I'm back been gone a long time whats going on

Well I have been away from here for a while. I have been rebuilding my company. I run on my own and I use a cargo van. Yes it is hard but fun there are a lot of places or companies you can run for

Got mines a couple of years ago. Did it myself,nothing to it. Hawk

RE: Hey Van guys (and Gals)! What are you paying f How are you making out with that hotshot set up,making any money? Hawk

Thats what I'm talking about,I had a head light out,loud exhaust,quess what? The only ticket I got was the seat belt,bigger fine.Oh well what can we do----Another thought---we got hours of service---tell me something how many hours can a doctor work in ER??? HUUUMMMM. You ask"What type of man...

Arky,you are right and with head lights on is a very good thing,and they should come on in bad conditions but like I said to be force is another issue. One thing for sure I don't know if they make a kit to convert cars with headlight that don't come on when the cars is running but I would love...

I'm not so sure that it should be a law. Its just like the seat belt law,yes thay are needed but do I need someone forcing me to wear them and than when I get stopped for anything other than the seat belt if I don't have it on I get the big bonus----I can see the police now just waiting for a...

Well I think its something to look into, I have own a many vans loaded them all kinds of wrong ways and never encounterd that.I'm not a sprinter fan,I think that it has a lot of limits----I think a box truck is just as good. Hawk

Have you ever seen a front wheel car on one of those test courses where the driver is going around cones,and that right rear leaves the ground? Well that is what it looked like, I'm telling you the driver wasn't going fast anf the drive wasn't that steep, I will be watching this one. Hawk

Have there been any reports of spriters laying over? I seen on the other day make a right hand turn into a driveway that was a little incline, and the driver was not going fast the right rear wheels came off the ground about a feet,I hiught the damn thing was going to turn over. Hawk

Thanks Tony, I have been around,had a little computer problems,trying to get another van can't get anyone to lend me the money at the rates I want. Hawk

Its is all about them making money and harrasment. How many hours can a doctor work in an emerency room under normal condition--how many hours can a policeman work----how many hours can a captin of a freighter work? How many hours can a 4 wheeler drive? Isn't the DOT trying to make it safe for...

I hate to spoil your fun but isn't this type of talk belongs on The Loading Dock? Hawk

Hi, 1.00 a mile is okay but I would try for 1.30 with fuel prices and insurance that you are going to pay 1.30 is okay. In some cases I ask 1.50 don't forget tolls. I have my own authority also and people think that truckers should run for nothing---but when it comes to them they can it id a...

Yes you can get it without the van but there is no advantage,if you believe in yourself don't worry about the startup money,there is no cheap way into this.If you have your own authority you don't need the commquail hell just get a cell phone and tell them to call you. Hawk
