    Looking for ideas/input for a drivers facility.

    I am beginning to think everyone at Load 1 is paid off. I don't think in my 40yrs of trucking have I heard so many positive things coming from one company:D. Makes me wonder how long it will last. I might talk to you about putting on a new truck in March. Anyway one thing (depending on...

    Looking for ideas/input for a drivers facility.

    That's not only a good idea but could help with your employee health insurance rates. A workout room separate from from the break room. Invite your ins. broker in to see and you should qualify for discounts.:D

    What would you do if your present carrier closed?

    I like the start another one. But be careful of the latter (LS). Keep your hands on your pockets unless you have a lot of extra change.:D

    Cargo Van pulled for DOT inspection.

    Me too. Supposed to be 65 today here in S.C. But your right about the van and all that itching. I think some big truckers:cool::cool: are mad and just can't figure out what we do. Or maybe they would like to do what we do and just can't get out of what their doing. Something like that...

    What would you do if your present carrier closed?

    What would you do if the carrier you are contracted to right now closed the doors tomorrow? Do you have a plan? What carrier would be your first choice? Or would you hang up your spurs?:eek:

    Cargo Van pulled for DOT inspection.

    I also agree. Theirs a lot going on in Florida by local business's that having nothing to do with us. It might be an over enthusiastic officer pulled someone who also was not familiar with the law. Two wrongs don't make a right.:cool:

    Regular CV freight vs. Sprinter

    I'm with Dennis. I ran a D unit and dropped down to a CV and dropped down comfort wise as well. When you get older you need to have somewhat better living conditions. On another note I am also with ChefDennis and that's a new Sprinter type van coming soon. I personally think the Sprinter...

    Solo Drivers

    I have driven trucks for over 40yrs. Of that time probably 80% driven at night. I prefer to drive at night. As soon after my load is dropped, I hit the rack and sleep until slept out or another words as long as I can. I know this is not possible all the time but if you drive mostly at night...

    Topic 2- earnings

    I will only attempt to answer part of this. D/Head percentage cannot truly be answered by anyone because everyone's different. Some guys go back empty some sit for however long it takes to get another load. It also depends on the time of year and area your in. If you take a load to...

    Dogs and trucks

    As far as the dog goes I have an Aussie, he's not by any means miniature but he loves his C/Van. He goes everywhere I go and can't wait to hit the road. As far as sleepers go, I had a D unit with a 100" sleeper unit on the back with everything on it. The best thing to do is search the dealers...
