RE: I reckon that was a really dumb question :+ - Or is it one we should already know the answer to? If you choose to operate under your own authority, are there agents or brokers that cater to vans, or do ya just go out and beat the bushes? Thanks for the help!

Is there a "Load Board" out there with listings for cargo vans? We've checked out GetLoaded.Com, but with the exception of the listings for Hot Shots, all else seems to be for big trucks. Thanks,

We are (new to expediting) signed on with one of the small companies as a team. I don't think we have had a single run that actually called for a team. (Most of them only needed 1/2 a single driver:-() We enjoy running together, but there really doesn't seem to be any monetary advantage to it...

Hey BigRed, We've had AT&T and SprintPCS. Both worked well most everywhere. The AT&T OneRate plan gives you free long distance and free roam all over the country for a pretty reasonable price, but we switched to Sprint a year or so ago because we luv the picture phones, and the rates are...

<Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.> Thanks Numero, now I know what causes me to be like that! When you see it in black & White (well, actually blue & white here) you can't deny it any...

Well No, Pelican, We're not 'just sittin' right now! Actually we're running for near nothin'! On our way back home (deadheading from Illinois) we got a call to go by Lance here in Charlotte and pick up 6 boxes of potato chips and take them up near y'all. Then we deadheaded back home! Now if...

Thanks, Lawrence, for adding the Amber Alert ticker. I saw the two last night, and think it's wonderful that you've added it to the Forum. You guys do a great job and I hope you know you are appreciated soooo very much - even by those of us who spend hours and hours soaking up the info...

Thanks, Teacel. I don't kow where I got that Weave lived around here! I did just what you suggested, and they said everything was really slow because everybody had shut down for Easter and it would pick back up. Is this just more bull, or is everybody slow?

We are new to expediting, and signed on 7 weeks ago with Bolt Express. We are running team in a Ford 350 Cargo Van. The first two full weeks after orientation, we were busy day and night. Then things began to slow down. Last week we made two runs paying less than $350 each. On Friday we...

Thanks for the good info. I have a wireless enabled laptop, too, but about all I knew about it is that I can use it at home without being tied down to a cable, or in the truck via my Sprint phone. After reading the posts on here, I just downloaded Boingo, and I can't wait to get back on the...

We get online with our Sprint Sanyo 8100 cell phone. We connect it to our wireless enabled laptop via a USB cable that we purchased at BestBuy for $29 and a software called "SnapDial" that we also bought at BestBuy for $29. The hook-up is super simple, and it works as long as you have a signal...

Thanks to all of you who give so much of your time to make this WONDERFUL web site possible. I is a God send for us newcomers. My husband and I live in the Charlotte, North Carolina area and have just bought an F250 extended cab cargo van. Before we sign on with one of the big expeditors, we...
