    Creditcards and Small Business

    I have no idea of what the New Laws are pertaining to Chapter 11. You used to be able to file on Monday, have it dismissed/discharged on Friday and file another on the following Monday. As far as 18 calls a day, if a Creditor calls a second time, get their name & Company name. Federal law allows...

    I need help

    Two things I would like to say. #1 if this "young man" has never been taken to the cleaners by friend or stranger hopefully he will learn something from it. #2 I do not understand the over abundance of trucks that carry "cheap freight" Who sets the price? The carrier or the Company calling for a...

    During home time, how safe is your truck?

    This has nothing to do with the safety end. It's addressed to the Canoeist in the group. I have a "Old Towne" canvas canoe circa around 1925. It needs restoration, some wood work & new canvas. Some where around my humble little shanty I have the original owners manual from Old Towne. If someone...

    You might want to send your letter to the Attorney General of the state the Carrier is in, as long as you have some type of proof you told the Carrier up front about your Knee.

    sprinter to ford/chevy

    Tire wise, I will not purchase "Good Year" again. when I'm home I do a lot of driving on County=gravel roads. I have had about every tire made from China or South America. At least five different tire dealers. Never got more then 18,000 miles before the tire starts shedding chunks of rubber. So...

    Is getting hazmat worth it?

    $150.00-$200.00 for a Haz Mat test in Michigan? The State must really be hurting for funds. In Missouri there is no charge for the test, plus you can take as many tests as you need to pass.

    sprinter to ford/chevy

    Good morning, I live off a Gravel road & ten ply tires are a must. A GOOD tire shop & Ford can best tell you what size to use. Plus make sure it's a TRUCK tire not a passenger tire of the same size. I would ask the former owner about the "Cam Shaft Sensor" Ford has a recall on them & will...

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    This question is more or less in the same Vane. I'm sure it's some where in the HOS regulations, I would rather try here first. A friend with a class A CDL will be moving his own equipment, Farm Tractor & Backhoe on a 36' detachable trailer. Pulled by a Kenworth twin screw day tractor.. My...

    Finally a carrier that works for their cut!

    First I apologize for the error on 10 hours instead of 11. What I am having trouble understanding is-the HOS Say's 60 hours in 7 days you must park for 34 hours. 70 hours in 8 days also must park. 60 hours in 7 days is about (I think) 8 hours and 45 minutes of driving time. 60 hours divided by 7...

    Nations Express........

    It would seem to me.The first post praising Nations can be taken more ways then one. I can say I do three loads a week in a Cargo Van @ $1.45 per mile. What I don't have to say is, each is a 30 mile "mini".

    Finally a carrier that works for their cut!

    Four Thousand nine hundred and thirty five miles in ten days. If I understand the HOS rules, a driver is allowed to drive 10 hours in a 14 hour period then must be off the road for 10 hours. 4,935 miles in ten days averages out to 493.5 miles per day or just under 50 MPH average. I would think...

    TriState & Caterpillar

    For crazynuf, How does the Carrier, any Carrier pay for Lights, Taxes, building maintenance, employee payroll, insurance,? If that's not over head, what is overhead. I clearly don't know much about this business, but I seriously doubt Expediting is a secondary income for Panther, Tri State, Fed...
