Just a thought, why not use a cabover for an expeditor? The Argosy looks like a nice truck, and it'd give some room for extra box length for carrying toys. Just curious.

It was mentioned in another forum that older trucks are fine by some carriers, I was under the distinct impression that >5 years was pretty much taboo. I challenged the person to give me a list of three carriers that are OK with older trucks, but all I've gotten was that he or she is OK with...

I heard this back when I was driving for Transport America: I was walking into a Flying J one day and seen a driver from JB Hunt coming out on crutches. Let me tell you, he was beat up something fierce: neck brace, arm in a cast and sling, black eye, couple of teeth missing. I said "Holy...

Does it have something to do with Michael Jackson? Probably not, wasn't a "sparkly white glove." How does it differ from regular expedited, can a solo do it, and is there more work than regular expedited runs? Thanks!

I've gotten two quotes in the last month or so, and the average price is about $1400 a month. That's insane!!! Is that what everyone is paying, or did I just pick two bad companies to try and get insurance through? Both companies claimed to specialize in helping small businesses get...

I do not intend to start driving until the spring of '08, but I'd like to start getting all my ducks in order starting after the first of Jan, 07. My question is this: Items that I'm buying for what will *become* a business, and are legitimate expenses solely for that business: can they be...

I've seen a couple people here posting that they use quickbooks pro... Any other software anyone recommends instead? Thanks! Bugsy

a K-bar or a Louisville Slugger? I ain't as good as I once was... :) Thanks, Bugsy

I see a lot of posts from people who are sitting in one place for a couple days waiting for a load. Is it "illegal" for you to search for a load on your own? IE, maybe find a local load, or one that takes you closer to a lane, while waiting? Thanks! Bugsy

Some of the posts I've read have led me to believe that what a particular load pays can be negotiated. Is this accurate, or is it dependent upon the carrier/load, or am I just misunderstanding? Thanks!

Do companies view the age of a stretched 8 as a class 8 (giving the benefit of a few more years of service) or do they get viewed as a standard straight truck? Thanks.

Any thoughts? I've seen some really cute ones, and God knows, I don't have any luck with the American ladies.

What are solo ops making, roughly, in someone else's straight truck? Wasn't planning on getting into expediting until a year from March, but circumstances may change soon. I know there are a lot of factors, I'm just trying to get a rough idea. I would be available pretty much all the time...

Did they go out of business? Last time I drove OTR they were just coming into vogue, maybe 9 years ago. Seemed like a good idea, did the wireless broadband thing get them? And if so, how do you get TV during layovers (don't tell me "broadcast", I'll have to find a new business!)

Hey all, I'm currently working in a factory, and hate working to make someone else money, someone who doesn't appreciate my effort at all. So, I figured I'd put my CDL back to work. The only reason I left driving in the first place, many moons ago, was a personal/sick family member reason; a...
