I was wondering if anyone is using the k&n filter on their Sprinter and if so, what is the verdict? Better power, better response, less MPGs? Any issues like oil geting on the airflow sensor, etc?

I'm trying to file my taxes through TurboTax, but I get to a screen where it tries to determine weather I qualify for the standard mileage deduction or not. Now I own(still make payments)the van, and I am an expediter with a local company. It says that if you own the vehicle or use it for hire...

dhalltoyo , who have you found for 326 a month if you don't mind me asking. I am in the process of getting my own authority.

I am trying to file taxes on my own but I have too much stuff to deduct..lol. No, I am dead serious, I drove my van almost 100k miles and I only made like 41k. Now only deducting the standard mileage I would be around zero profit. If I also deduct the days out, the phone , and interest payed on...

I know there are some archived posts about cargo van insurance I just can't seem to find them now. Does anybody have any information about good companies providing 1 mil in liability for cargo vans. I am in Atlanta, GA if that matters. I also got a quote from progressive for 3800/year. Sounds...

It's about time to have my tires changed on my ford e250 , and I would like to know if any of you have any tips you would like to share with the rest of us regarding tire purchases.

They pay next to nothing (I used to work for them few months ago). Most if not all their work is set up as routes. An example would be: for a cargo van/around 150 miles ATL-BIrmingham AL/5 nights a week, 9pm-4am, about 8hrs a trip because it includes heavy and time consuming loading-unloading...

If you are driving a cargo van, and they have plenty of miles for you it should be ok. The tractor trailer drivers get about the same, maybe a few cents more so you should be fine.

I think the best cruise speed is somewhere right under 70mph. The rpms give you enough power to go uphill. If you go 60 you will definetly have to downshift going up on a hill(that's extra gas and wear). I have a 2002 ford e250 5.4 v8 and the gas costs me roughly around 10 cents/mile, that's...

I was trying to see if the owner of the truck has to be qualified with the company aswell, in case he has a qualified driver working for him, and if so, are the requirements the same? And one other thing just in case someone knows, is the worker's compensation a major expense for the owner? Any...

I'd like to know if anyone is experiencing problems with their companies calculating the miles. And has ne1 heard of the "air miles" system being used? It's weird, since you are not flying to be payied for air miles which sometimes instead of 860 it's 760?

Any other opinions regarding expediteloads.com? Users what do you think of it?

La_purr I hope you checked with the company you want to work with and see if they put up cargo vans right now, because as far as I know most of them don't. Let me know in private if you find one.

Does anybody know if there are any companies that handle south and south-east expedited freight more than others. Just wondering...

I was just trying to let the wannabes know the charges they might come across when setting up their truck at the orientation. The information was taken from the Express-1 official web site. " INITIAL OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS Sattelite installation.........$150 Sattelite deposit..............$600...

Don't know much about CTX but I would strongly recomend you to get financing for the van before you quit your job. I am talking from personal experience. You will have to bring them a written proof of possible future income from CTX or whoever you will work for and it's to much hassle. About the...

The HQ is in Ohio. Do u know anything about them Tony?

I would like someone to answer you because I am interested too. I have a friend who has been an expediter for about 6 years, he changed 2-3 companies, and in a cargo van he said the worst year grossed 55k and the best was last one 68k. It might be optimistic to think you'll make that much the...

I found something, it's called Laser expedite. Have anyone around here heard anything about them? I couldn't find anything in the archives...
