    hazmat pay for expedite tractors

    I can only speak for FEDEXCC but they do pay more for Haz/Mat shipments. The only time I have really been concerned was for a shipment of Explosives that was 50 years old. Also Rocket Fuel used in NASA rockets is very lethal. I was told that one breath of it would kill you in 10 seconds. If you...

    My co-driver is starting soon and...

    If you put him on as an employee you will have to withold and pay his fica and income tax. I don't think you can 1099 an employee. If he is going to be an employee,it would be in your best interests to get that LLC finshed. This way he works for the LLC, not you This way if he has an accident...

    Colorado does not offer much in the way of expediting as we know it.Also the distance from Denver to almost anywhere would probably require a team. Now if statying in Colorado doesn't mean much to you and you are willing to go on the road for extended intervals you could proably find a fleet...

    Fuel rebate credit cards ?

    Citi Bank will give you a Master card that gives 5% back on fuel,3% back on supermarkets etc,1% back on everything else. There is a $300 yearly limit on the rebate so just get yourself 2-3 cards and when you max one out for rebates start using the next one. 5% on fuel is a decent rebate.

    There has to be accountability!

    As our California friend would say this is also the fault of the Bush adminstation. Waiting in line for 4-5 miles means you burned more fuel thus making VP ##### Cheney and the Haliburton guys wealthier.

    Working for Fleet

    You know whats kind of neat about this thread. We have all been around and have seen it all but we are trying to help this young guy get going. I think as Randy gets his feet wet he will become a successful expediter and in about 10 years will probably be a fleet owner and know how to treat his...

    Ohio is under water

    I think what happened is that the A Team never went to an offical orientation as they were drivers for fleet owners.Sounds like they may have finally obtained their own truck. ???? Noticed that they no longer have a signature stating W/G Dr unit,just CR unit so maybe they are not with W/glove...

    Ohio is under water

    You can definetly blame the outward movement of the planet Pluto on the Bush Aministration. VP Cheney and all his Haliburton oil buddies certainly have a hand in rearranging the solar System for their profits. Probably moving Pluto away caused more greenhouse emissions that could no longer be...

    c unit-need help identifying

    My personal plan has to never buy a truck that requires a team in it to make the payment plus pay road and living expenses. This has worked out well for us and I wouldn't be in the position that I am in now had I gone the huge payment route. My wife and I ran team for many years and did OK...
