Me too but it was same customer :) so it at least was exclusive to them. You touched on another thing I forgot, the "exclusive use" to carrier Double brokering as I understand it...freight taken by carrier, carrier then sells it to another and takes a cut You can tell when u pick up, if you...

Please somebody explain this to a Canadian. I work for as an owner operator for a large company in Canada and pay my own liability insurance (they cover cargo) Why do I hear that the company you are leased to is supposed to provide liability and cargo? In Canada those that do obviously have a...

I did make it home. Del for downtown Toronto in the morning. I love runs that go by the house, way more space without sharing with the freight

Sure, but then I'd have to be off from November to April 3/4 inch of ice on the van. Some of it won't even come off the windshield. How is it raining when its -10? (14F)

Wow. A run It was predicted, freezing rain and the other drivers suddenly stop answering the phone :D

Geez at this rate I'm gonna start doing uship

Speaking of that, it's amazing how many jobs there are for DZ (your class B I think) near me. I've never looked before. "Freedom" has an opportunity cost

Aaaand I'm still sitting :D

Can't do that, then he'd need actual drivers with a commercial license :p

Getting closer to the numbers I'm looking for. Not that I'd dream of having employees, just for me There's a company near me that pays $1.50 all miles, plates, tolls...fleet insurance...stands to reason they charge a customer more than $1.50 a mile

Hope the divider meets the same crash specs as a dot sleeper...

Yeah, tried that. I'm way too unfriendly in person Edit: unless you're a driver...

Dude, what a way to send all the low ballers to ruin the trucking market even more. Regulate vans, and everybody will be buying under 26k straights

I sincerely hope you post maintenance cost on those two. Since you DO post numbers, can I ask why straights? Yes they have more freight opportunity, but myself, I haven't figured out how they earn more than vans...

Yeah if memory serves, you're right I think we had one of those back in the day.

My PLAN would be to buy a ratty old one, cash, and stand a chance even if i had to find a used engine. My emergency fund isn't big enough for a recent truck

Thanks. I've been searching all day, seems like DD/cummins for top, then Cat, then MBE either is awesome (for at least 2 people) or they all explode Trying to figure out how International spoiled the 444/466....saw a 2012 for $5000, electrical issues n no start Which brings to mind: would your...

Thanks FlyingVan. Couldn't remember the engine size Btw, your unit gets the best mpg ive ever heard in a straight...maybe its just driver skill?

I just had a lucid dream - started a trucking business, had the office, a couple of drivers were showing up with Freightliners and doing their pre-trips. I was trying to figure out how to break it to them that they were going to have to teach me how to get loads and run regulated. Time to put...

Probably my diesel advantage is imaginary, but I still have nightmares about my CNG van (basically a gasser with different fuel) walking to Murray's auto parts to get enough to start it in the shipper's parking lot Course it was a dodge, that's part of the problem
