Well, I do agree that people knock the Sprinter because of preference, or because it's from Europe. I don't. I actually looked into getting one. Problem is, I couldn't justify the expense for what income it would bring. But just because a vehicle is successful in Europe doesn't mean it will...

Hi. I see you are in New York. Yes, plenty of courier companies that do local / regional deliveries accept cars. Just google the metro area you are in and the word courier. That should give you plenty of places to start. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

I had a Ford cargo van. A gasser at that with the old straight 6 in it. I sold it at 370,000 miles. I did need to replace the bearings at just under 200,000. That was part fluke breakdown and part my ignorance. It was not necessarily a fault of the manufacturer. But after the rebuild it...

Basically, most of what they have attracted are people shipping personal items. Many didnt like the truth that they got from local delivery companies and put it up for bid. One lady wanted to have a upright piano moved 125 miles. She replied to one bidding company that she only had $150 to...

Well, they do have a trial. Just look for DEMO on the front page. It lets you see real available loads without shipper info. If you find three loads under 20,000 lbs in the country, that is exeptional. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

This may seem off topic, but when I started working on my own, I found that I really needed to have my ducks in a row. You won't be able to market yourself off an old company's reputation. You have to build one yourself. That takes time. I moved from Tampa to Orlando over the new year. In...

TV, I replied on your EO mailbox. For everyone else, I basically just told these guys that you must know what you can and can't charge due to what the market can bear. If I choose to give out actual numbers I have used at some point, I will probably keep that off the board. It has been my...

Just to let you know, Fedex, UPS, and DHL do NOT have the air freight market sown up. In fact, all of them are pretty recent at entering into the heavyweight freight forwarding market. UPS bought out the old Emery/Menlo to get in, and DHL bought out Danzas and Exel to get into it. Here are a...

Having been involved with the air freight side of the freight industry, I would say that the difference is, not all of air freight is expedited freight, but some of it is. In air freight, the expedited freight side is generally used by the terms EUV, or exclusive use vehicle. Sometimes the air...

About 8 years ago, I was living in California and working for a local courier/freight company. (B_Unit) I was asked to help transfer some goods at the Toshiba laptop division in Irvine overnight. When I arrived at the scheduled time of 10PM, they were not ready to begin. I was offered to kick...

“Oklahoma borders six other states, and our farmers often need to cross those state lines,†Boren said. “I am hearing from farmers across my district who are already facing fines from these regulations that were never meant to apply to them in the first place.â€...

One thing is for certain: Environmentalists will NEVER be happy with the oil companies. They compalin about the pollution. Then they complain about the oil companies getting a tax credit for trying to do something about the pollution. You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't! Drive...

The difference in mileage comes from Household Movers Guide, or HHM. Basically it works by air miles, or "as the crow flies" rather than practical truck route. Most likely using Rand McNally software. If you have a laptop or GPS on board, I would punch up the door to door route before...
