dscincexp: Well that's good for her. The Tim I know has a Sprinter and cubes. There was no way of knowing which Tim she was talking to. Good luck.

Yes of course the hold back is on the fleet owner, but Tim told a possible driver that as a driver of a cube van you would have to wait 4 weeks for your first weeks pay because he is paying for the fuel and tolls. There is no one week hold back. But there could be different offers to different...

I think Mornigstar means that the fleet owner must not be desperate for a driver, not the company C & M. But I know that Tim, the fleet owner is also not desperate for a driver. He is a very good owner and will do what he can to help you within reason. In his cube van he pays for all fuel and...

I think Panther is a very good company. I never said you should get the same pay without hazmat or a passport for a cargo van. The problem comes, as a pre-approved driver for cargo vans, when you go through the process with all the different owners, some of whom can not speak english that lie to...

I guess what I was trying to say was, that I, as a possible driver for the owner, I would never abandon the owners sprinter van anywhere. He was having a hard time trusting anyone. I consider myself a professional driver and business person. Other owners have told me the 20% would not cover all...

A new owner just put on 1 sprinter van with Panther in November. No hazmat, no passport, no cdl. .71 to .73 plus fsc. Offer from owner to a new solo driver was 40%, owner keeps fsc, owner pays for fuel, tolls to be approved first. 20% to driver on comdata card for fuel only, at pickup to cover...

I have been told by several owners that only have 1 cargo van or sprinter on with Panther that they get .70 plus fsc.

Yes sir, My comment was about some fleet owners of cargo vans, of course not all, and not o/o's. The main question was about driving a cargo van for an owner. In my experience going through the process of talking to 8 owners of cargo vans that were all on with 1 certain expediting company where...

There are lousy owners of cargo vans out there too.

Thank you John for the information.

Excluding Panther, which companys do not require a CDL to drive a cargo van ?

Thank you. I think I will try that.

I do not know what KY. requires for CDL-B, but I agree with some others here to go get the CDL handbook from the BMV and study it and take the tests. Here in Ohio for a CDL-B total cost is around $250.00-$275.00 That includes taking the written general knowledge and air brakes test at BMV, temp...

Thanks to all for the info.

Thank you for the advice. I think the carbon monoxide detector when using propane would be a good thing to have. That way, I don't wake up dead.
