Most companies require a Haz/Mat endorsement on your license. It is not that hard to get,but you do need to study the test. Running a Sprinter probably the only haz/mat material you might haul would be paint or a cylinder of helium etc. Express 1 has been around for a while and I have heard OK...

Try HAN!S Freightliner in Cleveland. They are off I 480 on the east side. They specialize in medium trucks and know the expedite truck needs well. In my opinion they are one of the best Freightliner dealers in the country.

Dave I sent you a private E mail through the EO mail regarding the hos rules.

As far as I understand it and with all that I have read ,the sleeper berth time of 10 hours resets the 14 hour clock to zero.So if you drive 5 hours,sleeper for 5 hours,drive 5 hours,sleeper for 5 hours the 14 hour clock starts up again.

The way I understand it is that the clock restarts after a 10 hour sleeper break. The 10 hours can be split but must have a minimum of 2 hours per break.I think you can also take sleeper and off duty time provided it is consecutive to restart the clock. What a hell of a mess this nonsence is...

I would definitely get the legs. The battery powered forklift trucks are about 12,000 pounds without any load on them. I hauled one of those suckers from Titusville FL to Santa Rosa CA and going up the Grapevine above LA was a nice 20 mph experience. I was curious as too why someone would pay...

This past week we ran from Jacksonville FL to ElPaso Tx using the 5 on 5 off rule.The way I understand it is that the split sleeper time gives you a total of 10 hours off which then resets the 14 hour clock. We normally run 5 on 5 off but sometimes 8 on 8 off and sometimes when real tired do 4...

Living in Delaware is a good area for van freight.The areas of Baltimore ,Philadelphia and North Jersey seem to dispatch a good deal of small freight to places like JFK airport etc. I used to live in Rutherford NJ and it was not unusal to do 2-3 airport trips in one day. You are correct that...

There used to be a company in Tampa Fl that made 24 inch sleepers. They were called coffin sleepers because they looked like coffins and all you could do in them was sleep like you were dead. They also built sleepers into the front of the box.I had 2 Mercedes Benz trucks with 28 foot boxes and...

For the last few years we have averaged about a $1.81 per loaded mile and about a$1.10 for all miles.But that $1.81 is misleading as many trips have accessory charges such as inside pickups and deliveries,liftgate work,climate controlled shipments, etc and you do EARN those extra bucks for...

Good to see you back Sean,I think I must be psychic,just yesterday i was driving along on I 75 in Georgia and was wondering about some of the folks that used to post and now they are gone.I thought of you and Wild Bill among others and here you are back on.Glad to hear that you are doing OK.

The word Expediting tells you that shipments must usually be picked up and delivered ASAP. Dedicated routes are for routine shipments. There maybe some companies that for a month or so will run a trip at the same time every day but once their obligations are fulfilled they will go back to...
