I don't see why the liability and cargo insurance has to be so high for a cargo van. How many times is freight damaged in a cargo van fender bender? But that being said, I heard truck drivers saying that 1 million liability and 100k cargo is 1 million liability and 100k cargo no matter how big...

Cali just increased their minimum wage to 12 bucks an hour. I work 12 hours a week and now make 24 more dollars a week. In the next three years, minimum wage will be up to 15 dollars an hour. I might transition into a job at a gas station 3 days a week 6 hours a day and then be making 1200 a...

They don't. But they have no way of knowing the loads are being double brokered. Even some of the bigger carriers on that list bid the loads up and then double broker them. If you had access to just their loads and a Sylectus account, and lets say you were able to re-broker just one load a day...

Yeah, double brokering can get you into some real big trouble once things go wrong. I loved working with them because they paid enough in their loads to give my drivers a dollar a mile on long runs and way more on the shorter stuff. I still made a good amount of money after paying the drivers...

Where's that one poster named threadlocker at? He can come and get this thread locked up lol.

I know where the office is out here in CA. But it's hard to get on with them. They only allow a small amount of carriers to get their loads. Mostly ones that they trust to get the loads delivered on time. They pay good money though. Some of the carriers that are on their list actually bid up the...

I used to like driving at night because you can get away with some crazy stuff you can't during the daytime. You're more invisible at night lol.

The horse carcass is gone. All we're doing now is beating the bones of the dead horse. Next thing "said bones" will be completely pulverized and up and vanish like a fart in the wind lol.

They got one now for Omeprazole causing kidney failure and chronic kidney disease. I'm on that and 3 days before they removed my gallbladder my kidney function went down to 43. Maybe I should get in on the action lol. Kidney function is almost back to normal though but I also stopped taking that...

Down to Northern California where the girls are warm so I could tell my sweet broker hey "keep on raping me baby, keep on raping me baby, keep on raping me baby; baby, baby, baby! lol

Have your coffee cup nailed to the dashboard because it's gonna go flying lol!

I need to start wearing mine again. I was prescribed the 30/40 ones and they're too tight. But sometimes just the 20/30 ones aggravate my bad leg. Some days I don't even like having a regular sock on it. I'm a wuss when it comes to pain. I had to cut the tops off of all my right side socks and...

I have 3 pairs of pants, six pairs of socks, 4 shirts, one being 7 years old lol. I used to just wear the same pair of pants and the same seven year old shirt for a few years when I was not getting around much. Finally the people at the lab test and doctor's office caught on to me always...

You can try using compression socks when you drive. I will be using them when I drive again. They squeeze the blood back up to the heart and prevent pooling in the les. This is even better than doing calf exercises.

I had one of those for a while. It was 20 degrees outside and in a van with no insulation, I was able to sleep in my undies and T-shirt lol. It was so warm and toasty up in that van. I will definitely get one again if I ever drive again.

I have two clotting disorders. Factor 2 Leiden and Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome/Hughes Syndrome. They put me on blood thinners for life just based off the size of the clots in my lungs. But they also did the genetic testing which is also important because the Factor 2 is an easy disorder...

Yeah. That's how this all started. I had Large Saddle PE. It is where the clot straddles both pulmonary arteries and also went into both upper and lower lobes. Also had an extensive DVT to the point I could no longer walk. I still have some lose of use and chronic pain in the leg. I toughed it...

I don't understand. I paid 300 a month for Sylectus, but all of my bids have been rejected! lol

I offer you up a famous poem and words of wisdom that a famed member of this forum once gave me. His name is 60MPH. You can search for all of his posts about fuel mileage and how driving at 60MPH is so slow that most road rage drivers can't go that slow long enough to mess with you and he was...

Today I drove 60 miles round trip to work. I have been off work for a month due to Gallbladder surgery. I'm glad I wasn't on the road when that darn thing acted up. I'd take blood clots in the lungs any day over writhing in pain so bad I could not even force myself to take a shower and go for a...
