$1,100 per week comes out to be about 3800 miles for 21 days @ $.85 per mile. That's 1,266 miles a week. For me it would be nice to have on a regular basis. That's a little under 2000 miles for 11 days and 1800 and change for 10 days.

Unless things have changed Route #301 through the Eastern Shore of Maryland is a guaranteed ticket for any Vehicle with out of State plates.

Roadee, I am CLEARLY learning by trial and error. So far more error's. I would suggest you go to Expedite:NOW.com and read the #8 part series "Business Planning for Expediters" by Phil Madsen. I have read it and reread it but I'm a slow learner and need the repetition to learn. Best of luck to...

Thank you so much, it makes it much eaiser to understand what different people are driving.

It would seem to me if a person drives 1500 miles in a week or around 214 a day to try and average 4,500 miles on a 21 day month, @ $3.50 a gallon for fuel and you get 20 MPG your still going to need close to $375.00 for a ten day out. Plus it will most likely be 19-21 days before you see your...

I have either a Dumb or uninformed question. When O/O or subcontracted drivers talk of "A" "B" "C" or "D" Unit's exactly what type of Trucks are being talked about. I drive a Ford E 350 extended Cargo Van. Thanks.

I drove for Panther, and I don't recall just how many days it is some where between 8-12 and Panther will consider you inactive and Freeze your pay until you go back out.

In Missouri, you can take the test. If you fail you can take it again right away if you wish or wait and keep trying until you pass. Then your given a list of sites Nation wide where you can be fingerprinted. After you get the results back you go to DMV with a Valid birth certificate or Pass...

I would surely like to meet the person who driving someone Else's Rig earned $2,000.00 in a week on the road.

What is "Old hat" to experienced drivers is exactly why Companies should tell uninformed "Newbies" what to expect. It seems to me if a Company cares if it's O/O are successful it would be beneficial to the Company. Instead of sending them out to succeed or fail by trial and error.

If your going for a Haz-Mat endorsement wouldn't it make more sense to pass your test before you pay $90.00 or so to be finger printed?

I find these Post's both enlightening & entertaining. My problem when I went to work for "Panther" knowing nothing of the business was that they NEVER at Orientation or the Recruiter ever said be prepared to sit half the time your out. The other was if you moved more then ( think it was 7/10 of...

Mr. Bobthestooge, if I recall correctly or close to correctly when a UAW worker is Laid off he collects unemployment, plus compensation from his employer which between the two approach close to 90% of his take home pay. Is this correct?

Ms Pardel, excuse me for being slow but I am having some trouble understanding your post. You say you drove for Panther while with Expedited Solutions. Then in your remarks about the Equipment Expedited Soultions supplied to you, through an owner, Kyle Ochs you say while at Mitsubishi Plant...

Vipra, if Panther had been upfront and told me to expect to sit for as much as I would carry Freight I would probably still be there.

It was a PantherII suggested move that made me go to the new location.

If you are accessing this site through Google, "Spell Check" is at the top of the page look for the ABC with a check next to it.

In regards to not being paid on pick up I can understand. My problem was being new and knowing nothing about Exoediting, being expected to fuel & maintain my truck and live on 45% while waiting 18 to 21 days for the first pay off was difficult to say the least. The earliest I was ever paid...

I became interested in Expediting by driving from MO. to N.H. two or three times a year and seeing Fed EX C.C. and PantherII trucks on the road. In July 2007 I contacted a large Co. After a few e mails with the recruiter I sent in a poor mans businees plan. At the time I had NO debts, my home...

Mr. Berry, are you saying Bolt Express is NOT hireing Cargo Van O/O?
