    If you could; that would be courier, not expedite Most of my deliveries don't get me back home within 24 hours Nothing wrong with courier. I've done it (before coronavirus) and made over $1000 for a quarter tank of diesel. Sadly that makes it more profitable than seeing new places Sent from...

    Decent to More than Decent requires you to live in your van. I dabble with More than Decent when I can; but if you have ties to home, that cuts into driving every waking hour for 2 weeks straight It's possible but not probable, like the lottery. 14 years in, and I have no idea what next month...

    Oh, and since you're the first I know of, to ask this age old question since Coronavirus popped up - have you taken a look around lately? Slight possibility we might have, a ....recession or something coming up Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    If you search on here, there's somebody who runs a pretty "large" small fleet. You might want to look it up... TLDR from memory he made over $100k dispatching his vans. There was a comment on how his drivers must have felt, but that's the way this business is Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk

    Just to save you the surprise, I doubt anyone will have anything positive to say. It's a tough business without a company to find you freight. I think nearly every driver here is with a company. We value our sanity (Hint: "where do you find freight" there's the little detail that should be...

    My weekly hazmat. Toronto to south of Montreal instead of north. Still zero calls except DoD and Hazmat. Which should probably be expected for a cross border driver that refused to cross the border or do retail....

    From what I see where it's less populated, nobody cares. No protection, heading to work in a cluster talking. Fortunately I won't be going out in it for a few days. Nursed the sprinter home. 140,000 miles is the fuel filter limit apparently, against the wind and uphill, foomp noise and no...

    Now a hazmat that pays well Southern Ontario to somewhere near Montreal I've never heard of. Unfortunately crossing into Quebec is similar to USA, trip inspection and HOS. Pain in the ass - but I won't complain I did turn down a good paying job today, i'd have to self load in a busy warehouse...

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    A suspected Covid-19 male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath. "Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?" Embarrassed, the young nurse replies...

    $581 for 50 miles... (150 miles from my front door back to my front door) Now for the gruelling 50 mile drive home. Hope this isn't a one-off. Applied for this work a year ago, got cleared about a month ago. Benefits of a clean record (or, benefits of never getting caught :cool: )

    Cargo Van Will we be able to work through Coronavirus?

    Ok they aren't N95's but they are masks. I'll avoid the angry looks from people after the government said to save them for medical personnel only. Probably a good thing. There's no id card for having "medically fragile" people at home Dumb people are still trying to congregate in parks...
