Yes, it is possible to deliver first and have someone jump you by getting to the express center before you. No dwell time while driving. You are supposed to be parked somewhere before checking in. If you leave that express center or go OOS you lose all dwell time. You can move around the express...

I think I know what it is. But if I am right I can't tell. Then again I could be wrong, so I guess I can tell. Darn, now I forgot what I was gonna say.

We are a D truck but have been getting b, c, and d's out of Florida. Pick ups in Orlando, KSC, Jacksonville, Georgia and one in Lake City only 8 miles from home.

I do not yet have the new QC. Are you unable to send messages while the truck is moving? If so, why not call in on the VRU and use option 6 to respond to the opp? Make sure you use your hands free device.

I tried running solo and only grossed $8000 for 30 days one month and $5000 the other. I would starve doing that all the time.

We are in Albuququre wishing for a run to Florida. It's time to go home and get the hit and run damaged fixed. We have been dispatched from home the last 7 or 8 times. You just need to stay north of Orlando.

Actually we were only here about an hour and got a great paying opp to Virginia. Unfortunately we could not take it as my wifes clock was almost finished and I had been awake for 30 hours due to a dry run on monday morning. Making money is great, but if I can't due it safely I'm not going to...

I think everyones acceptance rates would go up if they stopped sending out opps that no one can afford to run or going to a delivery location where you will never be seen or heard from again.

Thanks. That load turned into a dry run. We got a better paying one to Albuquerque.

We relocated to Ontario over the weekend and got a great paing load to Albuquerque on Monday. There were some loads coming out of Sacramento but mainly in state runs.

I don't mean to be picky but shouldn't that be 0.2 gallons per hour. Most APU's that I have looked at burn @ 0.4 GPH as an average. Our truck burns 0.8 GPH with the AC on. By the time we buy an APU, maintain it and pay for the fuel, plus have it repaired everytime it brakes and lose time...

Has anyone been getting out of Las Cruces, NM lately?

No, we are a white Columbia, currently sitting in Ontario.

We do not have an APU so must idle to stay cool. The owner of our repair shop in Florida swears that you would be better off putting the 10k into an interest bearing savings account and keeping it for an engine rebuild when it becomes necessary. He claims that the APU's break down and require...

Go for a class 8 truck if you can find a good used one at a price you can afford. Check out the classifieds on here. A lift gate and pallet jack will get you more opps than not having one. A reefer will get you more opps, but the higher price of the truck and the maintenance on the reefer may...

Why give the load to a truck nearby when you can deadhead one 500 or more miles? That's the DVA workings it's magic.

Last time we were in Denver we foolishly sat there for 5 days before taking a relocate to Elk Grove. We are now in Sacramento with 36 hours of dwell time. We turned down 2 loads to Las Vegas that paid well. We just don't trust getting out of Vegas. We are thinking about doing an authorized DH...

Suprisingly we have only gotten a couple low paying opps since the original post and only one repeat. Then again we are near Sacremento, CA and have not gotten any opps in 24 hours.

See if you have an air filter under the bunk wear the fan motor is located.

This is an update to the thread Commercial Insurance. John Benisch of Commercial Insurance Solutions has straightened out the problem I had with Progressive Insurance regarding down time coverage. CIS was correct when his companies e mail to me stated, "The policy includes $175 per day up...
