and doesn't, since you'll be putting so many miles on.

Thanks AfterBurner. We have made some really good contacts for obtaining loads and are running under our own authority, so all profit will be brought back to the company. I am hoping it takes off soon. Playing deskjockey is getting older by the day. As for the truck, the first 7500 miles have been wonderful. Love the power and smoothness of the rig. Just need to find me a more affordable connection for the AFE Stage 2 intake and remember where I saw the muffler upgrade.

Nice Truck! I don't know what it is about stacks on these trucks, but it is SWEET! Love the front bumper/cattle catcher too. Who makes that one?

 

[AfterBurner]

It's made by UTE
