Pat: I know CTX used to use pick-up trucks, but I don't know anyone else who does.. I have seen CTX signs on 4 door crew cab trucks, and once in Detroit, even on a little Ford Ranger. I would contact them directly and query as to whether they still accept them, and what the requirements are...

When I was running in a van, we had 1" plywood bolted to a 1" square steel frame, which also extended out in an "h" shape to make the bedframe. I also found a hinged 6"x8" cut-out door in the middle of the wall, made it handy to "eyeball" the load without going outside and around the van. I had...

RE%3A Unicell on E-350 chassis --

To say that shock was reigning supreme here in Columbus Ohio today, is an understatement. The news reporters were outside the Consolidated Freightways yard as word spread mouth to mouth among drivers, and they starting pulling up to the yard to find it barricaded. With no warning to drivers...

What direction do you live from Columbus? I live about 40 minutes south and ran about a year in a van for FedEx CC before I changed to a D-Unit. I don't know for sure how it is with other companies, but I never had a problem getting a load out of here. I got a lot from the Chillicothe to...

Didn't know how many we could submit, but here's a few I thought of... Expediters: Saving the Day, Every Day! Expediters: There 4 U, 24/7 Expediters: When you need it NOW! Expediters: When minutes count! Expediters: We go, to keep you going! Expediters: When you needed it YESTERDAY...

Ok... now that I have your attention... LOL.. I always knew someone would go too far with the SUV concept some day... check out the concept SUV's at this site... **sigh** ... I could get the groceries in STYLE!! LOL http://poseur.4x4.org/futuresuv.html Dreamer :) :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

LOL...you're allowed a max of 6 "occurences"....so most folks just take a few days at a time, being a utility co, they really need people alert on the job, not feeling sick, or "high" on cold/flu medicine....it's kind of a nice thing to know you can take the time you need with out losing money.:)

Well...my view doesn't change everyday, but I'm warm in the winter, cool in the summer...LOL I now work for a utility company in Columbus Ohio. Decent pay, they pay benefits for me and my family, 2 weeks vacation, paid holidays, 6 weeks sick pay, (yes 6 weeks), and actually good to their...

Just wanted to stop by the forum after being away for a while and say hi. Lawrence...love the new look and new graphics! As those who have kept in contact by email know, I lost my ride back in December, due to the owner I was driving for deciding to get out of the business. I really did...

This forum is one of the best sources I have found. Just click on "search" at the top, and put in what you're looking for!

On my last long trip, Columbus Ohio, to New Orleans Louisiana, I managed 12.77 mpg, with a 225 Cummins in a 1996 FL70. Mind you, this was straight interstate driving the whole way. I normally averaged about 10 mpg on most trips if I kept it below 65 mph.

This is the first I'd heard of it... My pay for quite a while has been that 50% up front money. The owners of the trucks, and I , have liked the fact that once I get my advance, the pay question is over, unless there is detention time or something. No figuring up percentages, making sure our...

Well folks, looks like I'm gonna be out of the business for a while. The owner I've been driving for has decided to sell all of his trucks (4) and get out of the business after many years. I just found out last week, and take my truck to Canton on Friday, Dec. 22, to get the C-Link out, then...

I agree with the previous commentor. When we are timed to get to a delivery in a certain amount of time, we don't have time to stop and try to figure out directions. The time spent finding a place to pull over, call, write down directions, check the maps to see how it looks on paper, would...

I, too, prefer to go home, keeping the shorter runs, however, staying out at least a week seems to be the preferred way. I did break my own rule this week however, running south and west of Mississipi on the same run...LOL....got suckered in by the money for that 924 mile weekend load from...

Thats what the driver gets, before fuel, taxes, etc....

You will find a wide range of rates for vans in the expedite business, 75 cents to $1.10 or highter, but the average seems to be about .90 to $1.00 per loaded mile.

Hey guys, I finally found two good ways to guarantee being offered great runs!!! It really works..... If you're at home, and you've been there all day, order pizza for delivery....the next phone call will be Dispatch. If on the road, splurge a little, stop at a nice steak restaurant, and...
