Terry, looks like I interperted GaGirl's post wrong. I thought and calculated that the drivers wanted to gross $90K after they bought the fuel.

Well based on what you said and doing some quick and dirty math here is what I came up with. You said the truck was a 60/40 split so I assume your Husband and Dad are getting 60% and the owner receiving 40%. For both drivers to gross $45K before fuel I figure the truck has to gross at a minimum...

Can u advise what Company he is thinking of going with? Differnt companies have different procedures,generally the top of the board means after you are unloaded and waiting on another trip. The idea is to get to the location where your carrier would like you to be asap.

Unfortunately for my friend that 610 mile run cancelled and turned into a 140 mile run. Ain't Expediting grand..x(

Fedex has several operating companies. which one are you interested in? FDX Custom Critical, FDX Ground. FdX Logistics,FDX Freight or Federal Express.If you have a current CDL with a Haz/mat endorsement all it should cost you is a DOT Physical and a Drug Test.

Nothing like having a 2,000 pound moose charging at you,saw one in Maine once I stopped real fast to let himn cross the road and in the middle he stopped and looked at the truck,wonder what was going through his mind.

Curious?? What company are u with?With FDXCC you can have the shut off time programmed from 1 minute to 24 hours or more. I use a 8 hr shut down time after the ignition is turned off and the batteries always seem OK. Thre is also a method with the FDX unit to shut it off yourself. Go to option...

There is a chemical company in Baton Rouge that makes you get completely undressed and put on one of their protective suits. One vist to that place was enough for me.

Also make sure you carry safety glasses and steeltoe boots with you.Some companies will require you to put them on in order to come in to the shipping/receiving areas.

Reddytruck I stand corrected. I made an assumption which I see was wrong.Thanks for correcting this.

Probably about 85-90 % could go into the 16 foot box.Pretty rare to get a 22 footer filled up,but weight can be an issue with a 16 footer. Since you say you can carry 13,000 that should not be a problem but most of the major carriers will classify you as a C truck,thus you will get ahigh...

Nice to see your enthusiasm. Keep it between the lines and stay safe.

Placards must be displayed on both sides plus the front and rear of the vehicle. Your front bumper or grill would work fine,but if you put something on your grill make sure you don't interfere with air flow to your radiator. As far as flip placards getting dirty?? I have never cleaned mine nor...

However most of the new questions coming into the forums are van related. it seems like everyone wants to drive a van vs a straight truck. I don't see how a owner of a van can employ a driver for that van and both individuals make a living wage.

XM is well worth it,the other night I was parked in White River Jct Vt,out of hours so I sat up in the cab sipping a beverage,smoked a cigar and listened to the Boston Red Sox whip up on the Oakland a's. Sometimes it doesn't get much better.

I did that sort of stuff for about 18 months once. It was similar to Sears only you ran your own truck. Had to pay a helper and had all of the problems that you can expect when you are dealing with individuals at the bottom of the labor pool. I contracted with a company called Merchants Home...
