Tri-State also had HH movers miles customers to. I know CAT is one of them.

I am incorporated out of DE. and run my business out of OH. Just got to pay that one time fee to the secretary of state for OH. Works for me and I am all legal.:D

So what am I doing wrong?? Driving safely at 60 or letting the driver know I can only run 60?? I am not a aggressive driver and when I get the 1% that tail,flash lights, attempt to pass on the merge lane I slow down or get off at the next ramp as I stated above. I also let them ride my...

I have hauled a few loads for them and they pay within 30 days of POD & invoice. I believe they also run a truckload division. This is the one out of Mi. The one out of Tn. does not seem to want to pay the rates I offer them... So I have never hauled a load for them. The last time Metro out...

You would not believe how often this happens at 60. I usually get on the cb and say something to the professional :mad: on my but. Most of the time if they ask why I am moving so slow. I tell them there is a taddle-tail on the truck and the freight I am hauling is sensitive and if I break...

There are plenty of company and lease drivers only running 58-64mph and making money with the way the HOS is set up know. The only changes to the HOS I like to see is them to get rid of the 14 hour clock, and let us go back to split logging the way we us to. It is hard for a solo driver to...

Yea Jersey is usually good. I sit in Linden (usually drop near there) when I am in Jersey and don't sit long before usually getting a load going to New England.

Well then that is really cool that you don't have to sit the 2 days to collect. So If I drop ask for a relocation that is about 200 miles I can start rolling at the .50 then If I don't get a load the 1st 24 hrs I get 50.00. Then if I sit another 24 I get 50.00 again. That works I can make...

OVM I was going by CPM not just fuel, point taken on the 100.00 total!! You also have to figure in lost time to get that money. If I get the 100.00 for sitting 2 days. Then decide to get relocation pay at .50 a mile I guess I could move 1250 miles before it was costing me money to move...

HE-HE All the big paying loads are out of OHIO don't-ya-know!! No competition there either:rolleyes:

I am with Greg on this. We need to tighten are CDL standards. Now I am going to get some hate on this, but this is my view. ALL trucks, bus, RV, towing vehicle with a GVW of 10k or more should be governed at a maximum of 65mph. That should also be the maximum speed on any road way. There...

Please keep on thinking that!! I make my living off of liked minded people like you:rolleyes:

The problem I see is if you don't know what the rate is before hand you are probably leaving money on the table. As I mentioned before not all load destination's pay the same. Yes you get 50.00 if you sit up to 48 hours for DH. For 50.00 I can only move my truck about 75 miles before I am...

Depends on the year I know for sure pre 2003 there is a motor and linkage you would have to install along with the switch. 2003 and newer I don't know but I believe they a drive by wire so it maybe possible. I know my 06 D-max is drive by wire, it is possible that the gas motors are to. If...

Thanks for the incite Chef. I would have a hard time going back to a company. My eye's have been opened since going independent. I am also set in my ways, which most companies do not like. I am no longer a hustler. I hate to say it but I am now a paid tourist:D
