It may depend on where Kg2149 lives. In Cambridge Maryland. A city with unemployment over 11%. When a local employer held a two day "Job Fair" to work in a plant removing Blue Crab meat from the said Crab. Seven persons were hired. No one wanted to do the menial labor involved.:D

My apoligizies if I have misunderstood. Some one else pays Insurance, Fuel, it's their rig your driving. Sounds as if your driving for a Fleet owner.

I would think, in this business or any other you need to be honest, with what ever you Fleet owner you decide to drive for. Which would include honoring the contract between your self & the Fleet owner. As in having some kind of understanding, that if your unhappy you just don't park his rig and...

It will have to be trial & error. My van doesn't have RPM indicator or Cruise control. 60 - 62,3 MPH gets my best milage. In the Van & also a 1999 F 250 super duty 6 speed which has cruise control.

Please forgive my Ignorance. Could someone explain the meanings for - UCRs, KYUs, NM, D&S factors, IFTA, IRP. Thank you for your indulgence.

Good for you! Hope you exceed you expectations.

It sounds similar to a Wal Mart business model. Move into a Rural area. Drive the locals out of business. Then increase your prices gradually. With no competition, shoppers are lead to believe they are getting the cheapest price. Plus at Wal Mart you get what you paid for. Buy CHEAP get CHEAP goods.

Couldn't you Google "Lease Purchase"?. Bearing in mind you REALLY need an Attorney who specializes in Lease Purchase contracts to reveiw ANY contract you may enter into.

There's not a whole lot better eating then a plate full of thin pork chops. Burned to a crisp & cold so they pop off the bone.

I went last year. It was enjoyable. Lot's of rigs, plenty of free bee's.

#1. I sincerely hope "sdelliott31" gets his health & business back. In that order. Although I personally feel he tried to get to big (17 Vans) too soon.

"Please use the other four fingers" you were getting a "Thumbs" up.

If you have the time & are so inclined. Go back a year or two. In most case's, it's always someone Else's fault.:D

Hasn't Bolt Express been the fastest growing Expedited carrier three of the last four years?. Or something close to it. Seems Tri State must have really given up a lot of Business for that to happen.

As far as Mail being lost or missing. I have had mail never delivered\lost going East & coming to me from the East coast. When I complained to a Postal Inspector, he told me there are many problems with any mail going through Indianapolis. Then I send a certified letter from Mo. to Dallas Texas...

Someone is making money on Freight being shipped. The higher costs in a Grocery store can no longer be laid off on high Diesel. Last June a 1lb box of store brand dog biscuits were $.99 in the two stores where I shop. Now there $1.95 in one store & $1.89 in the other.

OOIDA offers a Back haul service for $17.95 a month to it's members. Haven't a clue if it would work for Vans.

This is just a thought on my part. Would this site be "FREE" to us, the members, if there were no paying Advertisers?. Personally, I like the folks at Bolt. If the rate is unacceptable refuse it.
