There is plenty of work here and you dont need expensive new trucks for more info email me s2kvlad@gmail.com. They are paying 5 dollars the yard but all you need is an 85-1996 truck.

trucks with air suspensions dont work well here. You need at least a 18,000 front and 44,000 rear. You need at least 2 axles and pretty much a nice heavy duty mechanical truck. Its hard to get a good diesel tech no electrical equipment with computers.

Right now I am running a International 2574 with Cummins NTC 350 and a Freightliner with an 8V92. Mechanical labor is dirt cheap. Today I paid 50 bucks to have a pair of drums changed out and 10 dollars to have a clutch adjusted. There is plenty of work up to 5 years. I have contact with some of the best contracts in the country. There are 40 to 45 trips made bi weekly each paid by the yard of your bed. Minimal we look for is a 20 yard bed. You use around 200 galons of diesel a week at 4.50 a galon. I will manage your fleet or you can consult with me for a fee how to work here.

REMEMBER YOU DONT NEED AN EXPENSIVE FLEET THEY WILL NOT FUNCTION WELL HERE.

I am looking to be a fleet manager and manage your fleet.

I wouldnt advise you to drive your own truck. A driver here makes 500-600 a month salary. If you are serious about this email me and we will talk in a private matter. I would advise you to sell the 2006 freightliner and buy 4 or 5 older trucks. We dont have advance tech that work on electrical systems.

Shipping is 2k from Florida and taxes are 3 to 5k. I can either help you out for a fee or manage your fleet. Since I have the ability to get good contracts and know reliable people. The issue here is the drivers are low lives and will steal your diesel. Also you need someone to stay on top of the truck for maintaining it. Getting a visa shouldnt be hard I can connect you with the right lawyers.

I haul rocks and some times sands. I haul small rocks not big boulders. After maitenance, fuel and driver I am at about 2000 a week on each truck. I dont work my trucks 24 hrs a day too mines are a 1989 and a 1986 so I try to baby them more. However you bring in a 1995-1998 Mack DM you can make more than me. Ships often come and pay about 150 dollars a load to move sand. You can do this after you are done with your 7 to 4 PM contract.

Dont worry about a driving test we are in the 3rd world. You slip a few dollars and get by that. However Panama offers 1st world life style if you have seen how our city looks its like Miami Beach mixed with NYC.

We get paid bi weekly some times the payment is a week late tops but we get paid. They need trucks here badly. Outside of Dubai this is one of the areas with the most constuction.

First you said you want to be the fleet manager, has a lot of work with 3 years contract, but you're asking not to drive our own trucks? if the drivers are low lives and steal the diesel...? are you serious...? because here in the states we are serious and would love to work under 3 years contract, please reply if you're SERIOUS.

lol some people wait 3 hours for loads.

traffic is bad here

roads are bad

right now i have my trucks picking up garbage and just working for 30 dollars an hour for our local garbage company.

contracts here dont mean anything companies will drop fleet prices or get rid of you when they feel like it because someone is going to do the job cheaper.

i am enjoying garbage pick up my trucks run on decent roads dont go for very long distances....and they pay every 2 weeks.

had a contract and a company actually took 6 months to pay me

Do you need more trucks? How about an auto system?
