I am going to purchase a sprinter van for a previous driver of mine. He's only going to run the Midwest and Southeast. Can someone recommend a manufacturer and the set up you recommend as far as wheel base, trans, etc. I have been on the side lines too long. Please and thank you!

49 CFR 393.76 - Sleeper berths.. I don't know if your truck falls under these DOT requirements but if it's a straight truck and your logging your time this stands true. If I'm wrong someone correct me please

Lets not forget the variables for example on the company you are considering working for. It's a known fact that they will broker a load to a carrier if they get a better offer then what you are contracted to them for. Now to me that's ass backwards. My job as a business owner and fleet...

Do you have to sign a contract that you will have the truck a certain period of time.? Reason I ask is I had no direction when I entered this industry. I started hauling general freight and found expedite by accident. I didn't even know it existed or was a option that's how green I was...

Plus I have 5 years under my belt with a motorcycle club out of Detroit. I been around the block once or twice. Maybe not always by choice. Lol.

Isnt being in expedite for almost 18yrs qualified enough to write a book??

I'm not touching this one. Theirs not a comment I can make that would come out properly.

Lmfao. Your a riot. Lol

Come to think about it I had a lot of interesting jobs and they where all driving jobs. I drove local flatbed, OTR oversize, I drove limousines, a cab, I was a personal driver for some local politicians for awhile some of those years are foggy but it's possible I might have even drove Mrs Daisy.

I'm proud to say I drove for Checker cab in Detroit back in the day. Life is full of different experiences and that is one I will never forget!

Lol, they don't have a clue. Being new their is a level of excitement because it's new, eyes wide shut and ears closed. They believe everything they hear and believe everything they see. That's just 1 issue. The most intelligent, hard working, caring men and women will get chewed up and...

Maybe I have too much to say at times, my mind is never shutting off. I don't think their is anything I can do to re-energize the EO brand because I already believe in EO. I believe in this platform so much that it would be the main driving force for any ideas that we have for bringing...

You have to have serious respect for OVM. Only tells you the way it is and ready to call b.s. always enjoyed reading those posts and replies. Lol.

I'm gonna try to catch some rest. I appreciate the conversation. Thank you

Thinking back my answer to this is their is a "for profit" program in place for the wrong group. It's all of us NOT coming together soon enough and at least putting forth a effort on a new level. This forum works, everyone on here puts in countless hours advising and helping. We just need a...

You really are not able to have a rating system . But anyone that qualifies to fly that flag is a solid carrier. It's like a pledge or a oath I don't know I can bring the idea but like I said it's above my head. I need others to weigh in like Lawrence, John Elliot, the admins, vetrans and see...

This is above my pay grade. Tell commissioner Gordon to light the Bat signal over the city and get John Elliot to weigh in on this.

As much as I appreciate your comment it takes a team of top brass to make changes. It's a united front . A panel of a mixed group of vetran drivers, owners , and others to form something that is this important of a issue even having a rookies advice is just as important. You have to manage this...

How about instead of talking about that dreaded word regulation we talk about education, organization, and cooperation. And what I mean by these 3 important words is come together as one from carriers, to dealerships, truck stops, repair shops and etc. Fly a unity flag that everyone...

Ok. Let me take this 1 step further because I have a HUGE problem with deception and making yourself out to be nothing of the sort. Here's one reason. One of the reasons I retired from the industry is because mentally I was tired from the horror stories I was swamped with from people I could...
