    Multi Carrier

    Will you agree that most people chasing money are doing the multi thing ? And, if you pick three carriers that increases your odds of picking a bad carrier.

    Multi Carrier

    So you want to do multi so you can have multiple people lie to you and play with your money??? Find one legitimate carrier and sign on with them. Thinking of legitimate carriers, did everyone’s favorite Irishman fall off his barstool? I don’t remember hearing of him lately.

    In 1972, Al Jones Delivery Service ran a similar style operation. They had a terminal next to our shop. One day he had five rental trucks. I said Al, what’s up ? He told me he didn’t have money to buy license plates. He took the plates off the rental trucks and put them on his trucks. He...

    Call the general. Really, any insurance company that will write you you probably wouldn’t want.

    Why expedite if you have a CDL?

    I was very fortunate to usually have top-tier jobs. Union driver making $50,000 in the late 70’s. Union driver making $76,000 in the mid 90’s. Union O/O making big bucks for 10 years. Then TVAL/ AA&E team in a straight. There is good money in TT but harder to find. Tougher with reduced...

    Why expedite if you have a CDL?

    Not all van drivers work cheap or live like a homeless person. But many do.

    Why expedite if you have a CDL?

    I logged for 42 years. Probably averaged $60,000 in wages. Possibly more. That’s $2,520,000 from Trucking. Sadly, I paid maybe $40,000 in Union dues. Never put OOS for logs., It was a PIA. So is working cheap and living like a homeless person. Very legitimate question.

    Cargo Van I have no idea how I got here but this is neat.

    I’d contact Trump, the local trucking company with the black trucks, ( Trump Card?) Orange Courier (300 Drivers) with the white trucks, or put in a rear seat and windows if needed. Theres also a very large overnight//courier service that pretty much covers Ca. Thier name escapes me.

    Chicken tax

    That’s exactly why the Suburu Brat had those stupid plastic seats in the pickup type bed area. To avoid the chicken tax.

    Sorry to hear about the cat.

    Almost ready for the road.

    I’d be suspect of the motive behind a driver deciding today, of all days, that he wants to move to Canada, and stay there. Looking for HIGHER rates are ya ??

    //// Rough stats for our first 42 Days OTR (through 9-25-18) ///

    Two of my last loads were for Load 1. At $2 all miles. But I knew I had them by the short hairs. Needed 10 loads covered on weekend in an out of the way place I happened to be in. Then needed pickup by 4 . Similar place, and it was long after lunch. It was nice. I think both loads would...

    $1.99 is a DECENT rate ? Although I’ve heard rates are pretty good now, I doubt many dry trucks are doing $1.99 ALL MILES. Am I wrong?

    October 2018 What nots and other stuff

    On Oct 20 Arby’s will serve a Duck sandwich in 16 locations. None in Michigan. Looks like Rags and LOS should do a road trip. I’m sure it’d be a trip.
