My tax person in NJ has under contract over 50 trucking companies 1 truck and larger he has been dealing with for 30+ years and upon his advice I incorporated and so far the tax benefits and personal liability protection has been a valuable tool. This is my first year incorporated and it has...

My house and cell lines are registered with donotcall thus ending all nuisance calls. Now all the calls I get are $5 a mile load offers...LOL

There wouldn't be many loads even ltl's you wouldn't qualify for with a unit like that. Parking space would almost be the same as a d unit. With Landstar any unit over 32’ is considered E unit plus we are able to negotiate rate on every load. Makes life much easier as it lessens some of...

Driving a D unit Eastern portion of Maryland I’ve gotten good loads also in Baltimore/Washington area including Richmond, VA, Trenton, NJ and Harrisburg, PA.

I had a guy who was going to build a removal able rack attached to back to truck when I needed those 3'in box so far no final plans. The rack can be taken apart and stored in tool box under box.

Always made a few passes through the lot just to get drivers thinking that there more ways to enjoy down town. At next Expo maybe have a motorcycle display?

You got me salivating for more toasted frosted pop-tarts.

I'll take some and then ask for help geting them up here.

Yeah, US 129 "The Dragon". Go for it!

I keep a 1982 Yamaha XT 550 at the front of my 22’ dry box for enjoyment during down time. January I started storing bike in box figuring I would get runs in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and other parts of the country with WARM WINTERS...

Landstar Express America pays an additional $200.00 for any pick-up or delivery within the 5 Boro's. Personally I have no problem with runs in NYC though Friday going to JFK can be difficult. Only had a few runs into Canada when I was a driver for O/O leased with FedEx CC had to deadhead out...

You got that right and I can't wait to get back on the road to do more of the same.

With Landstar Express America I usually get $150 additional for use of liftgate. During the last 6 months 90% of my runs included liftgate. Now the previous 3 months I only had need for it 10% of runs. If I was getting another truck it would also be a used one with liftgate and generator...

I suggest you contact the settlement department with Panther and ask them to explain charges also best way to eliminate future charges. Bookkeeping is not my strong suit so I contacted Landstar settlement department they explained process clearing up my concerns.

Glad to see you're reading previous posts I know it assisted me quite a bit. Always have seen a good number of vans around the northeast leading one to believe they are doing okay. I was told by the first O/O I drove for that a solo driver best freight lane was a within a triangle Boston down...

Are you an O/O or a driver? Are you leasing trailer? If O/O can't see where 1.00-1.10 would allow one profit unless accepting load just to get to better freight area.

RE: Which of these carriers are the best one to wo I would recommend you search previous posts concerning all companies you listed or maybe expand that list then figure which one will best suit your needs. I’ve been with Landstar driving a D unit since January and have been thoroughly...

Van, straight truck or tractor each will pay differently. Driving a D unit I wouldn't accept a run paying $1.00 to $1.10 unless I was desperate to get into a better freight lane area.
