I find it most interesting that those who scream, insult, and protest about my supposed lack of "tolerance" are, without exception, completely intolerant of my beliefs and opinions. I really like Dr. Benjamin Carson's statement that "Political Correctness" has gone way too far. Let everyone...

If the driver has a CDL, its no logs, red tag, & bad FMCSA points on the carrier. If the driver doesn't have a CDL, the officer may shoot you & roll you into a ditch. :beer:

You could add they the don't speak English or understand American road signs but then you would have to include OVM too!!! :D

I can tell you for a fact that they do NOT hold their GVWR to under 10,000 lbs. Practically all of the are really rated 12,300 lbs. by Chevy, even though every one of them have "under 10,000 GVW" cheap vinyl stick on letters/numbers on the door. And even though they weigh close to 8,000 lbs...

You also get "points" for diesel purchases, but I believe, NOT for gas purchases.

I would say, under the terms and conditions as you've listed, that it is going to be very tough to find a carrier that runs the way you want to. However if you like driving old yellow vehicles and speak Russian, you may be able to find a job in Chicago.

I haven't had any of the super heavy loads thrown at me BUT they are almost all over 2,000 lbs. which used to be $1.00 a mile, now $0.80 a mile. Just lost another $160 to the new rate, probably averaging a loss of $300 a week. But it makes a lot of sense - do the math - 333 trucks x $300 a...

I'm pretty sure he would have been talking about Express-1's Sprinter rate, which was cut from $1.00 per mile to $0.80 per mile, both plus a fuel surcharge added. This rate does not change as its a flat rate, period. I cannot speak with authority about Load-1's compensation, but I am fairly...

Actually, I weighed her Sunday. She' at 5,820 without the back door but with the floor. She'll be over 6,000 finished but not by a lot. I can live with that.

Obviously you never invested in a good sawzall or plasma cutter! :D

You will do it easily.

If you read my other posts, you would know I do not believe in "run less miles for even less money." I'll make no such request. :thumbdown:

I never used Load-1 tools in any way. It was ANOTHER carrier OTHER than Load-1. Their "search for equipment" tool no longer works at all. I sense they may not see any value in it. Load-1 COULD set up another password protected tool just for their drivers which would be useful I am certain.

We could also see the size & weight capacities of each to determine if we could carry significantly larger and/or heavier loads to help us decide the need to move. The only information that would have been of additional value would be fields for haz-mat and solo/team (E-1 will not allow solos...

There WAS a "search for equipment" tool has was on another carrier's web site that was very useful because we could see truck numbers. In concert with the QualComm, it enabled us to see where NOT to go. If the QualComm told us there was 4 trucks in Louisville ahead of us for instance, by using...

I think new Sprinters will pretty much go extinct within a year because of the new Ford, Fiat, & Nissan. MB simply cannot compete with the cost-like-sin Sprinter.

I think it is probably 75 miles. I think we are on the same system.

Our fleet vision and settlement appear normal this week.

I really think it is Verizon or poor/slow data.

There are inexpensive signal amplifiers available. I think I still have one somewhere around here. It consists of an antenna that you mount as high as you can facing the tower that serves you, about 40' of coax, and a transmitter you place in an optimal location in your home. The farther...
