Perhaps I'm a poor writer. I was pointing out that when a company tells prospective owner/operators their total average revenue is $70,000 ....the driver had better NOT think they were being told they would be taking home that kind of money... the Devil is in the details.. from that $70,000 the...

No, I owend a moving company for 6 years but I only had a freight load about once a month and that was usually between ships and trucking terminals. I sold my airplane a while back and was considering purchasing a truck and getting back into driving. I'm 56 and construction work is more...

Ok... I don't know what I'm talking about. I was told that an Econoline 350 cargo van was a class C vehicle . Apparently it is not. Since the E350 only has about 8 ft of cargo space and can carry ony 3,000 lbs it would be class A. This page finally cleared it up for me: Expedited Freight...

The number of hours you work has nothing to do with the choice of C or D truck. You work almost the same number of hours in either truck... except the larger truck probably takes a little longer to get from point A to B and probably takes longer to load and unload. But the higher freight rates...

Thanks... that is very important. With that information one could make a more informed decision. 1,000 miles would pay a "D" driver $350 more per week than a van driver putting in the same miles. Ok.. looking at fuel cost (with the best info I have found)... the D 22 ft diesel trucks gets...

Well yes, I'm looking it that way... time is money. If you don't look at the bottome line and compare profit in relationship to time invested, what formula would you use to make an educated business decision ? Even people on welfare make the same evaluation. Many do the math and conclude they...

You got me thinking.... If I could get my boss one of these he may stop riding my ass. On second thought... If I had one I probably wouldn't hear his whining. ! Ok... I believe ! Now it would be good to know how many extra miles/hours you have to work every week to break even with the...

The same logic could be applied to the choice between buying a $20,000 used van vs. a $72,000 used 22ft box truck. While you have a lot more options for loads and maybe 10 - 20% higher pay per mile with the 22 ft truck... you have to make $1,000 extra PROFIT every week to break even at the end...

Looking through your eyes... which are looking for profit, it doesn't make sense... however, as with all issues there may be another point of view. Perhaps the guy decided that rather than buying a $255,000 motor home he would get a small one with a cargo box attached and let someone else pay...

Doesn't work.. but it can be found here: Standard Form 86 - Questionnaire for National Security Positions So.... what is the difference with this security clearance and all the backgroud checks with Homeland Security and FBI and fingerprinting needed to get hazmat endorsemnt? I thought...
