Well when i was just starting to look at this way of life I talked with a recruiter from the old roberts express.He told me that I couldn't make money in a van,and hooked me up with a Freightliner dealer who happened to have a lot in akron[not a akron dealer].He sent me all the paperwork,the...

I wonder what the OOIDA would think of this practise,as in the federal fair lease laws.There are rules concerning when pay has to be made to the driver/owner.There is a time limit,and a clear indication of legal deductions etc.Many years ago I looked into panther,they may have still been panther...

reply I went out of expiditing for a while,went as a company driver and then got sc---d.I came back,with a truck I thought was a hot set-up,and was wrong.BUT in reply to you,when i came back I went with a company I thought I could trust,with reservations.Low and behold the reservations were...

I know the problems with the aero cell.I have run one for 3 yrs. I still feel it is a good idea BUT, Unicell wants nothing to do with a conversion or anything other then selling the body.They say they will build it your way,but you are getting a bare body.They now ofer a stand up cab,but the...

RE: ye ha cowboys Sorry to hear it all.Yes I was in CB at the start,and things were different.I have stopped to help when I could,but no you have to be careful.A truck with the sign's on it ok,a van with no signs never.crooks do sit on side of road to rob,etc waiting for someone to stop. As a...

As some of you may remember ,I run a SuperB/little C. At 13,950GVW I always have to log,for me no real problem.{I have a log book deal on the lap top,use it to check for mistakes,will use it in future when truck is finished and can hook up a printer}When i was running a van I had a log...

Me also USAF vietnam,but that sometimes gets me a cup of coffee lol. I have found my Air Force atitude actually has caused me trouble.I approach a problem with "lets fix it then prevent it"and the young college boys[and girl] look at it as "I didn't do it,its somebody else's problem"so the cover...

RE: remember if Just remember that if you say something about the carriers that would upset them etc., that your post will be deleted,then no one will step and and say they did it.Funning how a post can disappear.

no

The thing to look at also is that the big trucking companies,teamsters,and ATA don't relly have a problem.The drivers are paid with no money out of those drivers pockets.The large companies already have a FSC that they collect,and a fuel deal because of there size.And the ATA represents the big...

Have to add this,when Dana got into money trouble[supposedly] they closed all plants they didn't own,gee came to find out that 90% were union plants. Now most plants are non -union.Then they shipped alot to overseas plants that they accired thru mergers[the one that created the cash shortage...

My 2 cents worth.That is why I was trying to make a little "c" type truck.It filled the gap between 2000lb an 4000 It would alow the carrer's to price it between the 2,but allow some to be in this bussiness with out the bigger truck per say.My little c does log,but most scales wave me...
