    Manufactured Oil price spike

    Why is every spring/Feb everyone freaks out about the rise of the cost of fuel? It arrives every year around this time of year when Refineries shut down to do maint and to start putting out the summer blends to replace the winter blends? There is some speculation because Akminidick wants to...

    I remember back in the day if a load was 2k or just over I would negotiate a 1/mile instead of the 77c/m now they call me and want to put 2400 on my van for reg rate. I bought tires that barely allow over 2k to solve that problem.

    Bolt vs Nations Express VS Load 1

    For Starters Nations will add a CV. I am aware that Load1 wants Sprinters. This was not a topic of what will a carrier put on or not I was asking for experiences with these companies. This is a good place to research about these companies independent from the recruiters. I have been in this...

    Commercial Vans Survey

    How about the maint not cost an arm and a leg for simple things like head lights and oil changes. I have no desire to buy a vehicle that is assembled from parts made in Europe due to the high exchange rates. A gas engine instead of diesel would also be nice.
