    Expediting Virgin Here

    Just be careful about leasing a truck from the same entity that controls your income. There are carriers that make a good buck from leasing the same vehicle to multiple drivers only to cut off your funds before your lease is up. That is assuming a lease to own situation. That's not to say there...

    Fuel for Thought Time For A Change

    I've had a couple liftgate loads so far. But haven't used it yet. 1st one required it, but didn't need it, 2nd cancelled and got TONU. Without it, I wouldn't have been considered for those 2 loads though.

    Solo: Van vs Straight Truck

    A solo OO in a straight is doable. I did quite well for a few years in a single axle 22ft straight. Just last week I had a liftgate installed (been looking for one for some time). Found a good used liftgate to add to my straight truck. You don't have to get everything all at once. Get a good...

    Used. It's a 2013 model. Well under half the cost of a new one.

    I got it in Forest Park, GA @ Forest Park Tractor Trailer Service. It's a galvanized Waltco HLF 30 with an aluminum platform. Weight is TBD. I just had it installed last week and have yet to fill tanks , put my equipment back on board and weigh the truck to compare. I will post weight here...

    20 or 22ft Box for Straight Trucks?

    Width is also a factor. A 102" vs 96" . With a 102 you can turn skids and get more on the floor.

    EO App on Android

    Anyone else have trouble with the EO app on Android? It started today 2/18/17. When I open the app, after the advertisement, it wants me to log in. I am already logged in. Then, if I don't log in(hit the back button) or put in my password, the screen just stays with the loading circle and no...

    IRS Form 1099

    Landstar sends a 1099 via USPS and it is also available online. It would seem with "other" compensation throughout the year, not just "freight", that you should still get a 1099. Unless any extras like waiting time, loading or unloading, fsc, layover, etc. all fall into the same category.
