Hi, I was wanting to try expediting in a cv/sprinter under contract with a fleet owner to see if I like it enough to pursue. Does anyone have any recommendations as to reputable carriers I could call to see if any of their fleet owners are hiring? From what I gather, a mid-size carrier...

How about them Reds!

Hi, I've been searching the forums to no avail so far on the following issue: I would be hiring on as a co-driver of the O/O in a straight truck and am wondering what would be a fair contract? I wouldn't be paying fuel, so would it be 20% of loads, what about fsc and the other stuff? Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone lives in the Western part of the US and how they deal going home and getting back into service? What are the more decent cities to get loads from out there if you are a solo? I was also thinking about buying a travel trailer to live in and travelling around. It seems...

I was offered a job with this company: MedicalDeliveryServices and wanted some advice. They pay $.46/mi. and I'll be running 300 miles a night, 5 days a week, so $690 (with only about a $50 surcharge for gas per week). The route only takes about 6 or 7 hours. I'll be hauling Hazmat...

Hi, Is there a list as to where to get an annual DOT vehicle inspection? I'm looking for one in the Cincinnati/Dayton area. I called a few places and none offer it. I have the "ABS" light coming on, meaning my right front anti-lock brake system is screwy. Should I get this fixed first...

In Class A CDL trucking, you can start out in otr work and then go to regional/dedicated work with experience. I am wondering if there is regional work for a Class B with Hazmat, I haven't been able to find that much. It seems like there is only otr jobs for vans and straight trucks if you...

Hi, With the Expo coming up I thought it might be a good idea to post a question list I found on the internet and was compiling. If anyone has any additional questions they think would be pertinent to ask please list them. Thanks. 1. What is the dead head pay / perimeters? 2. Do they have...

Hi, I have read on here such advice as to drive for someone otr a while to see if you like it, or buy a cheap used van for 5-10k to get started. While I concur the first advice is good, I am unsure about the second. It seems if someone has low cash capital to begin with, there is a fairly big...

Hi, I am going to try to get signed on with a fleet owner and expedite otr. Will I file the 1099 still? I am wondering if I could buy a GPS and other supplies now for my future work and write them off as expenses? Can one do this; should wait to get signed on first? Thanks.

Hi, I'm considering trying to get on with a good otr expediting company, and was wondering if anyone can recommend any with a hub in Cincinnati where I live or Dayton. I have a CDL B (and am now studying for Hazmat) and two years commercial driving experience, though almost all of it was...
