I'd like them to adjust the time so the sun always sets at 9 PM ... I used to hate getting off work at 5 PM in the winters only to have it be dark out Nowadays, I just want it to be bright in case I have to work on things outside (vehicles , house etc ...)

With a small truck I would try getting on board with local furniture companies , printing companies, mattress companies etc... to do their local delivery runs (maybe even team up with courier companies to do bigger stuff for them). I looked on load boards before and many loads seemed to be...

Hi All, Looking to get opinions on the best value for ELD. So far I narrowed it down to 2 basic ones BUT I know there are others out there and would value your opinion(s) on what to get... The ones I am looking at now are : 1) Keep Truckin app - $20 a month and they make you pay all up...

My "normal " waking hours left to my own devices would be 10AM wake up / 3 AM sleep.... I can work on either side of my "normal" sleep patterns BUT it is harder to do.... I used to run some overnights and some early AM's BUT I found it best to work within what is "normal" for you (life is...

NO, It's actually the insurance company in this case I believe is running or trying to run the scam .... For them to attempt to deny a person or actually deny coverage to a person driving to an area where a passenger pick up is more likely would be akin to them denying a person coverage while...

When carrying passengers Uber's commercial passenger insurance takes over ..... When NOT carrying passengers the regular passenger insurance takes over... The gray area is when drivers are drivers are driving "looking' for passengers ....some personal insurers call this commercial use and may...

The run was from nj to California but we did not get it this go around since the driver was delayed due to a dot 10 hour out of service because of a faulty log book ( he was using hours of service sheets and not a real book). The broker said it's a once-a-month gig with a company he works with...

Truthfully, I'd have to figure out a reasonable pay schedule for OO since most of the people I get just use my trucks or we lease them and get a driver into one...OTR is easiest for me since runs are long and the dispatcher handles most of the stuff ... If you are willing to relocate near the...

HI, Actually I was running ads in the Richmond Craigslist .... I had not actually run ads here but probably should look into it.

I run local cars / mini vans (your own) .... typically I typically pay .85 per loaded mile or by the day depending on the contract....mostly small items like UPS expedited / lost luggage / medical trays... we don't gross $5K per week on these ...the 5K per week gross is the OTR trucks For local...

Well yes and no... The issues with week #1 were: Late delivery of lease vehicle by lease company, resulted in a lost load. Driver hitting a branch resulting in a partially destroyed box and a few shippers not wanting to load into a open box (more lost prescheduled shipments (what do you mean...

I'm not sure if we are in fact undercutting (maybe they are grossly over paid so undercutting them only means we are overpaid?) the big boys BUT our agent / broker / pimp does what he can to get us to gross $5K per week with weekends mostly off and home once or twice a week I have no idea if...

I'm looking to take on a driver running regional OTR (home once or twice a week / most weekends off). We run 26' straight trucks with lift gates....non CDL / no sleeper (since you are a Class A driver we could look into a sleeper truck since most non CDL with 26' box are on sleeper (BUT with...

I have a couple BUT I'm STILL looking ! ;-) Actually I started another thread looking for drivers / how to find them / how to keep them...

Hi All, Relatively new to the OTR game ( up to now mostly all local with the occasional overnight stay in a car due to an occasional long car courier run....But we did start 1 OTR straight truck this past last Monday) but in optimistic anticipation of getting big doing OTR freight ( non CDL...

Can't say what the future holds buy other famous quotes include: "Why would h$%# would somebody parked there?" In response to backing into a parked vehicle at our regular gas station. " the light was green why didn't they start moving?" In response to a rear end incident.. Sigh....its gotta...

Hi All, Yes, we made it out on Monday BUT not until 5 or 6 PM due to the rental company having to drive a truck to the location we were at (It was supposed to be there at 9 AM sharp so the driver had a long wait to get the truck) The driver drove the new truck ( only 3000 miles and still...

Based on the average per mile money we are supposed to make (Avg $2.10 per mile but pimp (er broker) gets 20%) and the number of miles (400-500 per day "stacked" miles so don't have to run all those actual miles to get paid for those miles( example.... 2 items going the same direction for about...

I have not started yet (will start this Friday probably), but supposedly I will get about 2500 - 3000 paid miles per week (sometimes multiple loads per run so miles can "stack" without actually driving extra distance) Supposed to be off most weekends and be home once or twice per week. Running...

Just curious BUT If I was Harry homeowner moving cross country in a uhaul in effectively a similar truck (under CDL airbraked truck) THEY would NOT catch problems BUT If doing paid for hauling THAT in itself could cause me problems (in terms of the air brakes since airbrakes in VA in an under...
