    Aerocell question

    Twmaster For the type of work you do I don't see why you need something as big as a sprinter, or the big aerocell body. Why not just get a regular Chevy or Ford, heavy duty. You will end up getting 500K, 600K, or more hauling the loads you do. I haul less than 1000 lbs in my 3500 Chevy and get...

    a different style truck

    Is it that I'm old fashion or is the expediting world changing? Na!!! That’s not it!!! This new breed of drivers (Not all new drivers) wants all the worldly comforts, then be the first ones to whine and cry about not making enough money. I not only tend to agree with Weave but I know as a...

    Time to quit lurking and ask ?'s

    To give you a start on getting some answers is to look at the past posts in the archives. A lot of your questions will get answered just by reading those. The 2000 van is not a good investment because most companies require a van be replaced every 4 or 5 years. This van will put limits on who...

    RE: Hey Van guys (and Gals)! What are you paying f Is your cargo insurance included in that price? I pay $1500.00 a year for mine that is $1mil, liability and $100K cargo. All insurance is based on what you told your agent when applying for the insurance. Where is it you will be delivering...

    Curiosity killed Tony!

    I am always seeing posts from members about operating authority. Most members inquire about getting an authority, and I was just wondering how any EO members we have with their own operating authority? Of the members that do have your own authority, are you operating under it now? Did you...

    Up Front Costs

    If the company advances 40% when the load is picked up on the con-data card why isn't the owner of the van giving that 40% to the driver? I can see the three week wait for the settlement but if I'm not mistaken don't the bigger expedite companies have weekly settlements?

    Up Front Costs

    I would call Panther and speak to a company prep about the way they pay. This sounds to me like this O/O is the one doing this 3 week deal. If in fact you do find out it is the O/O I'd turn his butt into the state. Reason being he is in fact treating you as an employee, but lying to you and the...

    Fuel Surcharge

    You are 100% right about them not passing this into law. I believe I was telling the driver if a company did pay the company a fuel surcharge it is a law that the monies paid for that fuel surcharge go to the person that did in fact pay for the fuel. I read the bill and mistook it as being...
