    bijan, the expedite business is indeed slow. the best suggestion is to find: 1. a company that you can work with and thru. remember they work for you. 2. find an owner who can get you a good truck and mentor you at the same time. 3. plan to run as a team to optimize the equipment. good paying...

    ooida has an excel spreadsheet for you to determine fixed and general costs. 65 cents sounds low to me since that is close to my number in a van. maybe it is right. there are many other things to do than expedite with a tractor. containers come to mind. schneider has an intermodal div that...

    Load weight for Vans

    1. weigh your van with you and a full tank of fuel. 2. look at the driver side door jam for a metal plate. this should state the vehicles gross vehicle weight rating(GVWR)(if not on the door jam then in your owners manual) 3. subtract no. 1 from no. 2 and that is the legal you can carry. it...

    enough of the bs

    the reason you didn't get the frt but a strt truck did.... 1. you are not dock high 2. either the shipper or receiver do not have a ramp any way you cut it you chose the truck to drive and live within its limitations. like layout posted they are set up for a variety of frt. vans are not.
