Well that's if you are over 10k. If you don't have to log with a C/Van unless your caring hazardous would that not tell you your unregulated? If you had to log your regulated. I run 2 C/Vans, 2TT and 1 straight truck. The straight truck carry's nothing but class 1.4 explosives. I have a...

Well if you have a sneaking suspicion then you need to get some professional advice and pay for it. This has been discussed and cussed on this forum for years, same question keeps coming up and the same answers keep going out.

I think it's a sign of the times. Another words when the unemployment is high and money tightens up they get a cheap truck and run just to get through the hard times. Right now nobody has any money and it shows. It also shows that a lot of new carriers around and they will lease anything or...

I'm talking GM not Sprinters. I have had a Duramax and liked it. The trouble was 600# heavier and in a van you need all the cargo capacity you can get. My neighbor who has an 05 duramax just paid $3,000 for an injector job. With that much I can drop a brand new 6.0 in with warranty. You...

Somebody please tell me what insurance has to do with authority. Rocket science again. That's true with a unit over 10K but not C/Van. The insurance is for the shipper liability as well as yours, has nothing to do with authority for a C/Van because you don't need it. If you have authority...

If you don't care about fuel mileage no. And the comments about 09 are true.

Well my prediction for the next 4 yrs. Gas and diesel up $1-$2 dollars a gallon more. If you get power from an Ohio power plant your electric bill will double. Business will continue to run to other country's. Our nations security will be in question. So on and so on.

We're Screwed.

I live in SC and yes they have a law and every once in awhile a trooper will write a $50 ticket. They have to take a picture of the puddle, can you imagine how many troopers will do this.

Truckload carriers have always been their own worst enemy. Right now according to the AMA T/load carriers have an average of 15% of their fleet parked for lack of drivers. 40yrs ago you had to know someone in Trucking to get a job driving, you also had to be at least 24 yrs of age and 2yrs...

What you say is absolutely true, but unfortunately he doesn't listen he wants process agents and MC numbers. He can go to Land Line and pay them to get it but he doesn't need it. I guess a truck looks good with all those numbers and letters on the door. It will invite all the dot boys to pull...

:o Don't want to hurt your feelings but you ain't gonna make it. Your doing research on a forum, common. Again C/Vans don't need Process Agents and non of that other crap. If you don't believe it and you want a fleet hire a DOT Attorney and save yourself some grief. Why ask if you...

Why are you getting Authority and your own MC#? Don't need it. C/Vans under 10k not regulated. Get with a good carrier till you know what your doing. Call CIS get your insurance. 1million liability, 100k cargo plus your vehicle ins and go to work.

I'm sorry I didn't see the photos above and your right about the sleeper and the DWR. Seems like some research would have helped, but new market for them. I think they have one like that running for Tri State but it's probably a 12K unit.

Obviously your looking at the wrong pictures.

Here we go again. Turtletop will custom build your sleeper anyway you want it. The insulation pkg is R-11. Again they do not stretch their chassis. They are on a 139-159-177 wb for GM and not sure about Ford but you can ask Hazmat. Also no issues with SRW again Hazmat has SRW and mine will...

That quote coming from Ken and another from Dennis should speak volumes for Bolt. When looking at a short load say one like mentioned above, $250 for 48 miles is a good load. What I look at is the time of day the load is loaded. If it's loaded in the Am and delivering the same day that's...

While I'm all for deadly force in the time of need, this is not the place. I think you or anyone would have a hard time justifing deadly force in the middle of a parking lot with an unarmed assailant with a can in their hand. A lawyer would eat your lunch in court. But again the oop's factor...

If your going to Long Island be full of fuel and carry a couple extra cans of fuel. If you get stuck there and can't get out for a couple of days you will need it. I might ad, both of the major refineries are closed and will be for at least a week. Those two refineries supply Long Island so...

I had the same thing happen to me in a Home Depot lot a few weeks ago. No threats or anything probably cause I was twice his size. I told him I would take him to his car and help him, then he suddenly said his daughter was coming to get him. That was a giveaway. He didn't plan on anyone...
