Ok thanks, I corrected my error.

I figured I'd ask if this UltraOne Expeditor card is still being used by a lot of you for fuel savings? http://www.expeditersonline.com/forum/general-expediter-forum/42550-new-ultrone-ta-program-finally-here.html I was gonna tack this post onto that thread, but it didn't deal with my topic...

Who is a good carrier for fleet owner solo cargo van drivers, any idea? I'd like to know.

Shrooms don't show up on the DOT test, which makes it kinda silly, literally. What you do when you're not working shouldn't matter as long as you are sober when working, as Turtle said. I'm not condoning anything, I am just for maximal individual rights. What about that legal weed now, which...

Thanks Turtle, I just meant leaving the travel trailer at an RV site while expediting in a van or similar, then coming home to it and changing location if one wishes on one's off time. You can rent RV spots pretty cheap by six months or yearly. People find many various jobs while RVing...

I was wondering if anyone lives in the Western part of the US and how they deal going home and getting back into service? What are the more decent cities to get loads from out there if you are a solo? I was also thinking about buying a travel trailer to live in and travelling around. It seems...

I checked and it says I would be completely liable. This is a bigger deal since the driver said the loads may be worth as much as 500k - 1 million dollars, and the medicine corrupts so it can't be untimely delivered for too long. There's no way I could accept this, even if the job payed great...

Too many for me, it just doesn't seem real tight. It needs to be company ran, it smacks of them trying to get out of stuff, short change the driver, etc. The gray area of liability is my major issue, just think if they tried to put $500k on you lol. I asked the driver about it, he said MDS...

Yeah I think I'm gonna pass, I can't work out the numbers so where it will be very profitable: it could easily turn out to be as Turtle suggests. There is also an issue as to liability for the cargo, as it may be up to 500k worth of medicine a load. They say I am liable for miss-delivery, but...

I have a CLass B w/ Hazmat and they require the vehicle to be placarded. I have the 100/300/100 insurance they required, but yeah I do need to contact my insurance to make sure it's kosher, or shop around. So you make .45/mi. in a tractor as a company driver? Yeah that's much better than...

For tax purposes, because I saw you can write off $.50/mi., so since they're paying $.46 it would be a NOL on paper—meaning I wouldn't have to pay much taxes most likely. They give you $5 per stop which I calculated in. I'm not sure of my route yet, they have me going near Detroit tonight...

Here's a little math, it's doesn't look real good to me. Pay Breakdown Per Week $.46/mi. x 1500 mi. + $75 ($5 each stop [3stops/day]) = $765 + 5% (fsc [varies each month]) = $803.25 – $22.75 (Occ/Acc insurance) = $780.50. Thus: $780.50 x 52 = $40,586 gross per year. $40,586 -$10,636...

I'm not really sure how good the job is, I think it depends on getting as cheap and high a mpg vehicle as possible that still has ample cargo space. I figured I'd give it a try since I'm unemployed. Tax wise I'll have net losses since the standard mile rate is $.50 and I get $.46, so no taxes...

I was offered a job with this company: MedicalDeliveryServices and wanted some advice. They pay $.46/mi. and I'll be running 300 miles a night, 5 days a week, so $690 (with only about a $50 surcharge for gas per week). The route only takes about 6 or 7 hours. I'll be hauling Hazmat...

I haven't found a site for a nationwide YMCA membership sign up, perhaps you could post a link. For instance, here is reference to a YMCA Max membership, but it says it only covers 10 facilities: YMCA and JCC of Greater Toledo I'll try to call them tomorrow and find out.

Does a membership to the YMCA allow you to enter any of them? They definitely seem to be the most widespread gym/shower solution. Unfortunately, they're almost twice as expensive as most, but do have saunas and even steam rooms at some places it seems. The next best from the map I have found...

Does anyone swing trade or watch the market while driving each day? Some brokers such as Thinkorswim have a free feed to CNBC. It seems like the job would lend way to this well. I wouldn't try daytrading per say, but swing trading would be doable. One of my reasons for liking driving is this...

Check the Driver Wanted classifieds here, I've seen some O/O's wanting drivers from Michigan. They might hire you on, then eventually you can buy your own.

I actually tried to look up those seat cushions, but didn't find anything searching "Aero space seat cushion." Thanks for pointing out the link above.
