I think I have too much freedom, one delivery a week...

Here I am a Canadian, been to 16 states but never west of my own province

Lol. It'd be more entertaining just to read u guys back n forth :p Waiting on freight...

Ive been home for a week. What day is it? No idea :p I'll take your word for it

Well, got it. Shorty, but I'll take it. Time to get my crap organized in the back, these guys use all my space Edit: had a great conversation with FlyingVan, I'm beginning to think he's right about straights.

Ooh, a load offer...

Wow I just saw hotels. Need another driver?:D (Kidding)

There ya go

Ah I see where you're going. Could have saved the hassle leasing those vans to a carrier, and spared his family the hassle. So he's not a driver, was able to do his regular work, pay off 4 vans in about a year, makes nearly 20% profit (although I didn't see the van payments in those numbers) I...

Just thank god someone posted numbers instead of treating it like a trade secret. Thank you for the post! If your drivers are happy and you cleared over $100k of course its good. Sure you could work on bringing up revenue per mile in the future, but very few "new to expedite" have accomplished...

Yay! My pay stub got emailed. I OWE money :confused2: So glad I came back in January

I'd have to agree with blizzard 2014 AND BigStickJr. Never had a claim in 9 years of shlepping turbine blades, and I don't know what would have caused a loss (other than a vehicle burning to the ground) I've had up to $2 million dollars worth of them in an E350, fortunately my carrier covered...

And when they get really desperate - anybody. I still have 2 Landstar BOL from being with a brand new company on Sylectus; memory is foggy, but I think it was approved by Landstar to be brokered out by their partner carrier, one of those glorious runs where I'm not keeping 1 carrier updated...

-55 degrees in Chicago with wind chill. Was that a typo? If not, I've got nothing to complain about -48 in Ottawa was the coldest I ever experienced Edit: not a typo Chicago sets its train tracks on fire when it's this cold - CNN

I agree. Spending that money, I had a few bad ones (rushed techs). Surprisingly the string alignment, favored by many racing teams, is just as accurate (done correctly). Toe only, camber / caster I have a manual tool thats only valid on a properly leveled shop floor That's why I was hoping you...

Nice! Did you by chance get a look at the alignment machine / tools they used? I had issues even getting my E350 done in Ohio, at least at the local shops ($90 for those that could) I've been doing my own string alignments for the last several years, not on the sprinter yet tho. That'd be a...

Buying a 12 v fridge such as a Dometic makes this easy. I'm 5'11" and 260, that's a good 25 lbs lighter than the little ceasars deep dish / pilot pizza days. How hard is it to find a walmart lol. Dometic keeps the salads edible, or whole chickens. Toss the dressing out the window Dometic fits...

I think the pay scale has as much to do with it as the individual. Why pay per mile? Against a clock, just encourages cheating. You can say I get paid per mile, but it's just a way of measuring. My run, my time, my choice how to complete. 12 hours or 36, it's under my control, and my carrier...

Still one run this month. Lots of time to reflect. Like how I wanted 5 kids :JC-hysterical: Ended up with 4 girls and it's a madhouse (Pro tip: try 1 first)
