    Please tell me what y'all think about C & M

    There are quite a few companies (major companies)that pay for the cargo and loaded liability insurance, while the o/o is required to pay the unladen/bobtail and physical damage to the vehicle insurance.

    Solo Drivers.......is it worth it?

    But how many times has a van been pulled over and dot'd? A few, I'm sure, but not many.And as far as looking unsafe,My DOT freind has always told me the #1 reason for a vehicle getting pulled around back is because of lack of cleanliness, and excessive crap on the dashboard.The reason they do...

    Relocating to Houston, just wondering!

    It sounds like to me a cargo van may be a good fit for your needs, based on what you want.The fact that you have virtually no debt is a big help.There is a strong possibility for you to make decent money out here, as far as I'm concerned.After finally finding the rightcompany to lease on...
