I found it!! AHH HA. After searching through 138 archived messages I finally found it! It was a post from chipwebb-- Topic number 2861 titled "West Tennessee" }> :D :9 Wolf

I was looking through the drivers ads and noticed that most of the drivers looking to drive cargo vans are wanting dedicated lanes. And i thought how nice it would be to have a dedicated lane with a cargo van. Then i remembered a post I saw, and I dont know if it was on this one or another...

I have only been in this business since January. Since this year has been slow and seemed to never pick up since winter shut down, and i reccently switched companies, thus i havent had time to save up money-- what are your guys' suggestions-- or plans-- for surving the winter shut down slow...

Just to let you know-- was reading the thread about no one is hiring any van drivers. Well business is picking up id say. Im leased on with Try Hours out of Maumee. I just put on 2,096 miles this week. Probably woulda done more if i didnt take two days off. And as far as I know they are...

So your saying-- that if its less then 26,000 lbs and I do not carry haz-mat-- I wont need a CDL? So then whats the requirement for a CDL A?

Was reading on the website the rules for CDL's. But from your guys' experience-- 14' box vans/trucks with the van front end-- would you need CDL for those or not? Not running hazmat. Doug

This topic has been asked previously and I found out no one can exactly help you-- so i will word mine differently. What things should I include in a driver/owner contract when having someone take over my cargo van? By this i mean when i hire a driver to drive for me.

A friend of mine is starting a small furniture business. Naturally she wants me to use my van to move the furniture. Great idea!! I have it all set up-- just some questions. What do you guys think I should do about the insurance, and secondly what should I do about authority. I believe I read...

Just letting everyone know now-- something has been happening-- and im venting on here. Reccently I came up with the idea of someone taking over my van for me, and I get a dually and start pulling Rv trailers. Ive researched and they want people who have at least 2 years pulling experience...

I got rear ended over a week ago in my dads car. He just wasnt paying attention. And he hit hard too. I went to the hospital and had nexk strain (whiplash) and lower back strain. The insurance company told me they werent going to pay much because it was "just a few scratches". I dont care...

I have a question. Speaking of signs of past accidents. Down In Kentucky on I-71 there is a sign that says "Site of a Fatel Bus Crash" and if gives the date. Can anyone tell me what happened there? Being that im only 21- I never heard anything about it. Kind of freaks me out every time i...

I don't post too much because I've only been doing this since January. Thats only 6 months. What brilliant words of advice to I have to say? LOL :+ I do say one thing-- after 6 months I thought about it yesturday (Friday) there has got to be an easier way to get those pallets strapped down...

Wheres some of these ad companies? I got a cargo van and only had one run this week-- i wasnt doing anything!!! If you can give me info-- let me know.

Try Hours doesnt. They asked me if I wanted to or not-- they said some guys want to-- some hate the idea. They leave it up to you. Im sure there are some other companies. Doug

Where can I get some runs like they get? $400,000 to take an elephant. About that much to take some beer. I could find a way to do it for that much!!!!

Yes the original run was from Huber Heights, Ohio to Oregon, Ohio which is 150 miles. Then from Oregon ohio to Pell City, Alabama which is approx 690 miles. Total of 840 miles. Next when I got to Pell City Al- I stayed over night and the next day picked up at Talladega Al to Ladson SC...

I was awaken early this morning to a call from my dispatcher saying he had something. He explained he had a run that went from Huber Heights Ohio (Outside Dayton) to Oregon Ohio. They will take the pallets off-- do something to them-- put them back on the truck and I can take it down to Pell...

Is there any kind of credit card companies that will be willing to help drivers with fuel and stuff-- you know suppling credit-- even tho they have bad credit? I (altho am still young at 21) when I was younger tore my credit up. Now my credit could have come in handy since I've been working my...

Captain's last post just gave me an idea of what else to talk about. During the winter I tried to sleep without using the heat or the truck on. Not a good idea. So I let the van run all night-- wasted a quarter of a tank of fuel. So what I did is I found at Walgreens or Wal Mart (one of them...

I am a cargo van driver. I didn't make a fancy bunk or anything. All I did is I knew that usually I won't sleep until I drop the load, which opens up the whole van. Which then I blow up an air bed- sit it in the middle where the pallets usually would go and pass out. But if however I do get...
