    Re: Installing Fan-Tastic Roof Vent On Cargo Vans They are plastic...very, very plastic. I'm with billg, I just don't trust people that far.

    Knee's hurt?

    Several of my mom's neighbors and friends have had knee replacements over the last few years. They have all had the "stryker" knee replacements and all of them have done well. Mom had one knee done last year. Her recovery period took quite a bit longer than the others, but she is doing great...

    cargovan class 2014 would you go?

    I would suggest a portion of the class be dedicated to insurance. Shelly at CIS would make a great contributor if she is willing (does she already do something at the expo?). Her blogs are very insightful.

    New Load One Gold Rewards Program!

    What they need is a different approach....more surveys??....something different than quizzes. They are obviously not capable of conducting a trivia based system.

    Revisit: Dedicated Bidding teams

    I'm told that there are more changes/evolution coming to how the teams are structured. It is my understanding that these changes will indirectly reduce the number of people each driver deals with on a day to day basis. As long as the changes improve the situation, I would prefer an indirect...

    Landstar info please

    That's odd. It hasn't been too many years ago that I contacted LS recruiting. I was in a straight truck at the time. I asked for a list of current drivers and got one. It was 5 or 6 names with phone numbers. I talked to some of them...I don't remember how many. I assume that they had gave...

    I don't remember ever having 14 BOLs. I have had more than one. I had 2 skids recently that had 2 BOLs. I just entered both on the same line in the BOL field on page one with a comma between them. I doubt that would work for more than 2 or 3 BOLs though. I generally just call dispatch and ask...

    3 skids PLUS 3 feet

    4,000 lb payload tells me the gvwr is likely more than 10k. 15'6" doesn't impress me. I'm fairly sure the extended sprinter has that now. Where is the advantage? The ability take wider pallets maybe?

    Newbie Introduction & Seeking Advice

    There are a lot of variables to the equation and there are several fedex teams here who could give you good info...some are even with expediter services. Your making good plans, just be careful to not set your expectations too high. I would consider $600-800 per driver per week to be an...

    Newbie Introduction & Seeking Advice

    Very good post above. I would, however, find the $800-$1500 per driver per week hard to believe for a new team driving for a fleet owner. I would consider those same numbers to the "team" per week. Those sound like recruiter numbers to me. I am sure there are teams out there doing those numbers...

    Newbie Introduction & Seeking Advice

    Because of your location, I would think that you would almost have to run team with somebody. Personally, if it were me...in your shoes...I would start looking at it with an all or nothing approach. You need to determine if the money is enough to satisfy you and your wife, you need to decide if...

    My weightloss journey

    You look great Jenny! Good job! This lifestyle is definitely hard on us. I have drifted right back into the same rut I dug myself out of a few years ago. I need to lose 50-60 lbs minimum to feel healthy again. It is amazing how much better we feel as our strength and conditioning improves...
