Hey All, Here is a question I have been beating myself up trying to figure out. I have a pretty little blond at home that drives my desire to get the most possible miles in and be a good provider. The same pretty little blond also hates me being away from home. I get grief if I am not making...

Hey Seeker, I am real new at this but (3 weeks) but am running with 3 different carriers right now. I seems to working ok but still have "sit times". I have had a couple incidents where I was almost double booked where it could have caused huge problems. make sure when a carrier calls and...

I guess the more I read and study on this it is a matter of personal preference and how much money you are comfortable spending on deadhead. Right now I am in nashville and have been for 24 hours, I see a ton of vans sitting in a row waiting for loads, I have been playing with the idea of...

You guys rock, lots of good info. Just got a load, be back on soon!

Well I got a cargo van, insurance and and some cash for gas and road living. Started going through a list of 20 different carriers and am really confused. I want to make the right decision for me and my family. Originally, I was thinking about finding 4 to 6 carriers that allowed drivers to...

Thanks for the reply's I just don't want to "steppin in it" when others already have and I can learn from their mistakes. Searching these carriers here has been helpful. I will probably wait on on the MC#. I was also told tonight that I don't need cargo insurance and will be under the...

Hello All, My first post here, my name is Rich from Traverse City, MI. Just purchased a cargo van (2010 Ford E350 extended)and am excited about expediting. I have talked with many different companies and think I have narrowed it down to 5 or 6 with good pay rates and allow drivers to work...
