Day Cab Owner/Operator's

1-2am to noon-2pm......5 days a week. Seniority is a beautiful thing.

Asphalt and construction materials. The only way to fly

Home every night .

 

Have a good friend that does intermodal work in his day cab.

 

I too have been looking into buying a day cab. I think there's plenty of work here in the N.E.
I' wondering about Pepsi, or hauling Poland Springs. But my thinking that a day cab would be a little cheaper is way off

 

I am day cab flatbed.....I go anywhere anytime so my schedule is wacked and random but I love it. I find hotels with trucker rates (38.00 to 68.00) and try to figure that in to my rate. Seems to be enough freight when things are good anyways...I haul a lot of different stuff.

I am home every night or at least every other night as I dead head home for more loads.

I would say costs are waaaaaaay less than anyone OTR.

My biggest expense outside of the obvious is my once or MAYBE twice per week motel room...

 

But the prices......I dont understand why a day cab cost the same as a sleeper

 

Yea I I have a lot to learn about prices! Someday I want my 1st brand new truck but Jee$$$$$h!!

 

Or do you mean why us daycabbers charge them same?

 

Sorry... I meant price of the trucks

 

Yea I know it is crazy IMO. Used 2000's and back is where its at for me...for now...
