Double L Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I decided to change my major from management to criminal justice. Yes I still plan on driving a truck but I may use that criminal justice degree to my advantage and become a DOT inspector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it was effective. Everybody here likes you and is "rooting" for your continued success in the workplace. Nothing wrong with getting a dig into our current "public aid administrator" though.

Double L Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I think to become a DOT inspector in the state of Illinois you got to be a state trooper and my asthma won't allow it.I been working my tail off. Freight is picking up for sure. Yeah that is where I did my backingI found a 94-96 FLD120 flat top sleeper for sale for $7,000. I'm gonna stop by Friday and see what I can find out about it and maybe take it for a test drive. I already know the company I'm at will let me lease it on to them it's just a matter of finding the money to buy the truck. But if it doesn't have a recent overhaul or any tranny/rear end work done to it I'm gonna pass it up. It must have a current DOT inspection since I noticed a 2010 IFTA sticker on it.Here is a pic of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect meant but that truck is going to be tough to turn dragging a lengthy trailer. I think I'd start out in something shorter.Looks like a nice tractor and probably worth the money but I don't like such a long wheelbase.Just my thoughts.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Double L Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Actually it's not really that long at all. It's about the same length as our system trucks which are the otr drivers. The only problem with leasing it on with the company I'm with now is my age since I'm not 21 yet. They will most definitely lease the truck on not a problem at all. But I got to save the money up to buy it first or work out a payment plan but I want to see what they say on Friday about the maintenance history before I go any further with it and maybe take it out for a test drive.

Double L Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well that deal fell through big time on the 94 Freightliner FLD. The fact it doesn't have an overhaul or any rear or trans work done on it is a deal breaker for me. I can't see spending $7,000 now just to spend $15,000 in a few more months.I found an 87 Freightliner FLC with a fresh overhaul and I mean FRESH with no miles on it along with that they also had the fuel lines and fuel tanks cleaned and replaced. My previous employer owns it and it's been sitting for the past 3 years. Sure it'll need tires on it but it's a clean truck. They are gonna talk it over and go from there. This truck isn't being advertised at all and I may be able to get it for cheap. Hatcity I'm gonna be the one driving it and I plan on leasing it with the carrier I'm with now, yes they let me lease something that old on with them. Since I got a year until I'm 21 I got a chance to actually save up money and not rushed to do it either. Here are a few pics of the 87 Freightliner. Yes the 467,842 miles should be original miles. I think when it was Trans Petro they ran only a few states with mostly local work. I'm not sure how they operated but I got a good feeling those are the original miles on that truck.
