    June Lampoon:: Locations & More

    Making homemade bread after turning down a load (yesterday took 20 hours) Not posting much too busy n cranky. But catching up, what is Mr 3000? A week? A month? My old route was 4000 miles a week, did that for 9 years. Steady money, but worked out to 83c a mile gross, hence the $2000 vans and...

    I get what you thought I said :p maybe some more coffee? The fact that you had a gas station to go to, no matter what the price, instead of trees and moose lol

    Good morning from sunny Elliot Lake, Ontario (pop. 11,500) where its a balmy 42F and the skeeters are still biting. Didn't see a gas station for nearly 4 hours from the highway. I'm sure they were there :confused2: found one on google to take my fuel card an hour away...

    Hotspots and CLOUD act

    So, while aimlessly browsing on the internet, I came across something called the CLOUD act that was just passed. Wonderful that all the countries of the world share your personal information with each other without a warrant. Hotspots apparently give away your emails, banking passwords...

    Fool me once.....April is here

    Ouch! I had some complaining to do, but that blew it all right out of my head. That's more than I paid to buy my van Beautiful weather yesterday. Changed the drivebelt, air and fuel filter. Air filter was pushed up in the middle and sand poured out when removed. This one, I'll change before...

    Cargo Van Comdata Fees: Any way to avoid them?

    When will US banking come into the 90's? I remember in a brief stint with Key Bank in 2003, an "internet payment" printed a check at the cutomer bank, which was then physically collected by a person and mailed out. Made for fun and games in collections. I guess if they insist on Comdata you're...

    Fool me once.....April is here

    Yes. But the very fact that you have to ask the question suggests you don't know what's going on, so you might have problems

    Cargo Van Looking to become a fleet owner

    I know the answers. I really don't think a step by step explanation would help you, without following through on the previous advice given here. Really want a crash course? Pick up a van or 5 ton for you, start calling for freight offers, and begin the process of solving the huge pile of "but...

    New App for Sprinters & Cargo Vans

    That's why I find expedite questionable now. Friend of mine worked yesterday 7:30 to 3:30 doing locals, paid over $400, co-mingling not an issue. He was home at 3:30 and got to pretend he had a "real" job, leave in the morning and home by afternoon... You guys really drove the rates down ya...

    Yes but 300k was more thrifty. Never fear, found my trusty universal extendo wrench in my tools. The double sided tape was MB compatible

    Fool me once.....April is here

    So. I've been taken off expedite. Instead, I now can say yes or no to any delivery as I see fit with no repercussions. It will be more locals but I will be offered the expedite runs when they run out of drivers. I won't get the 400 mile run that never has a backhaul, unless absolutely...
