Don't take a load to a known slow area unless it: A: covers 4 day's of fixed expense's plus op cost for the load. B: load pays enough to relocate to a better area, at full op. cost and you have the hours to do it, of course not a problem for teams. C: goes by the house and I want hometme...

NO!! I usually agree with you Greg, but not on this one. I won't book a van load for .70. Rather find a better paying load, I would say you could find something else to take that .70 load with, but in a van it is difficult to find just one more piece going in the same direction or fit it in...

Why is the light required on the tag ONLY when on the rear?? Makes no sense cause if the light is there to illuminate the tag so someone can see it, wouldn't the front need it to in the dark?? I guess in the dark whats on the front tag must not be important, even if you only have 1...

That's right the DOT officer ain't gonna write the shipper a ticket, The driver is ALWAYS responsible for his/hers equipment/load. If you leave the yard without the placards YOU get the ticket, shipper supply YOU the wrong placards YOU get the ticket. Its ALWAYS YOU!!

Thank you for being honest about the flat rate program. I figured there were hidden downsides that eventually would be brought to light. Good luck with LS I am sure you will do well there once you learn there system.

Were you at the service plaza on I-95 just south of exit 10 Tuesday night?? If so that was me in the van 3 spots down on your right, I dropped in Stamford Wed. a.m. then to JFK to load.

I know of one that "specialize" in loading sprinter style units with C truck freight. 3400# in a sprinter, I just roll my eyes when I see stuff like that posted.

Stay out of the midwest, Panther has the freight to keep u moving as a team str8. The midwest was good for you as a solo do to HOS, but now that you are a team the whole US and Canada (when you co-driver gets qualified) is open for business. Being from Buffalo means you ain't skeered of the...

Oh my, you have much to learn.... who sold you that B.S.:rolleyes:

1st post you said you ran 1200 STRAIGHT THRU!!

You don't carry chains in your van?? I have a total of 3 in mine, and have used them a couple of times out west and in some customers parking lots.

Wow you must really be hungry. Even if that is .70 plus a small fsc. Time to hold out for them sprinter loads. Work for yourself not them.

Don't want a limiter on your truck don't go to ONT. or QC. Its that simple. Stay in the U.S. I am not for limiters. I was commenting to the fact that 65 was not fast enough for him. I live in the U.S. so I don't know what you are getting at with your second line. And them cars do go...

I don't know about some of these other vanners, but I charge more to move my van than some of these D & E units get paid at some of these carriers. My minimum rate for a van is what a TL carrier charges to move there customers freight including FSC. If the customer wants it moved in a timely...

Depending on your 04 arrest you may not of aloud to be in Canada. Also your carrier should of told you to tell customs about it "only" if asked. If you were asked and did not bring it up and they found it then you were viewed as trying to hide it. That and a few other reasons will get them to...

Because to many drivers out here have PDS (Pedal Down Syndrome). Them steering wheel holders (most large company employed class A drivers) believe they are not getting anywhere unless there foot is planted on the floor roaring down the road up against the governor at 62-68mph. These drivers...

This is true.. only these two

I think ONT. & QC. drivers are the worst offenders of this. Every where else up north they seem to drive more responsibly.

How true. I personally know a few BCO's and all of them feel this way about the influx of potential contractors. These BCO's are some of the most professional business owners in this industry.
