Here in Chicagoland, I had expected to get into expediting late this year, but it's not going to happen. I accepted a job offer to get back into the IT business, and frankly, the pay's good and working conditions are pretty good, too. It's kinda hard to to resign myself to being an...

I don't expect there's very many of them, but what should a sprinter driver (not owner, just a driver, paid in cents per mile) normally be paid? Is $0.30 / mile good or bad for a long distance (not local) driver?

The other day I had to stop and wait a few minutes at a delivery because a semi was trying to get himself situated on some new snow in a slanted ramp. What caught my eye, though, was this: It was a conventional cab peterbuilt, but a VERY long frame. You could have put a big box on the back...

Anyone care to say what their auto (not cargo) insurance costs them? And what limits do you carry? Liability, comprehensive, collision, etc? The occupational accident insurance I found seemed reasonable ( about 85 / mo), and the cargo insurance was real reasonable... But my...

For the last year, I was planning on hotshot driving with a pickup, and then that didn't really work out and won't fit with my plans. I've stumbled across an opportunity to get into courier / expediting, and now the more I read, the more confused I get. Can someone make the definitive...

Ram's putting out a new cargo van that should make a dent in the business. Those of you in vans may seriously want to switch. Price? Thousands less than a Sprinter. Fuel economy should be better than a sprinter with the diesel. Carries more than anything except a sprinter dually. The...
