    I can make 600 a month working 12 hours a week now or make 600 in 1 night again. Hard to argue with those numbers.

    No more unbranded vans. That's why I have the option to go used flat top van or new/used high top van this time. I want to do it right. I was almost out in 2016 with an older van and very little savings and no credit. I decided to hold off until I had good credit limits, cash reserves, and a...

    I don't want to do that again nitetime. I actually want a gig like you have but I am truly not sure if I can handle those kind of miles anymore. I need like a 600 mile or 1000 mile run, or even a 1600 mile run; then a day or two to rest then do it again. I would prefer to work for 1 company that...

    Oh, sorry Grizzly. I didn't know if you remembered me or not. Imma try and see if Turtle can get me access to my original name. It's just coming down to what I can do. I improved myself with the cleaning job. I went from being only able to stand up for 2 hours a day to 5 hours a day, but cannot...

    This house is like a prison cell. Time to bust loose again. Just waiting until my rescue cat passes on and I get all of my credit cards paid off and the limits increased. I got money saved up to pay van payments for a year if I do not buy one cash and good credit limits. My goal is 1200 a month...

    I know how expedite works. I'm a battle hardened veteran lol. I'd have to have at least 85 cents per mile to make a come back worth my while. Is there are least that? If not, then it will be a used 6 year old low top cargo van with good fuel mileage and no fancy sleeper built in lol.

    The only reason why I want to drive again is because I am semi-disabled from blood clots and working part time as a Janitor is very hard on me. I can handle sitting and driving much more than I can handle any other forms of work. So, for me, it's not a make big money kind of thing with driving a...

    That's not acceptable for a 45k cargo van. I figured rates were going back up due to the lack of capacity in the trucking sector. Also, Trump is now making a new arrangement with Mexico that a higher percentage of auto parts must be made in the USA. That can only help to provide us with more...

    California Court Ruling Targets Independent Contractor Classification

    One of the biggest reasons why the government has to get involved with businesses is because they always refuse to do the right thing. They never self-regulate They push and push and push until their workers push back. I am at a new cleaning company now and have plenty of time to complete my...

    California Court Ruling Targets Independent Contractor Classification

    The only real problem I have with companies labeling cargo van drivers ad independent contractors is that they do not allow us to receive work from other carriers. All contractors, HVAC, plumbers, and the like will receive job offers from many different companies. They do not work at the same...

    I had a van in 2016 but was not ready to come back out. How are the rates doing for long and tall cargo vans? I'm gonna do it right this time with a full sleeper and air conditioner, golf cart batteries and permanently fixed generator with it's own fuel tank. I want a rolling palace in the front...

    Still here in Los Angeles plotting my return to expediting. Promaster or Transit is in my future. You might once again see the lone cargo van out there with California plates on it. Someone has to fill the vacuum that OVM left when he retired.

    How Has Electronic Logging Changed the Trucking Industry?

    OVM, you seriously gonna blame the driving for making you brain dead lol. I thought it's all that good Canadian bacon clouding your better judgement lol. Everyone has different safe levels. Some can drive a thousand miles like nothing, others need a nap in between. It's up to the driver to...
