    Advice for a 22 year old starting with van?

    He's so new he may not even gotten a check yet. If so, he's got projected earnings. Hopefully he's with a good fleet owner that thinks he will get the same income as the OP thinks he'll get. That's if he even pays the driver.

    Cargo Van Merecedes Benz Sprinter--Looking for work

    The reason I asked about your insurance was to figure out if you have what you'll really need. I got a quote last year from my regular guy to insure a new Transit running local in your area. It would have been leased to a carrier. The cost was so high that I passed on the deal. The cost of...

    fuel used in almost 3 years

    Geo is one of the few not idling to keep cool or warm or to recharge batteries. Also, no mountains. I wonder how much his different style of operation plays into his mileage. He also probably has a consistent supply of good fuel. And I think he uses an additive. Smart operator.

    Low prices are killing this month!ppl bending over like crazy!

    If you've met many drivers you know some like to open their mouths. Or if you're in an incident and your paperwork from 1-2 days ago is still in your cab. Or if for whatever reason there's a HM audit being done and all HM loads are compared to logs. Oops! Looks like this group of trucks isn't...

    Oh, in today's technical age I believe it'd be pretty easy to prove you were driving. The time and effort wouldn't be used unless there was a major reason to do so. Like a fatality accident, large HM spill, etc. When that driver pulled his semi in front of that Amtrak train near Mokena Illinois...

    Low prices are killing this month!ppl bending over like crazy!

    Anyone that logs has probably filled out a sheet documenting the previous seven days when changing carriers. If cv drivers filled one out prior to starting a HM required log it would appear that the ten hours off would be required. And if previous days were busy, the driver would have to check...

    John Mueller, Terry need to pipe in on this one. Or anyone else that officially wears a safety hat. Right now, although I respect the people and ideas presented, it sounds like the counter of any large truck stop. And that's not where I like to get my education.

    If you drop a run, NO LOGS REQUIRED, and pick up a HM load (w/o 10 hrs off) it's got to be falsification to show going into the HM load with a fresh 11/14.
