People will be the problem as the Google cars are finding out but they still have a great record considering all of the miles that they are running. The system is actually "thinking" more than I thought it would and this article goes into an example. I'm not sure how the trucks could anticipate...

You asked for a ballpark figure on how much you could earn as a new driver and said that you knew there are variables but that's why we all have averages. I fully understand what you are looking for and asking. There is no group collecting data that I have seen that has an answer to your...

If a broker authority isn't being used then they would probably just let it go, especially given the new costs. It wouldn't change anything that you would be doing or stop me from driving for them if there aren't a bunch of other red flags.

I didn't misunderstand. There are many variables at play in this industry and as an IC so the numbers that you are asking for are going to be personal, notice the lack of replies until the question of income potential was asked. When you look at companies advertising they usually post average...

Asking for income potential is the best way to go. Someone that gives an average is giving you an average based on their skills, which you may have none of or more of. Since you already know everything about variables you know that an average is a personal number and it's kind of rude to go...

Maximizing your paycheck would probably mean going to a tractor trailer if you are going to drive for someone else. Unless you have money saved up I would avoid expediting for right now. Just an opinion from a random stranger on the internet. The earnings are all over the place and depend on...

It's great to see people stepping up and working on educating companies.

It might just be the bearing in the alternator. Try to find a metal rod or use a screwdriver to listen to the alternator and feel for vibration. Obviously avoid touching the electrical connections and grounding it.

Anyone want to take bets on how close the IP address is to A Plus headquarters?

That's how sick those pedophiles are. They really believe that the kids want it and that they are showing them love.

It could be 4 months straight of 3k miles per week and then one week of 2k miles and drivers will complain. :cool:

NY now suspends your license for every day that you don't have insurance. The suspension goes into effect on the day specified in the letter that they send you but the day for a day "punishment" doesn't start until you physically turn in your license at the DMV. They used to allow you to pay a...

The truck will still require a driver but it will limit how much attention is required on the open road.

The small things throughout the day certainly add up.

Anytime people fail to exercise responsible discretion the government will find a way to "fix" things. This woman knew what she was doing and I believe that she decided to sell her safety along with those around her for the almighty dollar.

I wasn't clear enough in what I meant. I am referring to the 1950's and 60's when blacks were able to be openly discriminated against. That's very recent history and we still have grandparents and parents alive that experienced it. The stories of the Civil Rights movement are still first person...

Aren't vans used as loss leaders? I believe the over saturation has turned them into a tool being used to open doors to gain more profitable business. The rates get pushed down because the big companies are trying to use them to gain business and the all van companies are just trying to remain...

That study isn't the opposite of what I believe, it's actually exactly what I expected. The stats prove that blacks are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime and that's not really a debatable point. The stats I used are based solely on race and that's what my comment was limited to...

Have you checked into adding Fox Sports 1 which has MMA fights? I would check with the LTL companies Moot mentioned because companies like UPS and FedEx do send drivers out in day cabs and they need to get a room. Car haulers are another good one to target.
