I have a Garmin and it does offer you the option of putting in what type vehicle you are driving.

I agree with you Teacel. I regret to say that day will never come. There is endless supply of new drivers coming from all over the world, that are happy to be here and will not cause any problems. The major Co.'s know this,and that is why people are treated poorly. It is easier to get rid of an...

All caps do not bother me.

In your situation as described by your post. I would buy a van and stay with what you are doing if you continue to be profitable and like the work. The van will be easier to sell when you move on to flying. The van can also be used for personal use around town, so you may want to sell your...

RTS Credit Service can give you credit ratings on brokers. They offered recently a 90 day free trial to OOIDA members. "DO NOT HAUL CHEAP FREIGHT"

To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation. This has been nominated for the best email of 2005. The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was...

You will haul hazmat in B units and even have to Placard some loads.

In Kentucky a Class C License is needed if you want an endorsement such as Hazmat or you plan to haul 16 or more people in your vehicle including yourself, and your vehicle has GVWR of 26,001 or less [Van normal GVWR is 10,000 or less]. You may need to pass a written test to obtain your Class C...

I have a problem with hauling HazMat loads. I base my thoughts on hauling loads for Roberts & Fed Ex CC. A-Increased time when calling in to speak with dispatch must speak to a hazmat person. B-Min. pay bonus if I remember right $ 25.00 C-Increased work stopping more often to check tires...

Congratulations EO. I will look forward to attending in 2006. This will be my first time.

I do not have either problem with my Fords.

Not often if at all at truck stops. Join the YMCA and you will have ability to find a weight room. Many YMCA's will honor your membership from your local one.

RE: Should I get an authority and get my own load I agree with Teacel. Haul for your carrier and get more experiance.

I would contact a recruiter from one of the companies that support EO. They can tell you if they need owners operators or they may reccomend you to some one that needs a driver.

The way I read 396.17[a] of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations. "Every commercial motor vehicle shall be inspected as required by this section."

Most companies require an yearly inspection , some even require inspections more often.

Good Luck on your new venture. I hope market conditions change in the future so you may give it another go.

I agree with LBD a strike would hurt our image and would not help us in the long run. I am a member of OOIDA and they are the only organization I know of that represents O/O intrests. The dues are not that much and you are becoming a member of a vocal organizattion with lobbyists. The one...

I drove for them in 2001. I was happy driving with them. I left them after 9/11 because wife preferred me to be closer to home. If I hadn't started my own company I would of probally went back to them.

I hope this will give you some ideas. http://photos.yahoo.com/[email protected]/my_photos
