    With NO offence meant to anyone, there are some scary truck drivers out in the world. Expediters by the nature of their job may not shave (the males) or shower as often as the 9-5 office worker. To say anyone can walk into their employers office, work zone, dispatch, pay roll what ever and not...

    Club Membership

    You would need to read "Land Line" to see what OOIDA does for truckers. Members or not there are lots of O\O who have benifited from OOIDA. See JR? England Trucking for one. England paid out a fair amount of money to O\O when their Lease program was found to be less then what it was supposed to be.

    Is a van a CMV

    I believe it varies from State to State. In Ct. you can register a pick up or Van as a regular vehicle, or a combonation vehicle or a commercial vehicle.

    Thinking about a return to the biz

    The Van driver from Panther "netting" $48,000 must be the same driver we were told about in Panther orientation in 2007. A retired school teacher who was making $60,000 then. I doubt if you will find anyone here claiming the $48,000.00 figure as "Net"
