    Chevy express oil pressure

    The mechanic said that the screen is was clean. Changing the pump expensive and you still don't know the result just after you install it. So I bought an used engine with 100 k and replace it. 650 for the engine 1000 for labor. Now is ok. Thanks

    Michigan Nexus

    I am an owner who hired a driver from MI. Based on the 1099 sent to the driver, MI state found me and sent me a letter concerning Michigan taxes. Reading through the papers I find the following: someone is considered to have physical presence in Michigan if "deliveres goods to Michigan in...

    New to this, old on the road...

    If you are going to be leased with one of the big companies you don't need to worry about paperwork. You run under their numbers. If you want to work with brokers, you need insurance, none of the rest. If you want to look for your own loads, even though according to DOT regulation being under...

    ? for fleet owners

    It comes with good and bad like anything else. You have the really good ones who learn the business and get their own vans pretty fast but you're really happy for them and happy you didn't have any issues and you made money even for that short period of time. And you get the ones who know it...

    Cruise Control

    Hello everyone, Do you know a good shop for installing an after market cruise control for a Chevy Express 2500? The state doesn't really matter because the van goes all over, east coast though. Do you know also the cost? Thanks

    Question for owners

    So I'm going back to my initial question, and the most important one: how do you make sure they have $1000 for you to get. What if they have been sitting home for the last week, you already paid them for the last loads, and they hit the van. And then they quit. How do you get your $1000? Again -...

    Question for owners

    How about when it's the driver's fault in an accident? What you say about choice in insurance is true. But if I have a stipulation in my contract regarding the "at fault" accidents saying the driver will cover the deductible, than the driver has the choice of signing the contract or not. So...

    Question for owners

    Hello everyone and Merry Christmas, I have a question for the owners. How do you protect yourself when it comes to money you need to recover from drivers? Do you have escrows? Do you withhold pay for an extra week? Also, anyone ever filed a lawsuit agains a driver? How did that go? On a...

    Need some info on Tri State and Panther

    I'm not sure what a class 8 means (I'm the accountant, don't kill me) but send me a PM if you need Panther mileage for single driver straight truck 22' box for the last months. We have only vans with TriState, they are doing a little less than those with Panther.

    Calling all cargo van drivers..(NOT RECRUITERS)

    And... going back to the subject: After being through quite a few companies (don't even ask why) I can tell you that today Pather is the way to go. People will always tell you it depends on this or the other, and in part they are right. But you can do all the right moves and if you're with a...

    Team drivers just starting, have a tax question.

    Even though the owner pays in one settlement, depositing the money in one account, and then you the drivers split the money, the owner has to report that on 2 separate 1099's issued to each one of you 50/50. Make sure you discuss this issue with him. You don't want to end up with an issued 1099...

    Attention Minnesota Expediters

    Don't know if that's the case here, but in GA they did the same thing, and only PUBLIC companies such as schools, or public transportation could apply. Individuals cannot, unless they contract with one of the public institution AND the public institution applies for the grant. Anyway, I'm just...

    Stolen van(GPS), part two (attn. owners)

    One more thing. They drive in a boxed van with All State Express signs on it. I bet it's not theirs. And I bet they were getting rid of it at the time they got in our van. Otherwise it didn't make any kind of sense to be both in our van and with both dogs. Unless they already fled from the boxed...

    Stolen van(GPS), part two (attn. owners)

    It didn't help us a bit that we DID do a contract, that we DO have copies of her SSN and ID. I mean it will help if I want to put her in jail. But if she decided to trash my van, she could have done it with or without contract. And I assume she would have done it if she had the time. We were...
