morning. this is the new place and i'm glenn, i set it up and for a while i'm the one who moves your posts around.
three boards. Owner operator talk is the money and the road: authority or leased on, rates, lanes, weather, which pass is closed. Engines, DOT and maintenance is everything that happens with a wrench or a clipboard, inspections included. the buying board is for the number on your bill of sale and where the truck came from, whether that was a dealer, a fleet trade, a guy in a parking lot or a bank repo.
house rules, the short version:
- put the truck in your first line. year, make, model, engine, trans and roughly the miles. "my pete is smoking" gets you nothing. "2019 389, X15, 1.1 million, white smoke on a cold start at 10 degrees" gets you four answers by lunch.
- say what you paid when you post on the buying board. the numbers are the reason that board exists.
- if you recruit for a carrier, sell insurance, do factoring, work at a dealer or run a brokerage, say so in your posts. we won't delete you for it. we will delete you for hiding it.
- no load posts and no driver wanted posts. there are a thousand places for those.
- no ELD mandate politics. it has been the law since december 2017 and a thread here won't move it an inch.
accounts are by email request, the contact page has the address. i read it before my first load most mornings and on the weekend when i'm home.
