Definitely a rough start. But.... it's January and they are leased to a company that sticks to their rates. That's a tough call when it's slow, but overall, you'll learn to appreciate it.

I don't know this for sure, but I think you'll find a lot more hot shot work in Houston than expedite. Lots of oil/gas field supplies moving about down there. Just a pickup can even get some business.

Guido....buddy..... your startin to worry me just a little bit. Call Jeremy, get a comcheck....there's a boystown down there somewhere :D :thumbup:

Wow, sometimes I think I'm too tough on other forum members....you guys are brutal.

If it starts raining, please get inside. Guido can't handle anymore of the "raining women" stories.

C&M is one of the best carriers in the business. You'll likely do well with them if you can tough it out through the slow months. There are probably 5 carriers, or less, that I would consider leasing to in the expedite industry. C&M would be on that list of 5...actually pretty close to the top.

This is the answer to your question. The Sprinter you describe is not a vehicle that most of us would consider as an expedite vehicle. As someone else mentioned, it has all the regulatory limitations of a straight truck while not offering any of the advantages of a straight truck.

90% of them are likely running illegal and under the radar. Some will have a 10,000 or less gvwr, but Im guessing that most dont. It will catch up sooner or later.

Pictures? I don't see no pictures? :D

The problem with that info on the 2012's is that not many of them have enough miles on them to know yet. It will be at least a couple of years before anyone can answer that question accurately.

You will legally be in the commercial vehicle category with all the fun things that come with it...logbooks, dot #, scales, etc. I'm sure that there are many people running such vehicles under the radar....just remember that if you do get checked, it won't be pretty. Only way you could legally...

+1 .... seriously, get it straight from Panther, then you'll know for sure...not second hand.

The fm adapter I linked to is for the external receiver also. It's cheap and works great. You still have full fm signal for local stations and very little interference when listening to sirius/xm. I do like the antennae removal trick though. Its a cheap/quick solution...especially if you don't...

Yeah.....well.... that don't take much? :D :runs for the door:

Not trying to be mean, but you need to search and read some more. Turtle has explained everything your asking about at length in a couple threads. I couldn't repeat it if you held a gun to my head...lol.

They do work great. I got mine at a truckstop.... a TA maybe? Can't remember. Plenty of them online also...here's one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000OY5CSW

I know nothing about them other than what I've read on here. I would assume that nothing has changed...especially if others are telling you the same thing now. Once you've ran the load...and the money doesn't show up... it's a little too late to say "no" at that point.

Show me the money!! :D

He likely didn't hear it until it was too late. Personally, I wish we had more of those types of loads...as long we are compensated well for the accessorials. I would imagine that these companies who run that kind of freight a lot get a little chuckle every time they broker a load out to a...

The most important thing to do after delivering to Laredo is be sure you get plenty of rest. Sleep good at night and take a nap during the day if you can. Because, when you do get a run, it's likely to be a long one.
