How good can this be when most owners pay 60% to the drivers that have to pay fuel and tolls? This is going to be brought up so maybe you can explain it now so the newbie’s have an understanding of the 8% difference. We do know 2% is in the savings account.

RE: Add me to list of people who got screwed at we HOW DID YOU GET SCREWED???? If I recall a while back when you first started to post on the site and ask about an Authority someone questioned you about the type you had. Right? I think you posted that you were confused. Right? Then either in...

I agree with you 100% Weave! Seams like this Expedite Solutions, is yet another one cashing in on the good old American trucking industry. You got-a love the name!!! Like they’re the best thing to white on rice. Sounds to me like they are taking advantage of the people that don't know very much...

They fixed the voting machines in Florida!!!

I would say yes you are very wrong. A standard skid is 40x48 and that is only one. A van is as you said 96x66. So how can you put 4 40x48 skids in a 66x96 space? 99.9% of the skids people ship on is a standard skid. In fact a standard skid will not even fit in a 3500 sprinter, without elevating...

If you can fit 4 skids in a 3500 Chevy van you are a hellofa guy. Unless you plan to put 2 on the roof, and you talk about a bunk too?

Did anyone follow up with their tickets?

At 300,000 plus miles you are doing a bit under the average life of the GM fuel pump expectancy. An average GM fuel pump will last in the range of 100K to 150K. On my 2002 GM van I replaced the first one at 140K and now have 220K on the van and am still on the second fuel pump. On my 2000 GM van...

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it! Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire! Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to...

They are a courier company looking to hire IC's. They only pay one-way trips and no deadheading. Your deadhead miles will add up to about 45% of your total miles. I also think they pay 44%, which is about 45cents a mile. They haul all the loads no one else wants, like tons of copy paper for...

The company you work for is no doubt going to want to pay you what the regular driver gets for doing it 5 days a week. That by no means is fair to you. WHY??? For many reasons. To many to write. One of which is, "not getting the benefit of getting guaranteed mile each week like he is. Remember...

Maybe can go to a junk yard and buy a odometer and replace the old one.

Set it to US-miles??? if this can't be done I would try calling GM corp, and see what they have to say.

All the fluids in my van are sync. The oil, tranny, rear end, (dif) power steering, and even the grease I use when I lube the van, is sync. I still have regular brake fluid in the van though. It came with the pink coolant but I switched over to the green. I change my own oil about every 10K...

That is 220,000 miles. The “K” in 220K stands for 220thousand, but you knew that. I see how it may have confused a person.

I think you will like the Chevy 2500. Are you going with the extended or the regular? Thanks for the email!!!

A GREAT BIG HARAY FOR EO!!! All's cool on the home front. Glad to see so many members showing up and getting the exposure. Got an email from Mark but can't remember if he was close by or not. No doubt Rich is on his way up to the show. Didn't he say he was going to be there? What is the reaction...

Hi OVM! The only thing that I would say needs replaced on the Chevy is the fuel pump about ever 120 to 150K. Other than that, Like Taz stated Chevy has the extended frame and I like that over the shorter wheel base. I have 220K miles plus and only had to replace the REAR, Ya Rear pads once. That...

It's not just Freightliner, or may not be Freightliner at all. Not likely!!! It may be the place working on the truck and the warehouse they are ordering from. There are good service shops and bad ones alike. Before you form the wrong opinion of what I am saying in this thread, I want to let...

YA!!! Find another profession. I suggest you take about a week and read this forum. Research the archives and after you do that then come back to the forum and ask the questions that pertain to this profession. Please Alan, don’t take this the wrong way, I mean no harm!!! It’s just that the...
