    Can a driverless truck do this in NYC? Asking for a friend.

    At this point they can't reliably avoid people in the middle of the lane, something that they should be able to do without issue. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    //// What are "reasonable" rates to charge ? ////

    When you go independent you have some other things to worry about that you don't now. You can't bid just what you get paid from the company now. If you do, you probably will go under sooner or later. Some of the brokers pay late. Some 30 days, some 60 days, some even 90 days. Do you have the...

    That thing looks huge. Is it by Omnitracs like the MCP200? Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    March of Load One

    It was gone by itself in a couple of hours. I am surprised how good of a job Tennessee does with clearing the roads. My only problem is that I live half a mile from the main road on a gravel road and it is a gentle uphill to the main road. First day after a big snow i'm fine, but after that it...

    Probably a leftover from Nations Express. I believe that they log though. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Question on pay

    I met a guy a few years ago in an under CDL straight and he could carry 8500 lbs. His box was either 16 or 18 feet long though, don't remember which. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Hows cargo van freight

    With a company that pays you per mile you will never know. I did loads that the company kept more money than they gave me, but also on occasions they paid me more than they got from the customer. Now I am with a company that pays percentage and when the rates go up my pay goes up. Sent from...

    Hows cargo van freight

    I had Progressive through CIS before but it was a bit more expensive and I had to pay it once yearly in advance to get that price. Then I found out that whoever Load One uses is a bit cheaper and they take it out of my settlement every week. I don't remember who they use, but that is what I have...

    Hows cargo van freight

    I don't know how much primary liability and cargo insurance is since Load One pays for those, but my non trucking liability and physical damage cost me $19.x a week. This is on a 2004 Freightliner M2. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    It depends what company you want to lease it on with. Some will take older trucks, some won't. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Do You Think You’ve Benefited From The ELD Mandate ?

    I only have 2 months shy of 2 years in the straight,and this year has been way stronger than last year. I don't know if it is related to the ELD mandate. BTW, I know a few people that are still holding on to their paper logs until the last minute. I'm curious what they will do when they install...

    Do you have a Sam's account? If you do, Sam's Master Card by Synchrony Bank offers 5% back on gas at any gas stations except Costco, but they have a limit of $6000 yearly.

    I'm like you, Griz. I have a bunch of credit cards that give different rewards for different things, but I haven't carried a balance since 1998 I believe. All cards get paid off at the end of the month. I have a few that offer 5% on gas, but they have a limit. PenFed used to be 5% back for gas...

    OTR Big Truck O/O thinking about van expiditing..

    I've done it all, started with a TT, got into a van, now in a straight. Right now I believe the straight is the happy medium. With the TT I was too much restricted to the truck stops. With the van I made very good money before everybody and their mother bought a van. With the straight I run as...
