Can u tell me the secret as to getting plenty of heat in the bunk??Perhaps your wife can talk to my wife.LOL after 14 years of 24/7 togetherness in a D unit very little goes on any more..

One other item,what!s the differnce in making out W2!S ,instead of a 1099.takes same amount of time. I would enjoy discussing these points by phone with you some time.I believe your number is posted,so if you can set a convient time I will give you a call.

Frank, you and I have never met and I respect your advice but I have to take issue with you on the 7 reasons you mentioned not to incorporate. The total feel to set up my C Corpration was $99.00 and is fully deductible. 2 In a C Corp you do not pay taxes twice,the profit or loss is passed on to...

You can usually always find fleet owners looking for driver teams. Look into the help wanted posts on this and other trucking forums. Also all of the companies that advertise on this forum would probably be able to put you in touch with fleet owners that are looking for drivers..

I think if your license is valid and clean you will probably be ok,However if I was a Owner Operator looking for drivers I think I would want to see some experience, plus pass all kinds of driving tests.I think experience will show during testing.

Weave is this the governor that mounts on the left hand side near the front of the engine.I belive it has 2 lines comung out,one for the front brakes and air accesories and one for the rear brakes. If so that is a real good price and I will get one.I have lost 2 of them over the years and also...

As I said in a different post I have always run D units and have taken the standard mileage deduction. My tax accountant who at one time worked for the IRS advised this.I was audited once and had no problems with the standard deduction.However that was several years ago. In looking at driving...

I think your posts are needed and offer good advise but I have to disagree on one subject.I have always run D Units and have taken the standard mileage deduction rather than depreciation and operating costs. I did this based on my accountants advice,who previously worked for the IRS. In 1995 I...

Good luck in college,let us know what you are majoring in,you never know,might be a good mentor out here..

Joe living in NorthEast ohio,I will assume Cleveland ,Youngstown area has possibilities for what you are looking for.There are numerous owner-operators that have small fleets in Ohio,Indiana,Michigan ETC.yOU WILL NEED A VALID,CLEAN CDL WITH A HAZ/MAT ENDORSEMENT in order to qualify for most...

Having a Class A CDL is a good start.Most carriers also require a Haz?Mat endorsement plus a clean driving record.You sound like you want to drive for an owner who may have several trucks leased to one of the expediting carriers. Yous should be able to earn more than $350 per week doing...

I heard on my local radio station today that Art Bell will be returning to all night radio effective Feb 5,2001. Now we can go back to UFO stories,alien abductions,near death experiences,etc.I always found Art to be very entertaining while driving on those all night trips.After a while the...

Did they give you a reason for termination? I have heard of about 4-5 people being let go and they seem to think it!s based on availability and refusals.What!s interesting is that the ones being let go all have many years with the company.Perhaps they want new blood that doesn!t complain and...

Most of the major players are located in the midwest.I think you might try Landstar Express America as they deal with individual agents and they probably have someone in the Portland area.Also there is a company that runs a ad on this site called Sunny Express.I believe they are in California..

Gary I agree with the previous post,Lets give it a rest.Al Gore lost because he ran a terrible campaign,absolutely bombed on the debates particularly the last one where he was running around like a chicken with his head cut off ,and had to deal with Tipper hating Bill,so he could not use Bill...

I have a Cummins C 225 with a Fuller 6 speed and generally get between 11-12.5 MPG,Thats running at 65 mph or less. Sometimes running out west with strong east winds might drop down to 10,I have 460,000 miles on the engine and have never gotten less then 10. It is a excellent durable,cheap to...

Dinger would you by any chance be my friend whose initals are D.E.??If you are I will tell everyone you can believe this man..

I guess what I don!t understand is how the reduction in the advance affects the contractor/driver business relationship.Fedex CC is still loading the card so a driver can say I am paid by Fedex Cc and a small amount from Joe Bob!s Express,assuming he or she is getting 50%. Whatever,now we have...

You make a good point but as I said the comcard is assigned to the truck and the owner of the truck is the one receiving the funds.If the owner wishes to give the driver 50% ,that is between the owner and the driver.Fedex CC is not paying the driver but the owner of the truck.It!s the drivers...
