I'm sure there are many requirements to this that I don't know. I think such vehicles need to be inspected, but I'm not sure. Beyond that, how hard could it be? :-) Craig A friend of mine who started with one L1113 MB truck in 1976, and grew the business to maybe 100 trucks and at least 2 depots always said you don't make any money with the tractor. You make money with the trailer Unless you want to commit to a CDL and life bouncing over the road, you could buy a trailer and use it foe moving and storage. A dry van that is roadworthy and has a recent DOT inspection can be had for $2500 to $5000. Residual scrap value is $1200 to $2500. You can hire a tractor and driver. Keep in mind that FTL freight is about $3 to $3.50/mile and for a one way haul, you will probably pay $5 to $7 per mile one way, as you are in reality paying the tractor and driver to bobtail back home from IN. Unless you get really lucky and find someone who has a load going the other way. (bought a new trailer in IL or IN and needs to get it home) Dunno about your state, but here it is $35 a year to license a trailer. Insurance goes with the tractor, unless you want ins for the parked, unhooked trailer. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Then you wouldn't need any special license and the rig would be exempt from fuel tax permits, etc. In many states you could even bypass the scales. I'd be sure to have my papers proving it should the scalemaster send anyone after you for missing the scale house. And you'd learn what slow really means.

I think once you put magnetic signs for your business on the doors of the pickup without painting DOT numbers on it you're asking for it. Back in 2002, he could drive a 28' box truck full of materials with a helper driving an F350 towing a couple of fork trucks and a scissors lift, no DOT numbers or weigh stations AFAIK, or maybe he just didn't know any better. By 2005 he'd sold the box truck because it had to stop at weigh stations. Soon after, he'd had problems with the F350 because its GVWR was over 10k and switched to a F250. In recent years the F250 has DOT numbers on it and he gripes a lot. I don't know if it's because it is used for business or because the combined truck/trailer weight is over 10k. I used to read about Hot-Shots hauling freight with F350s and Ram 3500s maybe 10-15 years ago, and that end of the business seemed to be about as regulated as gypsy taxis. Maybe my friend who works on factory conveyor systems just got caught up in a regulatory crackdown on the hotshots. I do know that as a guy who hauls his own tools on the road about 10-20 times a year, he doesn't think he should bear the same regulatory costs as somebody who has a long haul semi on the road 300 days a year.

Re: [MBZ] Fw: Today's CL Crack Smoker
DOT inspection is a requirement for both the truck and trailer. Insurance for a commercial truck will shock your socks off. Trailer not so much. License for truck will run in the thousands per year. Trailer license, if done as a permanent tag could run in the $500 range [perhaps, depending on what state you choose to register it in]. To drive said semi tractor, even without a trailer attached, you will be required to hold a commerical license [more $$$, and more DOT physicals, and more regulations..] If you get a ticket in your private vehicle, for example, and hold a commercial license, it could cause loss of license and fine at the commercial level. I presently own two 53 ft trailers. Permanent license tags. It is much cheaper to hire a driver with a semi tractor to move them with contents, when I need to, than to own and maintain a tractor and commercial license.

Re: [MBZ] Fw: Today's CL Crack Smoker
My wife worked with a guy who collected cars (he had an S600 he bought cheap, said he had no problems with it, surprising, I would see it parked next to my wife's SD in the parking lot) and told me he had a big tractor/trailer he would drive around to collect them. I asked if that was a problem, licensing and all that. He said he got a CDL and took one of those classes on driving the truck but other than that it wasn't a big deal. I guess since it was a private owner different rules applied? I never pursued the car thing, I should try to do that.

I have a friend who converted a semi trailer to a motor home, and pulls it with a semi tractor.

After my Dad passed my Mom worked for a couple of different people over the years just to keep busy and have some pin money. One of the places she worked with was an equipment moving company that hauled stuff all over the US. She answered phones, so she would be the first point of contact when the drivers called in to Dispatch. She said that there were certain states where the drivers knew they would be stopped and scrutinized, and often kept off the road until things were put in order by the state DOT boys. She also said that most of their drivers had multiple driver's licenses, a chosen one which they would present when stopped depending on the state they were in. I worked next to Mayflower's national headquarters in Zionsville, IN when I first started in the generator business. Mayflower recruited drivers big time, providing training, tractors, etc. Many of them came by our place because they were using power units powered by Onan engines for heating the cab and providing electricity. From what most of them told us, they were beholden to Mayflower for pretty much the next decade or so, as it would take that long to pay off the tractor and training expenses that Mayflower fronted them. We also heard stories about new drivers who wanted to stay in motels rather than their sleepers, and how they often ended up in the hole or close to bankruptcy as a result. Expenses were so tight that you pretty much had to live in the truck to make a decent living, or so we were told.

Re: [MBZ] Fw: Today's CL Crack Smoker
It'd take 250 free for the hauling cars to pay for it, and another 10 or 20 to pay for the fuel to crush the cars to pay for it. Sounds about right - but it is a bit pricey . . .

Re: [MBZ] Fw: Today's CL Crack Smoker
It's the GO BIG OR GO HOME section.. haha Definitely the bring money section... many items in the $20,000 plus range.. which seems a bit strange considering Craigslist other sections. Glad I could expand your needs... sorry for the permanent damage it will do to your marriage and bank account... ;)) Grant...

It did, however, inspire a wild idea: Purchase a tractor and trailer and use those to move to Indiana. Then I could have another source of income once I got there. I'm sure there are many requirements to this that I don't know. I think such vehicles need to be inspected, but I'm not sure. Beyond that, how hard could it be? :-) Craig ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
