    Did you get this load from ATL? I did a shortie but fattie yesterday, then I did another one not too long that delivered in AL. I was going to go home but I got another call from ATL to Cattanooga for this morning. Week ended for me but it wasnt bad at all. About 90 miles deadhead home and OOS...

    Absolutely 100% not this guy's fault. United screwd the pooch big time and they will pay dearly for it. And I hope heads will roll also. What did this guy do wrong? Nothing whatsoever. He purchased a ticket, showed up on time, was boarded, sat in his seat. See, United has one of it's biggest...

    Consignee rejected load because seal was missing.

    If it is food, or food related stuff, like cereal boxes, etc, it needs to be sealed. In your situation, I dont know. It's either you or the shipper at fault. Most likely you. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Our Life on the Road Expediting Service Failure

    In my opinion, if your truck breaks down it is your fault. You agreed to deliver the load by a certain time and you did not because of your equipment. It might not be fair since some break downs you can't do anything about, but life is not fair either. Now, if a driver does not communicate, it...

    The only way OVM will stay home is if the Sprinter dies. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Itemizing fuel and repairs has always been less for me than the mileage deduction, so I've always done the mileage and per diem. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Big Truck I have noticed 10 years is the maximum age truck

    I delivered and picked up so far at Chrysler, Ford and Toyota in my 2004 and nobody complained. I prefer not to go to some of these plants anyway, but I won't say 'no' to money. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Occupational accident insurance

    FedEx used to have a plan that cost a certain percentage of the gross. As a vanner I chose that and it worked great. When I didn't work I didn't pay anything. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    2015 Ford Transit Maintenance Costs

    The one on the sprinter doesn't look anywhere near like this one. This one looks like an afterthought. I'm sure it does the job in the event the driveshaft falls off for whatever reason, but ... Anyways... Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Wow, such a patch work. They should be ashamed of themselves for coming up with such a thing. Is the giubo cracking again? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    So you're looking to buy a truck...

    The problem is that it is hard to find a mechanic like you. Many years ago I went to a dealership for some reason and a guy brought a car in for a prepurchase inspection. He put the car up on the lift, had a form in his hand and he was just checking off stuff on the form without checking...

    Big Truck What to look for in a used straight Truck for solo or?

    There are numerous other companies besides Panther. You could try calling them. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

    Big Truck What to look for in a used straight Truck for solo or?

    Drive for an owner for 6 months at least and see if it is something you would like to do. Some people cannot adapt to the expediter life style. Then if you decide to stay, you can buy a truck and continue. While running someone elses truck, run it like it is your own, keep track of the expenses...

    Congratulation! So, how did she take the test? Rented truck? I missed it if you mentioned it before.

    Looking for Carrier that will take on a 06 Sprinter

    I believe the 'dream on' part was about the rate he wants to run at. It ain't happening, unfortunately. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
