I read an article in the Free Press not long ago about the money problems in the D (I know, shocker). One of the comments shocked me, though. The poster mentioned that there's a museum or gallery in Detroit containing over a billion dollars worth of artwork, and that the building AND the artwork...

Under "Summary of Changes", Rest Breaks, Right side, Final Rule: Summary of Hours-of-Service (HOS) Regulations - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Interested to know what you find out. When the units first came out, ours used to reset every Monday at 2000 hours. Now, it's completely random, but definitely much more random than yours, Jim. Maybe a call to Tom in QC in the morning?

Where do they live? Will they be buying a truck? What kind(equipment)? How often do they need to be home? Obviously, we're with FedEx. We've done well with them, both annual income and per-all-miles rates. We're in a surface truck (read=non-White Glove) with a liftgate, both HM endorsements...

The 8.5 mpg figure scares me.

I should probably clarify one thing.....my knowledge of the van segment is limited to what I read here. My bride and I also have Class A licenses, but have only ever driven a straight truck, and only as a team. I believe that everyone else that responded to both of your threads, except Dave...

Almost everywhere in this industry segment, you'll be self-employed, and therefore, responsible for your own health insurance. Regarding that, why not get coverage from the VA? Or are there family members that you have to cover? If that's the case, then you can buy it yourself. There are several...

I would use TurboTax Home & Business, unless you were incorporated, or operate a Limited Liability COMPANY, that elects to be taxed as a corporation, if I were in your shoes. In the latter case, I would use Turbo Tax Basic, then TurboTax Business. And yes, I capitalized Company on purpose.

[email protected] That's where we send ours, then follow up with a phone call to ensure it's received and properly attributed to our truck. Just a guess, but maybe the problems are from the upgrades to the extranet we were told about in recent fleet bulletins.

Yep. That brings me back to my first question: How can you afford to still live there? Or, why would you?

Are we at war with, or unaligned/not allied with Qatar?

Exactly. Property, Income, Sales.....plus that little gem of backdoor taxation called the Thruway. Want me to keep going?

Nor me, Deville. I grew up real near Bob. Great place to visit, but the taxes there are at least triple of mine......ALL of them. Maybe we could take up a collection and fill in Clinton's ditch?

Good on ya for the heads-up, Bob. Here's some questions: Who will pay to feed Sal, the mule that walks the towpath on your recreational waterway that the toll increases were going to increase for, and.... How the heck can you still afford to live in that state? I still love NY, but where, oh...

Every single response to this thread (even Brisco's.....to an extent) contains criticism, and most of it constructive. Also, most from folks with several years behind the wheel....and some behind the wheel of vans. I don't drive a van, and occasionally butt heads with DaveKC, but his industry...

Count your blessings.....you found them early, and it's not a new engine! Merry Christmas!

Spoiler.......

Really? Can you point me to that rule?
