I was just curious if anyone has ever looked into the Mobile Advertising Business? From the research I have done, it looks like it could be pretty lucrative. The key to it seems to be getting the advertisers to sign with you. One of the websites I went to was: www.mobilemastertrucks.com...

I found this link to find contracts with the USPS. http://www.postalemployeenetwork.com/contracting-mail-delivery.htm Cornerstone

I was an independent contractor in 2006 and I received 60% of the gross of the truck. I paid for fuel and tolls and the workers comp insurance. What can I deduct as far as the truck goes? Can I use the miles as a deduction? I also know I can take the $52 a day per diem. Thanks.

I am wondering if the computer in the car would record the top speed that the car has ever gone. Not sure what they are doing these days but that would be nice. All I would need to do is go to the dealer and have them print that report. I would just have to hope my wife doesn't speed!:D I'm...

Thanks for the replies. Surprisingly the officer was very nice and said I should slow down. I wasn't arrested and I think I was in shock with what I was being told. He also told me I should have my speedometer checked because they aren't wrong. He went into detail on how they do the clocking...

I wanted to see if anyone else has ever had this happen. I was traveling on 71 in Ohio and I saw police cars on both sides of the highway. They were pointing at cars to pull over. I didn't see them point at me so I continued on. About 2 miles down the road I get pulled over. The officer...

My understanding of the ThermoKing Tri-pac is that it is an apu and uses a seperate heater. In the winter you run your heater without the apu turned on and when the voltage gets to low the generator turns on to charge the batteries. This seems like the best setup but it does come at a higher...

I understand that most people are not fans of the lease purchase program, but isn't it possible that this lease purchase is a good deal? Has anyone else actually seen the lease agreement besides myself? It sounds like everyone is basing their opinion on lease purchases in general, not this...

I couldn't agree more. I agree that every company has its positives and negatives and I think many times people post because they are frustrated or upset about a company. I have read many contradictory posts from people. One day they love the company, the next day they hate it. I can say...

I am also with Express-1. My experience has been very good. The dispatchers and corporate staff are very professional and all have a great deal of experience in transportation. They have kept me busy and they proactively look for loads for you. I think you can be successful at most of the...

This is a direct selling or network marketing company. I don't believe it is a pyramid scheme or a scam. They are members of the DSA (Direct Selling Association). It is possible for the average person to make money in this industry but you have to be willing to talk with A LOT of people...

How recently did he put the other truck in the shop for the same problem? My truck was reflashed last Friday and it stopped the problem. Maybe the new fix is out. Cornerstone

This is a brand new engine. Only had 3100 miles on it when the problem started. Hoping this is just a defect from the factory but at both dealers they had trucks in the shop with the same problem. Cornerstone

That was one of the minor issues I was having also. The dealer reflashed the computer and it went away. I would take it to the dealer and have them reflash the computer with the latest release. Cornerstone

I hope that is your only problem. The tech told me that they have another truck with the same problem as mine and that the fuel pumps are on back order. I have a feeling that a lot of trucks are having this problem.

I am still having issues with my C9. This time I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden it lost all power. As I pulled over the engine just shut off. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and it started again. After I delivered the load, I took the truck to the Freightliner dealer and at...

Broompilot, I respect your opinion and I know you are looking out for the best interest of your fellow expeditors but I don't think this is a bad deal. I have read the fine print and it clearly states you can return the truck with a 30 day notice. This lease is done through Schilli Leasing in...

I appreciate all of the advice. One of the things mentioned was having no options if things go bad. One of the reasons I went with this lease purchase is because I have an out. I can turn the truck back in with a 30 day notice and no penalties. As long as I give the notice I will get my $800...

I decided to do the Express-1 Lease Purchase. I know many on this site are not fans of a lease purchase program but having all of the facts in front of me, it made sense. I am paying $398 a week for the lease. They also take out $.08/mile which $.06 goes into a maintenance account and $.02...
