    Hot Shot ???

    I would chose a straight truck right now over anything else as they seem to be doing well right now but things change quickly. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Hot Shot ???

    I wouldn't get involved in the freight industry at all right now IF I had a job that I earned $500/week being at home and that is if getting into a tractor trailer or straight truck. There are just to many things up in the air that could cause many to go bankrupt or leave before they lose...

    Bolt

    There are other expenses that go along with these as well like your non-trucking liability insurance, DOT physical, and drug test or if they decide to give you a random drug test you will pay for that, but the ones I posted are being deducted from your check by Bolt. There are many companies out...

    Bolt

    I wouldn't get involved with them right now. The rates and amount of freight has decreased quite a bit over the last couple of months. You will have weekly costs of $35/week for OCC insurance, $30/week for QC, $5/week for paperwork, and $5/week for Liability Limiter Program. Those charges are...

    It depends on the agreement you have with the owner but normally the driver pays it. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    That was the other thing I forgot, if people are telling you to setup an LLC they are giving you bad advice. An LLC will protect your personal assets if you had a driver involved in an accident but since you will be the driver as well they will sue you and the company together, so the LLC will...

    Police Officer Stopped for Speeding

    When OVM mentioned it I started trying to research it to see if they mentioned who paid the bill. It was a young guy, I believe he was 23, he was on a joy ride on his way to work so he wasn't considered as being killed on duty. A few years ago the county decided that all deputies would bring the...

    I can tell you my wife and I have been driving together in an E350 and we aren't anywhere close to touching $1500/week. We stay out on the road as well, since May we have averaged less than 4 days of home time a month. The figures you are expecting are way off and if you need a somewhat regular...

    Police Officer Stopped for Speeding

    Back home there was a county sheriff that was killed when he wrapped his cruiser around a tree because he was just cruising around at a high rate of speed. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    If the pot is laced with anything it was done by the user or they paid the dealer extra for it. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    They were convicted on federal charges because they were involved in sales or manufacturing, crack is illegal in all 50 so the scenario of growing pot in California is another issue. These were guys that were involved in drug rings not just some lowly users. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    I am definitely for the legalization of pot but as for drugs like heroin, coke, or crack I see valid reasons for them to be illegal. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Kicked out by TA

    It appears to be due to the insurance companies and keeping homeless away. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    The reason they were not was the violence that is associated with crack sales. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Some people might want to look into why they had federal charges instead of state, these are distributors not users. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    That doesn't say they shouldn't be punished though, it shows Jesus as being humble and that he is for everyone. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    The choice to change carriers is both personal and difficult for many reasons but shouldn't be viewed as a mistake regardless of how things turn out. I have recently posted about some of the issues I am having and they are very real issues and the time to act and how I respond needs to be...
