RE: Is Expediting in vans becoming extinct? I drive a straight truck (D Unit) but I have many friends with vans.None of them are making money.One to two runs a week maybe grossing $5-600 seems to be the norm.Your quoted rates of $25-30,000 appears to be right on the money,or should I say lack...

If I was starting from scratch I would definitely run a E unit.E!s can haul anything and in the case of Fedex CC they will never get than D pay.E units are in demand,never sit and other then parking problems are the best way to go. Oh I would sign with FDX CC,they have the E Business..

Just today I talked with a Freightliner Tech Rep (1-800-385-4357) on their Hot Line. We chatted about my minor problem and then got into Engines.I mentioned about all of the problems you hear about the Cat 3126.He said that engine is fine for what the truck is designed to do.

I use Mega Life out of Texas,High deductible but premiums are not too bad and they have a prescription card. They can be reached at 1-800-527-5504. OOIDA has recently suspended their plans and are looking for another company. But it is a very worthwhile organization to belong to.If you ever...
