Thanks for the info, i have made a decision, need to get out there and get my feet wet, i was going to start this morning i have had to put my start back a week, i have applied to and been accepted with 2 other companies, and will apply to a few more companies, so i have some back-up plans in...

WOW, when I started this thread i had no idea it would turn into this :) So here is my 2 cents, Firstly if someone on here is making $1+ per mile and doing 2000 + miles a week i would be very interested to hear, i have heard average mileage across most of the companies is around 12-1400 a week...

Thought this may be an interesting thread, what gadgets do you take with you on the road, whats your most important one? i have, CB, Ham Radio, XM Radio, Laptop, Cell with internet, Ipod, TV, have fitted an Aux battery, want to add a heater...............Cell and laptop are probably the most...

Many thanks to Spencer Squire and Tim Robinson at ASE, i had an informative and productive conversation, I am looking forward to starting work with ASE, these people sound very nice, indeed all i have heard about ASE has been very positive, i would well advise anyone thinking of expediting to...

Will do, Many thanks.

After hearing great things about ASE, I applied to Tim at ASE on Monday, called yesterday, told to wait for a call, in that time i have had 3 offers from other large companies, im not being impatient but time is money, shame, ASE was top of my list, but i gotta get rolling...................

if your that worried, forget the shotgun, get one of these..............

any feedback on this company, average miles etc?

Well said, that is the kind of company i want to work with, tell me when and where to pick it up and when and where to deliver it to, i will make it happen legally, promptly and safely. Its not rocket science!!

Do Fedex offer that?

The van looks nice, though. Not a lot of insulation that I can see. You're gonna pay seriously huge for that oversight. Maybe not so much the cargo area, but at least hit the ceiling in the sleeper area with some Reflectix or something. You're gonna be living in there, so it should be insulated...

well, fedex told me as long as i contact them 1st and there is no delay on their load, and i have room, i could double up, however, after reading this im getting concerned!!

Thanks for your informative reply, i think it may deserve to be a sticky, i agree with those figures, i have done my own calculations which are pretty close, so, i guess the answer is, to try to get more miles, i would run 2500-3000 at 39 cents mile a week in the semi as a company driver, the...

that paints a pretty dismal picture, why would someone go away from home for lets say a month in their own vehicle to only make 4-500 a week, i would not, would you? however i am leaving today to start with fedex, i have a 3/4 van, i have many years driving semi's as a company driver, i expect...

I figured it was a general orientation package, and the apportioned bit does not apply to me, i will check anyway, dont want to drive 1100 miles to ohio unprepared, got the etrack installed today, that is a pain in the butt install on the floor of a chevy express, its cost me $500 so far to...

thats what i thought, however its in the orientation packet fedex sent, thanks Rich

it says on my orientation pack, bring apportioned registration, does that apply to my chevy express van as it is only 8600lbs gvw?

Perfect, thank you all very much for the answers, i collected the van today, its a 2007 chevy 2500 extended, i have 132 inches in total from the back of the seats to the back doors in the closed position, i have to leave 102 inches for cargo, so my next job is to create a sleeper space in the...

here is what i have to do to the van, put a half inch plywood floor in, install etrack/fire extinguisher, install a bulkhead, build a bed/storage, install a tv/cb/ham radio/inverter, install tv/ham/cb antennas, install lighting, aux battery. thats most of what i have to do, should be a fun...

Thats a good idea thanks,however im good with electronics, ill keep searching for a way to do it myself, not sure it would be a good idea to have the aux battery in the sleeper area, i have 35 inches of space behind the seats to make a sleeper area, that will leave 102 inches for cargo, i know...
