I'm not sure how that rates to used 2008's. I'm guessing it's a good deal though. Just make sure ya realize you're prolly in the ballpark of a $700 payment & maybe $350 insurance. So ya need to make $1500/month (figuring the gas to get that $1050 included) before you get to see anything for...

ok, I'll show lack of humor, complete dufasness (if that's a word) & actually answer what he meant in his original post. I can not top the replies already given. The last time around I basically sat there & was bored. Occasionally I'd do something in the town I was in. Occasionally...

Mile Marker 60. If you're coming north Ya have until exit 59 to get off a 8 Mile Road. Obviously you're pushing it as I've got to believe traffic will be bottlenecked by that time. If you're heading Southbound ya can go to 696 & I'd think traffic would flow just fine.

Hey all, I'm not sure if this has been tried or not. I realize fuel prices are down from last year, but it's still a pretty large % of our operating budget. What was wondering if anyone was interested in starting a thread of where they filled up & how much it was per gallon. Say on Thurs...

Sorry Doug, there's no way you can put something like that up & not have people think something political. As to what Cheri said, in terms of numbers of recipients yes there are more who receive that are handicapped, elderly, etc. In terms of $$$ spent though, there's a LOT more corporate...

I think in addition to this the Pittsburgh Steelers should have to give up a Super Bowl Title to the Detroit Lions. It's not Detroit's fault that they got stuck w/ Matt Millen, William Clay Ford & those types of clowns while Pittsburgh has had quality ownership, generally good drafts, &...

Hi Gilligan, In the van end of things, there isn't enough $$ to support two seperate entities. Meaning 2 familes or what have ya. So there's really no sense in driving someone elses van unless it's a father/son type arraingement. As for your own purchase. I'd be real hesitant on getting a...

Hey Dakota, I worked for Ceva back when it was EGL. I'm sure there's been some changes but I'd have to think many things are similar. On the getting back home. Yea, you're prolly w/ a 1 way company. The only way any of those other stations are going to get you a run is if their own...

I'm not new in the sense of never having done this before. I am new in the sense that it's been awhile since I've been on the road. So in that sense I guess I'm an experienced newbie. My initial thought is it's tougher than I recall. A very small sampling here for sure but so far I'm...

I've talked to one company who's paying .40. Ouch. In addition to having your van paid off, ya have to run almost 0 deadhead. Gas at the moment is .15/mile. At the same time, there are people out there making it. So someone's doing something right. Maybe they'll chime in on this post.

If this is true, then so much for the honesty. That's the kind of thing that would hack me off. My biggest burn was when a recruiter (not Transtewart) told me that the reason their company was lower paying was because they paid the first $40 every night for a hotel. Sounded good to me. So I...

Hey Jeff, Yuppers. Still in Flint. I'm not so much wanting local work this time around. I feel like a dufas, but last go around I never knew about the comforts some of these trucks had. I knew about the bed, but wasn't aware of the fridge, micro, tvs, etc. Also, back then internet...

No. Not much of a sample size for me since I've been signed on w/ one company for about a week & another for a few days here. No runs from either of em though. Had a bid on one, but we didn't get it. When they told me they were bidding on it I figured I'd know in 10 minutes. Amazing at...

Hi Leo, I actually am doing a lot of homework. That's what these Q's are for. To give me ideas, stuff to think about that I'm missing, etc. So far a lot of good info. A ST owner PM'd me after one of the posts & we talked. He was telling me about 2 runs/week & his mega payment not being...

dang, I didn't know patridges weighed that much. Thanx for the heads up.

The $16 would then come off the next run yes. Plus of course any miles he went on the next one. But also, like Dennis said, this only applies to an owner/operator. Whoever owns the van gets the write off. I missed the part about driving for someone. That's one reason why drivers of...

Sort of. You wouldn't make a profit as in get a refund. Lets say you had a 100 mile paid run w/ 100 miles of DH. The run pays $1.00 mile w/ no DH pay. That's $100. He's driving 200 miles, so he gets .58 per mile as a write off. That's $116 he gets to take off his taxes. So he shows a...

ok, some good answers.. Sorry I wasn't more specific. Yes I was referring to say a 14 foot cube van under 10K GVW. so I'm getting this for comfort & there's not going to be more runs or anything. I'll take a lot of B runs & just get 11MPG rather than 18. I'm fine w/ that. If I want...

Has anyone used this site? It says it's $50/month. If it gets ya 1 load it would seem to be worth it. I'm not sure how ya get paid & such. What % you'd get & so on. I kinda got lost in the navigation of it. Wondering if anyone has used it & what level of success have they had.

They're paying cargo vans 40-70 cents/mile. That's a bit lower than I can afford to run at. I have a hunch there'd be a lot of 40 centers in there. The flip side is the guy seems pretty honest. They pay after each run rather than once a week if ya get your paperwork in. They don't have...
