Don't forget the Messiah of trucking (Big Dipstick) says dry vans are a "Dime a Dozen" and you can't make any money pulling one. Better get that idea Blessed before spending any hard earned money.

Dry vans are a dime a dozen. The freight I haul in it, however, is not available to the other eleven.

Xmas tree rates are a bit down from last year due to the amount of trucks available..... We exclusively haul direct for Yuletree Farms and that is a better than using the borkers..... I am guessing that others will buy reefers, but it is a different world and you need to be able to deal with the grocery dc's. My company is in bed with the biggest nurseries in Oregon and we get first dibs on the nursery stock that is still running, albeit a little slower than last year. But it will turn, it always does.

From what I've read in the past, BanditsCousin pulls a van and makes a ton of money. Maybe not anymore, I heard he was getting married to some 40 something year old woman? Not sure, just a rumor.

Not making anything now while my truck gets $8300 worth of repairs from the big buck that decided to commit suicide on I35.
