That is the only way it's worth it (my opinion) Certs are useless on their own without a requirement to use them But ask yourself do you want to compete on price with freight anyone off the street is allowed to deliver, or do you want authority to be one of the only individuals available...

Huh? Hauling more weight under 10,000 has been solved; a Promaster is about 4200 lb curb and a 3500 can take 3 skids Why I said "huh" I'm trying to understand why you would want to haul 6 empty pallets What is the question, how to haul 6 skids while the truck stays unregulated? Even if they...

:) Missed that No it probably had more to do with the 9 years I drove a route at 74c Canadian a mile. Today for example, that's 55c usd Taught me quite a bit living on that I still use today

Yeah I'm 48 now and while not ancient I was really looking forward to spending less time on my back in the dirt I actually visited one recently (a week waiting for appointment, but he has a propane certification on his Class A mechanic license and I have a reason to need verified licensed...

I never did see the reason to include mechanics. Thank you for letting me know I'll also save time no matter how long it takes me. Mechanics are full here too with appointments a week or two out. Sounds good to relax while somebody else deals with it, until you try...

I am such an owner now started to make a detailed answer, but why Work for a carrier a few years to get minimum required experience then try again.

Tractors obviously have more to choose from At this point I'm having difficulty with $2 a mile in an E250 You guys that are looking should probably take a job; tractor or sprinter van; and let the economy tell you which way it's going Or, do what you want (you will anyway) and provide me a...

Thank you! :laughing:

Confirmed north of the border I have only 3-4 days a week now as opposed to 7 days most of last year Of course I changed nothing when I had my highest grossing year in history, I've been in this long enough to see multiple crashes Oh. I changed one thing. I bought another van to trade off...

I just did my per mile gross, and I was a little disappointed it came out at $1.58 usd Until I realized that includes empty miles :innocent: There's enough information on this website to even figure out how to make it on 60 cents per mile, although I don't recommend it. Fuel alone right now...

Merry Christmas everybody!!! :D

You have a Class A CDL and have driven fuel tankers for 17 years. Running for $1 a mile isn't profitable. So you already have your answers in the question Run Hazmat only loads in a van. It's no $1 a mile One CAUTION: you mentioned a "van payment" just, no. Cash only or forget it. And try...

I made my money, but for libertarian types, everyone capitulating to regulation is a real disincentive If I'm going to pay tax on each trade...well, we have had conventional investments for hundreds of years Moving cash? Report transactions over $10,000 Moving crypto? $300 Good luck

Anybody that isn't already cashed out, your future is in the hands of those that bow to government regulation I am. 100% Crypto was never supposed to be about the "powers that be" it was supposed to be about the power of the individual. If it's going to be this way, we already have something...

Just picked up 460 miles at $1.80 usd a mile - 3 light skids Usually I take total pay and divide by miles if I care. I keep fuel costs per mile, but I bought current van in 2016 ($2900) and the cost keeps going down per mile... Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

Where's your DOT, Hazmat, radioactive and TWIC? You have a cargo heater so you can do protect-from-freeze or even a reefer? I still read the odd message from this forum; I've given up trying to state the obvious (doing what everyone else can do will always have you competing with the lowest...

https://www.trucknews.com/business-management/tfi-international-buys-ups-freight-in-800m-blockbuster/1003148427/ Guess I'll have all the weird outlier deliveries I can handle going forward (I'm under the Transforce umbrella)

Did get it back together. Leaked worse than before. I have to work on my double flares... Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

If anybody is on the edge of their seat, yes I got it out. Yes I split the u joint off without removing the steering column. No the wife didn't want to wait for me to finish it today Have to match up some brake hoses to replace the small steel lines that rusted out (my leak. Not the rack. But...

Thank you Google. The lower part of the shaft is actually removable. Never seen that documented anywhere, as they force you to buy a whole column...
