    Why expedite if you have a CDL?

    Exactly. Unless you are debt free and you have a paid for van.

    Well, I was on my way to pickup a sweet load....lol It cancelled. Coulda happened for a number of reasons. Ironically, I watched the move "falling down" with Michael Douglas in it last night. How I can so relate to the character in that movie....lol..

    Staying busy is always a good thing. Staying moving while getting paid garbage rates is not a good thing.

    Why I always replace my belt, belt tensioner, and idler pulley with new Motorcraft every year, and keep the old ones in the van in case of failure. A 1/2 drive ratchet, and a 10mm socket and extension is all it takes to do this 10 minute job. I usually end up finding a van driver who has a Ford...

    I'm a numberaholic, but have my own made paper sheets that I use since 1989. No hackers. No crashing computers. Plain, simple. My tax guy loves them.

    Van Expediting=$$$$

    People can worry themselves to death over things like this. I dont get worked up over how many vans leave the truckstop that I'm in. Or who went where. Maybe they got a load. Maybe they went to see a movie. Maybe they went to Walmart. I do know that I am content with my pay where I am at. Sure...

    Yea, I get that. I was just making a general statement. My bad for not saying that. But the new scanner is pretty quick.faster than a fat kid going down on a seesaw. I'm guessing it's coming through clear. No phone calls from admin yet.

    To me, that "all mile" pay rate is the important number. I had a friend tell me they turned down a load because there were too many empty miles to get the load. I responded by saying, "who cares how many empty miles there are to get a load, as long as the all mile pay is satisfactory ".

    That J sucks for 2 reasons. The un-level parking lot, and the huge amount of bobtails that park upfront.

    I bought this Samsung Galaxy Note 9 from Best Buy a few months ago. So far, love it as much as my old Galaxy Note 4 that it replaced. I love it. Incredible battery life, And super fast charging. Huge memory. A fast phone. A ton of load offers, but no secured loads yet. I have a feeling that...

    Cargo Van GMC van maintenance

    I know of a few people who had that engine/ transmission combination and have had lack of power, reliability issues. The transmission would be always upshifting/downshifting to compensate for the lack of power that the engine had trouble producing. Great for around town, but OTR, a 6.0 engine...

    Uninstalled. Reinstalled. Now what? ...lol..guess I'll have to wait for a load offer to see what happens. Heading home in the meantime. I can make better use of my time than sitting in a truckstop.

    No. It disappeared the moment the robocall came through. The visual offer was nowhere to be found. Why cant we see the load info even after the call? Why does it have to disappear after we accept the load offer? I understand that the load info wouldn't be that important to someone who would...

    Im not even getting the screen offer part. I get the robocall. It does show a L1 icon up top, as if there is a load offer message, but when I drag it down nothing appears. As far as the time issue on the app, I even called Samsung and they were in my phone checking everything and they said it...

    Not that it matters, but im guessing it was a lease to own agreement.

    Nothing better than a clean van. Igmfound a great self serve wash in Howell. Ready for the warm sunshine and warm temps tomorrow. I had to laugh, as the weathergirl on t.v. this morning stated that we are in a "snow drought"....lmao. The kind of drought I'll gladly take. And why does the...
