    Help Me Please

    This problem is addressed on this forum at least once a quarter and sadly enough, the result are nearly always the same. Without a written contract, the co-driver is left without payment. You said you were being trained, so consider your training in choosing a driver and obtaining a written...

    To Expedite Or Not To Expedite?

    Yes still in the van. Keep in mind that any recruiter vying for your attention will tell you they can keep you busy. However, define busy! There were any one or more of a dozen reasons why the lady with the truck leased to FedEx failed in her business. We don't know the reasons, but likely...

    To Expedite Or Not To Expedite?

    I totaly agree with MrGoodtude. You sound like a younger fella, perhaps mid 30's, that needs to be established in a profitable business rather than a meager existence operating a cargo van. Not to belittle cargo van O/O's, I've been one over 18 years, but the days of profitablity for a...

    new van driver here.

    Ask ten people; get ten answers. Here's my numbers for calendar year 2007: In service/available for dispatch, 74.07% Load acceptance, 71.10% Revenue, including FSC, per loaded mile, $1.26 Those are good numbers for a cargo van. Many folks do better and many worse. The real point...

    I miss the old layout!

    Mark: My computer illiteracy, a slow computer and an unfamiliarity of the new program had me pretty well frustrated in an attempt to navigate around the site on my first day. I'm now a believer in the new site as I've learned the ease of accessing many of the new features. You can achieve the...

    paid on the road?

    Miketango: The $52 to which we refer is a Standard Meal Allowance that applies only to transportation workers, including drivers, that are away from home long enough to require a rest before returning home. I divide my days in quarters but anything is acceptable as long as you are...

    paid on the road?

    The Standard Meal Allowance is still at $52 per full day away from home. You may use 75% of this figure as a Federal income tax deductable, which is up 5% from the 2006 tax year. For the 2008 tax year we'll be able to use 80% thereafter. If you go to Canada, you get a larger SMA

    RE: Someting New On "Is this a reasonable price fo Thanks Piper; you've said all that needs saying to Lugnut. He just refused to listen to some of our members who were honestly trying to render their truck specing/buying opinions as was requested. It seems he just wanted an audience for his...

    RE: Is this a reasonable price for this new truck? Lugnut: Is this a quiz or a request for advice/opinion? You come in with little information and a surly reponse to the follow-on questions. You could similarly describe identical features in both a Ford and a Mercedes without mentioning the...

    Bee: It sure looks like you are in denial of the possibility that your drivers are either hard of hearing or a little bit careless with the truth. The facts you already know are that Your driver accepted the oil change job as completed by the T/S when he paid and drove off; the engine failed...

    Help truck stop caused my truck to blow up

    Bee: Lawyers believe in money; if you have money they will believe in you. I think your best bet is to find a driver that understands how to properly operate a truck, not just drive it. Also, a driver that believes in treating your equipment as though it was his, or hers. You might be better...
