If you're $0.85 coming out, you should be getting $1.15 going in. Look at what Moot posted. His $1 a mile is typical for most larger carriers. If averaged on a 40 hour week, he's getting paid $8.12 an hour. $325 a week is good pay, compared to the $290 that a $7.25 an hour minimum wage job gets...

Very few carriers will lease on anyone with more than two moving violations within the previous three years (the reasoning is, you got caught twice, but how many times did you NOT get caught?). You're carrying the insurance on your vehicle and the freight, but the carrier has their own insurance...

I really, really wanted to use that argument once (since "parent" is from the Latin parēns, and 12th century Old French parere, which means to bring forth, breed) but political correctness has, in very recent years, managed to get inserted into the lexicon of definitions for "parent", that of "a...

That's the fallacy right there. They're doing more, and they're making good money, so the perception is they're not only doing it the smarter and right way, but that they're making more doing it. The fallacy is the notion that multiple brokers each have access to different bid boards and e-mail...

"send this out to everyone you can", or words of a similar nature, is generally a red flag to let you know that you should do... just the opposite. Darrell Scott Testimony @ Snopes Dot Com

A link is always good so people can go and read the original source, but the story above is fully credited to Reuters. FWIW, here's an AP story that gives a little more information and with a slightly different angle. Kansas wants sperm donor pay child support

Apparently, 27.27% of the smartest people at Load I are all named Kenneth. That can't be coincidence. :D

I'm not talking about using gel batteries as cranking batteries, I'm talking about using gel batteries as a house bank, just the way you are using them. If they aren't properly charged, and monitored with a battery monitored (and a voltmeter doesn't even approach "properly"), then instead of...

For most people, a simple voltage monitor is all they need to monitor their cranking batteries, especially if they run small inverter loads off their truck batteries. Walmart has three of them, Equus Innova 3721 Battery Charging System Monitor, the Schumacher Battery Monitor, and the Everstart...

First, charging one battery from another is certainly possible. It's incredibly inefficient, but it's possible. Second, and perhaps my most important questions, why would you put gel batteries in a vehicle and then have the alternator charge them? Gell batteries are awesome for boats, but...

Water under the bridge now, but my first piece of advice would have been the same as OVM's, do not enter expediting with a Sprinter as your first time vehicle. It's just to expensive of a vehicle to learn the business and the maintenance requirement quirks of a Sprinter by trial and error. You...

It's probably safe to state that, but I don't think it's accurate. I think van business is more than welcome at the TA, it's just that they aren't actively and intelligently soliciting and courting the van business. Like I said, their program for van expediters works very well, as long as you...

Ther Sprinter-Source forum is not a sister site of EO. The EO sister site is MySprinterVan.

At Speedway? No, you don't. You scan your card at the pump and it's automatic. In fact, you don't even need the card with their new Alternate ID option, where you punch in an ID code instead of swiping the card. You can rack up points very quickly at Speedway. Buy 6 coffees, fountain drinks...

What you want are Turtle Bucks. They never decrease in value and will only appreciate. When the economy collapses it will only be Turtle Bucks that you will be able to use to survive. I'm selling and Turtle Bucks for $5.00 each.

This really shouldn't come as a surprise. Obama's presidency is based on "free stuff", and this is just a slightly higher level of "free stuff". Baraka Clause is right. It's also one of the most blatant examples of vote-buying-free-stuff that I can recall.

I always kept a spare key in my wallet. And I've used those magnetic key boxes hidden up under the frame or bumper. With the Sprinter, I always carry a spare key fob in my pocket, mainly just to quickly unlock the rear doors at pickup or delivery if I've forgotten to unlock them before I got...

These kinds of questions drive me crazy.... Which of the following is the world's hottest pepper? Jalapeno Pepper Banana Pepper Habanero Pepper Cayenne Pepper If you want to answer the question in a manner that gets you 250 points, you should answer Habanero Pepper. But that's the wrong...

She looks really hot there.

Correct. "The lease shall further specify that in no event shall the escrow fund be returned later than 45 days from the date of termination." The event that the Qualcom, BOLs, handbooks or signage didn't get turned in, or in the event of an accident, all of these would qualify as an...
