    Nissan NV van

    Hopefully Nissan comes out with an extended version. I really like the idea of the engine sitting out further when it comes to working on it or just performing routine maintenance. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Looking For Sprinter Van Loads "Please Help"

    I wouldn't sign on with them without looking for complaints or a company that would be a better fit for someone trying to learn the industry. I've never heard of them which doesn't make them bad but it would be a big red flag on whether or not you will get paid what you are owed. Some of these...

    Well I might be running my van again. Either my wife and I will or I might try to find someone for it. I am getting ready to start a business that would cause a conflict of interest with my current situation so I wanted to use the van to provide a little income. Like you I don't want my business...

    MAY LOCATIONS Mayday Mayday Mayday

    I'm not far away. I just left my house in Utica and I pickup just south of Albany and a short run over to East Providence, RI. When I was in a CV the loads came out of the Syracuse, NY area. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Landstar question

    If you have some straps that would work you might be able to pickup some partial flatbed loads. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Super Single Tire Pressure

    Running at 85 seems low and that it would hurt MPG but the manufacturer is probably looking at tire wear only. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    On the road again

    I did specify Landstar would be for an experienced team, definitely not the best even for experienced people that aren't familiar with the freight business. You also know people that stayed at Landstar that made more, I have met some myself. Keep in mind when you make twice the $/mile you can...

    On the road again

    The right company is a tough call because it depends on the individual and their skill set. A rookie team might fair better at the Fed where an experienced team that wants more freedom or to run things as more of a business would do better with the Landstar system.

    Showers

    I'll have to give you one of my extra TA/Petro cards. I spend to much money there so my showers never expire and I always have 7-10 on it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Is my cost and cost per mile in the Ball Park?

    More than what it costs you to run the trip. I don't know that there is anyone that could give a solid answer to that question because you are getting involved in a different market. I would start by finding out what the competition charges, possibly with a few fake loads. I would check what an...

    Air conditioning?

    I would suspect the valves are the issue then since it appears the compressor is working. A quick system pressure check will help confirm it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    Is my cost and cost per mile in the Ball Park?

    Short runs typically pay considerably more per mile than longer runs so you should be well above $1.50/mile. The big issue will be getting shippers/brokers to work with you since you have a new number. The ones that are eager to work with you may have a history of not paying so I would run...

    Stuff happens

    Me too. The call into your company that you just parked inside someone's home would not be fun not to mention dealing with the homeowner that just had a drive thru installed. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums mobile app

    What's wrong with this thinking?

    There is a reason for it and it's not as though I called her an idiot and left it at that. I pointed out that the constant posting of biased articles as proof of something is pointless, the same has been done to other members here when it's Fox News. Sent from my SCH-I535 using EO Forums...
