I believe u already have the authorization,just log in and u can get there.

Dave and Glen,I left both of you guys a somewhat important message in the Moderators Forum.

Fifty eight is certainly not too old for this work.There are many drivers out here doing expediting that are in their 50!s,60!s and even older. A few months back a driver that I knew who was a active driver passed away.He was in his 80!s plus his wife drove with him and she was in her early...

One other thing is that the A Team 10 wheeler will not make any additional revenue vs a Class 7 ,6 wheeler that can haul 13,000 lbs such as mine. Face it 95% of your load offers are C loads so why buy this big A-- truck. Some people absolutely amaze me.

Well you can do what the A team thinks is a good deal and instead of buying 6 tires you can buy 10. Instead of getting 11 mpg you can get 7. You can pay Insurance rates on a $55k truck or pay on a $10OK truck.You can have a $8 K generator setup or you can have a lot of motel rooms. Bottom line...

Apportionment fees are for the States and Provinces that you will actually run in and do so called business in. Your base plate is for your home state or another state that you can legally register in. Up until last year many o/operators based themselves (including me) in Oklahoma as you paid no...

I don!t know how it is now but a few years ago the transmissions in Ford Diesel vans did not hold up well.They were designed for the gas engine and couldn!t handle the torque put out by the diesel. I know of several guys that had transmissions rebuilt several times. If you started off real slow...

I don!t run a van but based on conversations I have had plus what you can read on this forum,I would definetly go with the GMC.There are plenty of Chevy/GMC vans with gas engines that have many miles on them without too much down time. But with the price of gas these days the better mileage you...

I am partial to Cummins ,but really who gives you the best warranty is the best engine. Also if you are thinking of a International straight truck, the DT 466 engine is virtually bullet proof.

If you are going to spec a 16 inch box why not get a A unit.

Why do you feel it necesary to lie and cheat your company? It!s obvious that it is you that has the so called Ghost driver.You do a dis service to all of us that run and operate legal.

I bought it new.It was speced and built for another guy but when they tried to reach him, he either had died or was in prison etc. His phone had been disconnected and his house was empty.It sat on Orlando Freightliner!s lot for about 7 months and I heard about it,negoiated for a couple of weeks...

I may regret saying this but our FL 70 is pushing 800 K with no major problems. We put it into sevice in June of 1996,but the actual build date was August 95.Only repair over 1k was transmission and clutch repairs for $1800.Nice to have no payments.

Another scenario is when you just drive through Canada in order to save miles.Example would be to load in Buffalo and deliver in Detroit,by going through Ontario you would save miles plus a little bit on the tolls.To do this you need a In Transit Manifest,when you arrive at the border they will...

Depends what you are hauling in.The most important document is a Canadian Customs Invoice describing the material and the value of the product.You will most likely be using a customs broker on the Canadaian side so you will need to fill out what is known as a A8SA form before you get to the...

What Tolls?? Last wek I ran I 90 across ID and WY with no tolls.The week before I ran I 15 and I 84 through ID and had no tolls..

This was a common practice years ago.Many drivers qualified neighbors or relatives to act as their co driver but ran the whole trip alone. One time there was an accident in Texas where the driver was in a coma and the Texas State Troopers spent about 20 hours looking for the so called co driver...

Many factors affect fuel mileage,the engine size, the weight of the load,adverse weather (strong winds are a killer) and driving habits.When you idle you get 0 mpg,I have always driven in a conservative manner and usually get about 10.5 to 11.5.This is for a D unit with a Cummins 8.3 liter...

There wa C truck operating that the owners spent about $280,000 on it.However last December it was involved in an accident and burned to the ground. Thing to remember is that do you want to work for the truck or for yourself? You can get a decent Class 7 truck in the mid 70!s or you can go the...

There are 2 types of straight trucks commonly used in expediting, One is a C truck which must have as a minimum a 12 foot box and can carry 5,000 lbs. The next choice up is what is called a D unit,and have as a minimum a 20 foot box and be able to scale a load of 13,000 lbs. Most C! have a 14...
