    GM CUTBACK

    We MUST help those poor union workers! Everyone, go buy a new car! Buy two! I'm sure that you can afford it on the revenue made from hauling all that automotive freight.

    Cargo Vans and CDL

    You will need a CDL to have a Haz Mat endorsement. I don't believe a road test is required for it.

    FL 70 Heater control problem!

    Ah, a common problem! FL didn't design the heat controls very well and continues to produce trucks without re-designing them. We wound up stuffing towels under the dash to prevent cold air from entering. Drive Happy (but forget about warm!)Chris

    Nationwide pager

    I've had good luck with WebLink Wireless (formerly PageMart). They offer a plan with guaranteed messaging (when it's off or you're out of the area, it will keep resending until your pager responds that it received it). I bought the Motorola PF1500 advanced word pager. Service plans vary, about...

    Fedex CC Load Board

    Has anyone successfully trip-leased from them? I had called the number once, and it was disconnected. And the thought of all of those out there with those HUGE signs, trying to cover them up? I know they say it's allowed, but they make it all but impossible to do. Drive Happy, Chris

    Designate partner as employee, coowner, or incorporate?

    Incorporating to save your assets in the event of a lawsuit will only work if you are not the driver. If you are an Owner/Operator and are involved in an accident, both your corporation and you personally can be sued.

    Fedex CC Load Board

    "I guess we have a lot of speculation as to what FedexCC is doing without a lot of facts." http://www.urgentfreight.com/aboutus/presspage.asp If FedEx undercuts the lowest bid (because they see what the lowest bid is), they still make money and then hand it off to the O/O who can't haul for...

    "How to get a good run..."

    CARRYING a 6-pack back to your motel when out of service on a Fri night is alot different from DRINKING said 6-pack in your sleeper while in service. And drinking while in a private vehicle is just as illegal as doing it in a commercial vehicle!
