I remember that somewhere there is a website that is kind of a reverse DAC for truck companies. Of course (like the real DAC) the info is just posted but not necessarily verified. I guess it's a moot point for you now since you have the info you needed...but maybe for next time

Hello Andy..it's Elton..I was just wondering how you are doing and how life is treating you. Ive misplaced your phone or would have called you ages ago. Ken sold his truck in the Spring and is now driving a school bus. I got on Soc Security and am still freelancing fireworks and stage...

I never did get to drive for them but I had spoken to Lucas a few times about coming to work. He seemed like a very stand up guy. He was upfront and respectful and had things worked out I think I too would have enjoyed driving for him and Tammy. The one person I did drive for who DID have a...

RE: Questions on Location and Straight Trucks, Whe Ryder sold their "rental"(yellow trucks) business to Budget.. Try the commercial division.. (White Ryders) they have air brake units at the location nearest me here in GA. so Id think that would be true anywhere.. Im sure they would in larger...

RE: Questions on Location and Straight Trucks, Whe I think that was their deal with ConWay NOW.. which is no longer in existence. Dont know if Panther allowed that program to carry over when they bought out ConWay NOW >i think expedite solutions has a training program for >husband and wife...

RE: Questions on Location and Straight Trucks, Whe Get a 24' Ryder it's closer to a D unit than any of the U Haul trucks in terms of handling, visibility etc. Remember that part of your test is a pretrip inspection and be SURE the truck you rent to take the test in is in shape to pass.. You...

I have to side with Leo and I am NOT an owner; just a driver. I think the issue is the quality of equipment not simply age. Driver comfort is certainly a factor to consider(esp for old guys like me *L*)

ConWay NOW used to have a deal thru Driver Solutions where they would train you for your Class B CDL in return for signing on wiht them for year.. Most of those deals are nothing more than indentured servitude.. check for CDL schools in your area.

yep..it has to qualify as one of the nastiest truck stops in America

Rich Thanks..I was given the same advice by a very knowledgeable person who provides bookeeping and other services exclusively to truckers. She said incorporation wouldnt be cost effective and suggested your solution as a remedy to the liability question

Anyone have some opinions/info on incorporating as an LLC? Im a driver not an O/O but Im an independent contractor(filing a 1099). Any tax/liability advantages or disadvantges to it?

as Greg said: yes. Im co-driver on a DR unit and less than half our loads are reefer loads. You can haul hazmat too if you have the endorsement.

I agree with the others.. WC should be paid by you and QC by the owner.. Im lucky enough to be driving for an owner who pays both. I drove(very briefly) for an owner who had drivers pay for pretty near everything: EZ pass, TripPak, WC--fortunately the outfit he was leased too hadnt graduated to...

Looks like I will be hitting the road(again) in early May. This time with FedExCC in a DR unit..I think my co driver this time will be willing to run a truck instead of bringing it back in a WEEK!!! Expensive lesson learned the last time out(I'll also have my class B CDL instead of jsut the...
