    The next stage of life.... or .. Moving On.

    You've done a great job here, and you should be proud of that. I really feel sorry for whoever takes your place.

    What are you talking about? I didn't assume anything. Are you implying that I am clueless about Rainbow Confederates or something? I suppose. But if that's somehow directed at me, you really have no idea what you're talking about. I don't even know what that means. Is your name that shocking or...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    There's a reason a carrier will pay a flat rate - it's because they make more money in the long term than they will at a percentage. Flat rate pricing is always arrived at because it's a rate that is at the lower end of the load rates (in other words, most loads would pay the truck slightly...

    Is CARB regulation in jeopardy?

    I doubt it, since CARB has a special exemption from the EPA authority which allows California to set their own standards separate from any federal regulations.

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    Whomever's authority you are running under will have to deal with the insurance issues, and the liability in the event of an accident, a service failure, or if you up and disappear with the load never to be heard from again. Most carriers don;t want to deal with it, regardless of how educated...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    Was this transportation company an expedite company? Actually, Panther lets you bid on your own loads. They will take 15% for insurance and authority. For every Godsend, there are 25 nightmares. Seriously. Some are blind, some are more auction style. With some you place your bid and you...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    Why do you think that? Is it because you don't get a load every day? The incentive for every carrier is to get every one of their trucks loaded every day. To think yours forgot about you, or would prefer to let you sit, doesn't make financial sense for the carrier. The fact is, cargo vans will...

    Still have to have the proper insurance, though, if you obtained the load from a carrier or a broker.

    This administration isn't involved in that case, and the reason it didn't take long is because that's an old story from like 2 years ago.

    Then you believe in far too much. The Confederate flag is pure racism. You posted the Rainbow version of the Confederate flag. That's tbe gay version of pure racism, and stating that gays CAN Be racist isn't even remotely insulting to an individual or an entire group, unless someone is looking...

    There are a surprising number of actual expediters out here on the road who talk just like that. But, the phrasing combined with the bizarre, redundant announcement of where he's from, caused me to take a look at his IP address. Anyone joining up and posting with an overseas IP address is not...

    Yeah, he's gone. Says he's from the USA, but his computer is in India. He'll just have to "meet good information" someplace else.

    Espar in cargo van

    I have exactly 108 (9 feet) inches long for cargo. So, 2 skids. It's rare that I miss out on a load because I can't haul 3 skids, and then don't get a 1 or 2 skid load, instead. If 2 vans are sitting there and a 2-skid load and a 3-skid load comes up, they're not gonna give the 2-skid load to...

    Espar in cargo van

    Crack a side window and get the fan turning on high and you get a nice breeze through there. But basically, I sweat a lot.

    Espar in cargo van

    I have the D4. The biggest between the D2 and the D4 is when the D4 is running on Low or Medium the D2 would be running on Medium or High. The D2 puts out the same BTUs as the D4 when the D2 is one level up. However, the D4 has a 100mm (3.936996 inches) diameter hose and the D2 only has a 75mm...
