    I slept at walmart, about 10 miles from there. I would have stopped by today, but unfortunately, or fortunately (he he) I'm on the way to Alabama. Next time.

    Best Year for Sprinter Van

    The big companies probably will not take one that old, but smaller ones are more likely to do it. You will have to ask their recruiters this question.

    What I mean by electronic deposit is to take pictures with your smartphone of the check and deposit it that way. Not all banks have this, but I would guess all major banks do. You need to have a bunch of blank comcheks with you (can get them from Landstar supplies) and then call comdata, the...

    First Week at Landstar completed

    I never did a direct deposit from the comdata card. I would write a comchek and then deposit it electronically in my bank. 2 or 3 minutes longer process, but you save a buck.

    Lawrence doesn't stop anybody from coming here. When someone comes here he/she is required to abide by the few rules that we have. Very simple.

    Most of the time there are about 75 sprinters/cv in service and only about 10 of them loaded. You be the judge.

    Is there a Espar alternative?

    Red, you are partially correct about diesel engines, but in an espar heater the fuel doesnt ignite because of compression.

    Made it to St. Paul safe and sound, with 6 hours to spare. Now it is time to hit the hey until they open. Laredo is soooo appealing right now.

    5 Owner Operator Mistakes to Avoid

    Have at least 6 months of expenses, meaning that if you dont generate a penny in 6 months, you still have money to buy food, keep your lights on, pay the mortgage, pay the car payment, pay the payment on the 3 credit cards that you maxed out, etc. As you see, this number varies greatly between...

    2015 ford transit

    Turtle is correct. .45 a gallon discount is the highest I have seen, and it varies by state, season, and fuel prices. When the pump price is higher, the discounts are higher also.

    2015 ford transit

    Who mentioned markup is the closest to the truth. Why do you think that the big companies like Landstar and Mercer and others get 45cents or more discount on every gallon of diesel they buy? I am pretty sure that those truckstops don't loose money selling it at that discounted price. But the...

    Next Gen Mercedes Sprinter to Be Built in North America

    Gotta find a way to make them cheaper. I would like to believe that it will be built in the US, but more than likely it will be Mexico.

    Bill, back in my beginning days of expediting I tried to layover there, but left shortly after. I wouldn't sleep there if I got paid to do it. If you insist to stay at a truck stop, then go to the TA in Antioch, I24 exit 62 I believe. But I usually stay at Walmart, last week I was at one about 8...
