I've had several dish systems and by far the best one is Trac Star out of Orlando Florida. They have a nationwide network and have the fastest lock-on of any dish I've ever seen. They have a low profile unit that is smaller than a roof A/C unit, about 9 inches tall. There web address is...

When in doubt get the truck weighed. You will then know what you have to work with. Great question, we sometimes assume that evrything will work when in fact you may be buying someones screw up! Good luck and keep us posted how you make out.

First off a "permit license" won't cut it with any company. You can and will pass the test for a "B" license, don't worry, just be prepared. Second, income with a "D" team will be very strong and consistant. I would think you could gross in the 10 to 15000.00 dollar range monthly with out...

What are you after? What type of equipment are you wanting to run? Could use a little guidance here. Thanks for your inquire.

Back in 1984 I built a KW Aerodyne with a 120 inch sleeper behind it. It worked well and with the Argosy flat floor would be pretty cool as you would have the biggest and best of all worlds. You could easily have a 144 inch sleeper and 22 foot box and still be under the 40 foot nonsense length...

RE: Excited to get started in the Expediting Busin That is great news! Good luck and please let us know your impressions of the industry. And as always remember you have a lot of freinds at EO if you need anything. Drive safe and be profitable!

As far as the truck limitations go with GPS programs, you are correct you still need to observe low clearance restrictions. I'm sure you plan your trip with bridge heights in mind. NYC and Chicago are the prime examples of using all the resouces at hand. I've always relied on the height limits...

Wow, I'm sorry to hear of your frustrating situation. It's time to have a candid discussion with the owner of your company. If that person has the bullet proof wall around him or her go to the highest person in the food chain that you can access. Take the gloves off, and lay the cards on the...

Remember what you are looking at is actually a 40 foot length truck. Most are 22 foot boxes with at least a 5 foot sleeper, then add the truck cab. I think they look pretty cool, and there fun to drive. Good luck with your search.

I followed the flow and it looked good! I had trouble getting to contribute as my computer skills are worst than I thought! Maybe next time I'll be better equipped to participate! LOL!!

Sounds like this could be your next profession! It appears to be a perfect fit. I would suggest looking thru the forum past posts to get an idea of what is happening, then start contacting companies to see which one would work for your best interest. Please feel free to send your questions with...

It's funny you mention the car fax program as I have bought many cars from the rental companies with minor damage and there car fax report is clean. So when I go to sell the cars I do tell the potential buyer of the damage. The comment is the same because they ran the VIN and it came back clean...

I can only relay what my friends have told me. They all love it and have never said anything about the smoke smell. My freinds are all non-smokers and if it stunk they would tell me and never use or endorse the program again. I recommend, save money and be profitable as well as comfortable! If...

RE: WORKING THROUGH A TEMP AGENCY THAN FIRED FOR N Raceman is correct in a temp position no reason is needed, unfortunately. Are you living in a right to work state? You may want to contact your attorney, just to make sure you don't get a bad revue for your next job. Also contact your local...

Dreamer nail it. Also a "A" cargo van is able to carry 500 lbs. A "B" size van is in the 2 to 3000 lbs. category and a "C" unit typically needs to be able to load 5000 lbs. while a "D" is generally able to load up to 13,000 lbs, and the "E" unit would be a tractor trailer and should be able to...

That is correct, vehicles over 26000 lbs. are required to log all miles. Depending on the carrier I have heard that some do require logs for all specific straight trucks. Such as a "C" unit that may only weigh 17,000 lbs. and can easily transport the maximum load of 5000 lbs. and still be under...

RE: Any education tools -books-schools-people, rec I would try to get your hands on the "Business in Partners" a publication that Volvo sponsered. Good basic book keeping skills that will be of value to you. I would go back thru the "newbie" forum postings here or start asking away on the...

As far as I know if you can pass the pretrip test you can go forward and take the driving test, and recieve your CDL in a day. My daughter lives outside Atlanta and said that was her understanding. She has her "B" license and did it in a day. The only exception was the passing of the pretrip...

Sounds like you have a plan! Happy Holidays to you too!

The Carrier you were leased to has 45 days to give you your final settlement. Period. It's the law and they know it. Have you had any outstanding cargo claims, fuel taxes due, or any other items that could come back to haunt you? The law is on your side, except with these outstanding charges...
