    Why expedite if you have a CDL?

    Money for a employee is good with big truck, if it works for you. Vans can return good money with the right setup, for a O/O. There are broke vanners, and big rig shoes.

    Why expedite if you have a CDL?

    It’s kinda a life style choice, for over the road. Wife will not drive a big truck, so no brainier for me. I maintain my class A with all the endorsements but passenger, just in case.

    Ran a Byhalia, MS to Tuscaloosa, AL, Friday. Had a relaxing weekend, got the chores done. Now waiting to load a Little Rock, AR to Phoenix, AR. No contact name, big multiple buildings, freight delayed, still no contact........ hope this works out. Loaded pay all miles was the hook we bit.

    Just started, questions about van life (Ram Promaster 2500)

    Sleeping with your head in the sleeping bag is a big no no. The bag gets all the moisture from you breathing, cools, then freezes, not good! Generators are not a good source for heating, but if that’s your thing, it’s better then wearing out the engine. Espar type heater, will pay for itself in...

    Cargo Van Hometime

    Where you live, you might be able to get close that kind of schedule. For sure there will limits, that might make it hard to be profitable. Your own van, (long and tall) and a larger or the right small carrier, look at all the overhead cost real close. The van market is crazy, loads to van ratio...

    MT at the J in Woodhaven, MI. Listened to what I figured was a injector knock, down to El Paso, and back to Chicago. Drove to Wyane’s shop Monday morning, not a sound other than the normal engine rattling! Was quite running to TN,then north to drop. Kind of a head scratcher, but happy about it.
