Not being given anything else, so have to take to make payments. Constantly being told lots of bids out, but not landing any

Two to three days, even lowering my rates to get out of Laredo. I am just looking for someone who will not keep putting me back in Laredo or California, then not being able to get me out. I would like to run on the east coast, but not given any opportunity to do so. Just wait and then get a...

I am brand new and on with a carrier that has given me about 4000 miles the first month at 80 cents a mile, but with almost 3200 deadhead miles getting back out of Laredo and California. I am told I have to have 6 months experience under my belt before Landstar will talk to me. How do I stay...

I had my first load from Ann Arbor to Las Vegas. I was going to be able to unload one day earlier than was scheduled when my vans idiot lights starting going off near Vail Colorado. It had to be towed to nearest dealership, because the throttle light and engine malfunction lights would not go...

Can anyone tell me if they idle for long periods in their PM diesel. I was told by my dealer not to, but I have also found out the hard way that they have no clues on these trucks in Florida. I'm sitting in Tracy California out in my chair listening to all the trucks motors running, plus...

You are oh so right on mileage. I get between 21 and 23 mpg. I have no idea what that Avg 45 on my screen stands for, I just get to look at it

I ran 900 miles yesterday from Florida to Dayton Ohio. The instrument panel showed that I averaged 37 miles a gallon with me being emptied. It took me nearly 15 hrs to get here due to slow down in Cincinnati, which averages the speed out to 60 miles an hour. I was running with traffic and...

I also have the reflux issue, but mine will go away after dropping 40 pounds. I just tried one of these recliners out at a Gander store. It was very comfortable, but I was afraid it might not be for long periods of time. If the air mattress fizzles, then I would definitely look into one. The...

I got a good one, she doesn't mind a tree.

Wow, I have not seen a reply like that on here before. You just made my day. I know there are a lot of learning curves ahead, but I am persistent and I don't give up easily. I learn from my mistakes and I don't make the same one twice. I listen and observe everything, and I never think I can...

Good morning people. Again, great advice and thoughts, much appreciated. I used to be a cop, but then realized I liked people to much to do that job. Left there and worked personal protection for a CEO and traveled all over the world until getting injured and having my hip replaced...

Thanks for all the good advice. I am a big guy, so I plan on getting one of those double extremely cold sleeping bags and a thick rug to put my feet down on first thing in the morning. Down the road, I want to set up a dual bank of batteries with an inverter. I love to read, so I don't need...

Thanks LDB, we hope so. The other thing I am hoping for is to be able to trade this van in on a 170 sprinter that we can have a berth area when the wife comes out. I don't mind struggling and roughing it, but a whole another ballgame when she comes on board. It is just my hopes down the road...

I am typing with my wife right now, so I can come on here a little more often. I really have been reading and following everyone's post. I know about the downtime and about the areas that you will find yourself stuck in being new. I also have a buddy that has been doing this for a long time...

Thanks Xiggi. I was hoping you would be one of the first to reply, you always seem to try to keep it nice, LOL. I have checked out all those things, but right now, I have to prove to mama there is money to be made, so going to be using the air bed and cooler, and things like that to start off...

Hello to you all. I have not been on here for a couple of years, but I have been reading and following, because I have a friend in the business, and I still thought I would like to make a go of it. Here is what I did and what I plan on doing, so bear with me. I purchased a new 2014 Promaster...

Wow Turtle. I have been reading on here and have been impressed with your knowledge about the expediting, but HOLY CRAP, is there anything that you don't know about????? Lmao, it sounds like you were Dr. Atkin's assistant when this all first took place. I also agree with what you said about...

You can get all the info you need online for free. There are also multiple low carb websites that give you all kinds of ideas and recipes. The most important factor if you decide to try this diet, is you have to take in only 5 net carbs from things other than veggies per day. I usually use...

I have lost 90 lbs on Atkins in about 6 months. I stay on the induction phase because I like it. After the first two to three weeks, you stop craving carbs and you have way more energy. The carbs make you feel bloated. When you eat this way, you never feel bloated after a meal, but you...

Thanks for the info C21exp, but I was concerned about the costs of maintaining a sprinter to a cargo van, that was the reason for the Ford. I found one listed for 14,995 and it looked in great shape. I did see that post on here, and also read the replies that went along with it. Zorry, I sent...
