BTW, did we not already run this exact same thread to death less than two months ago? Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

Well, there is a big difference in making (grossing) a million dollars vs. netting or even saving a million. I can't think of anyone I've met in any field whose net worth is over a million, who got it while working for someone else, whether employed or by exclusive contract. The millions come...

So how many abandoned Mexican trucks do you think we'll start finding when they start coming across? It sure beats crawling through a hole in the fence and running from the Border patrol. Just a thought......... Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

ABC, American Body Company. I almost bought a truck with an ABC box. I was warned by a freight forwarder of how their ABC box leaked incessantly, and didn't buy that one. You might just chaeck a good trailer repair shop and see what they would quote you to fix it right. It may be chaeaper...

Also, when we see a LTL company offering expedited deliveries, there are a few things to remember: 1. The word expedite really just means to be faster than normal, 2. LTL companies do call expedited carriers to deliver for their customers when they require same-day door-to-door delivery (can...

I'd have to agree with Greg. Commercial/ Fleet vehicles are generally white. Cheaper to produce, more versatile for company logos. BTW, my truck is.......W H I T E. Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

Hey everyone. I'm going to offer a slightly different point of view from some of you. As some of you know, I am NOT an OTR expediter. I do however, make my living running local and regional "Hotshot" delivery, in and out of a major city. I work with freight forwarders, as well as trucking...

Ok, if American carriers start sending sending its O/O's into Mexico, can you imagine how much your insurance will increase? I've been to Mexico a few times, and driving there is total chaod. Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

The main problem is finding a carrier who will accept this vehicle. Most want you to be able to haul 2000 or 2500 in a cargo van. I have owned a 1/2 ton 6 cyl. before. Great lightweight van, but the legal max you could haul after all your stuff will probably be about 1600 lbs. In my opinion...

I have mine on the roll up door, at the bottom, right about the same height as the latch handle. I wouldn't mind a less "thick" version to put in the corner of my driver side window. Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

RE: I need massive feedback from long-time cargo v Blizzard, I currently own an E450 cube. 158"WB with 14ft box. I run local/regional hotshot type delivery. A 450 will definitely allow you much more weight capacity, but you will have to log with a 450. Also, it is a heavier chassis. More...

DTH Expediters is an Atlanta based outfit that seems to specialize in both local and OTR expedited freight. http://www.dthx.net/ Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

>Buy foreign but do not complain when you have less loads to >haul. Sorry Ace, but I beg to differ. If you are hauling less loads because of people buying Toyotas, it is due to your carrier only hauling for the Big 3. It has nothing to do with Japanese companies killing expedited freight...

Hi. You say it is leased to a carrier already? Just make sure that it's leased to them as a solo, and not as a team truck. Some carriers aren't taking on solos due to current Hours of Service rules. Some will. Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

Hey Night, Is that Days Inn closer to airport side, port side or downtown? Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 Drive Safe! Jeff

Ah yes, Irvine. I used to live there. If you want a place to hang for the evening that is easy for truck parking, just check ou the Irvine Spectrum, at the crossroads of I-5 and I-405. Dave and Busters is always hopping for food and entertainment, plus there is a movie theater there. If you...

Anyone have any pics of a Ford E-series with a sleeper? E350 or E450? I've actually seen a couple F series trucks with a sleeper, but they were pullin' a gooseneck trailer. Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years Drive Safe! Jeff

RE: How many of us are hauling at reduced rates an Hey Rolln, Another question for you: What kind of deadhead percentage are you running? That plays in a lot. Sometimes your smaller carriers can't pay out the biggers bucks, but they many times watch their trucks closer so they have less...

Well, actually you can send faxes with efax, but only on the paid version. Not sure of the cost these days. And yes, you do get a confirmation email that the fax was successful, or whether it failed. At least it does with MyFax. Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years Drive Safe! Jeff
