I ran into a Landstar driver who had a dual wheel ford with a deisel. He said it was under 10,000 lbs. and didn't have to log. This was an aerocell. I am not sure as I am just taking his word for it. The aero web site is www.unicell.com I am not sure if the larger ones are the perfect setup, but...

.I wonder how would i be able to prove he was cutting more of his share and that makes me uneasy. You should be requesting a settlement statement. If this is not provided, I would seek another company. With regards to specific amounts for certain runs; It would depend on what your contract says...

Your story is a tough one. Just like drivers, there are good and bad owners. Your individual story is hard to comment on without input from the owner. Just the same as if you had a owner complaining about drivers, you are only hearing one side. Hopefully you can find a owner in which you can...

The second quarter is usually pretty decent. You should start to see some signs of it picking up. Davekc

You could go to the dot website and see if they are listed as a carrier, or call OOIDA and see if they have heard of them. www.ooida.com Davekc owner 20 years

RE: My former employer WILL NOT pay me my back wag There are alot of great ideas listed. Labor dept might be a good place to start in addition to OOIDA. Small claims court in FL I believe is limited to a $5,000 claim. Legal aid and or bar association may be able to help you obtain council at a...

ok..............we will forgive you this time:7 Davekc

Dieseldoctor1.......that is a great setup. I don't think you can beat that bed setup. What is your opinion on the larger aerocells? Curious, as this has came up several times and you apparently did alot of research on these. Davekc

You need to locate yourself where the freight is. If you are doing that and only recieving one load for three weeks out, I would look for another company before you go broke. Davekc owner 20 years

For a standard gm van chassis, Terry has probably got one of the nicest that I have seen. For the aero cell dealers, I will refer you to this link. www.unicell.com Hope that helps, or gives you something to compare. Davekc

I agree, what a nightmare!! Keep us posted on your situation. I hope this all turns out well for you. Davekc

The Areocells are built in Buffalo NY. Sounds like you have already convinced yourself to go with a Sprinter. With regards to the Areocell, they build them on Ford or GM chassis. They are under 10,000 lbs if speced correctly. Only concern with Sprinter is they seem to be problematic and...

If you do the airbag route as listed by LaPurr you would still have to add the landing gear if a tow motor is to enter the truck. Many of the plants (especially union ones) will require a visual to make sure you have them. and they are down for loading and unloading. Outside of that it would be...

As far as vans, Sprinters have more room and better economy, but are more expensive on the front end. If you haven't already, check out the areocells. Something inbetween a stock chassis (Ford or GM) and the Sprinter With regards to location with your choices, Atlanta first, followed by St...

I thought it was pretty funny myself Davekc

Re; Get_Ready2 Unless you are very experienced dealing with brokers only, I would go to a company that allows you to do both. Panther would be your best bet in that regard. They help you find some of the brokers in addition to handling the collections. They charge 15 percent of the brokered run...

RE: dieseldoctor are you still runnig your Aerocel Sounds high. Whatever the stock mpg is on a chassis, subtract 1 or 2 mpg and you are probably closer to reality. Terry may have alittle more insight on this than I. Davekc owner 20 years
