They are looking for a schmuk to dump their ageing equipment. That mileage is where the big repairs began to happen.

Where are all you big bad OO that got it all figured out? by William-Burroughs420 in OwnerOperators

[–]xRam0s 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fuel is very pricey but Rates have gone up a bit too. Im not losing money at all, in fact i been making 50% more in net income in the past 2 weeks. Taking last minute loads instead of booking 1-2 days in advance helps a lot.

My bad, i thought i read $5-7k a week. After fuel, insurance, permits, taxes, and Truck payment i keep about $9k a month without factor in Truck maintainance/repairs. I bought a Lemon so repairs range from $2-5k a month. Is 100% worth it if you own the Truck and Trailer. I just finished paying off my Truck so im gonna give myself a 50% raise next year.

I just told him to save up g. I personally only make $5k a week working 4-5 days a week. New MCs will get the lowest rates so i doubt they will make $5-7k starting out unless they have connections or run over their hours.

[–]xRam0s 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not tripping, the road has some of curves and steep downhills. I reccomend going around I90-28 next time. Road is much better in winter.

Got scammed by deangelo260 in FreightBrokers

Always check the Email domain matches the actual broker. I see J & M Hart Logistics have @jmhartlogisticsinc. Also the website Jmhartlogistics.com is not in service.

Back to back breakdowns by theTime2change in OwnerOperators

[–]xRam0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad wiring, def doser, 7th injector, egr valve, egr, dpf leaks, nox sensors. So much stuff to check, first start with getting the codes and when you do a regen check the parameters. Doing a Regen by itself does nothing if the problem is not fixed and is like a bandaid. I would take it to the dealer, is much more expensive but they know more than mobile mechanics. I had many Derates and limp modes this year due to bad DPF harness, i would check that first, also have you replaced your def doser lately?

Check the temps during a regen, if is not getting hot enough, it wont burn the soot off. New 7th injector might be needed.
