Funny. I saw your message in an email, but it's not on the website or the app. The border sticker from dtops can be edited by the owner of the vehicle. Any company can take posession, with an explanation as to why, and it is free. The fact that I own the vehicle and plates (and can provide...

Screw it. I'll work for both. He with the best deal wins. I'll begin by taking possession of my border crossing sticker (free, and totally within my rights as I paid for it and own the van/plates) (Edit: does that make me a multi? Should do something with my 2 million commercial insurance...

+1 Happy Birthday!!! So. Being off for a week, the new corporate unionized hybrid bullspeak has me "demoted" from expedite. (You aren't allowed to take time off without 2 weeks advance approval, maintenance must be booked ahead by the same amount, breakdowns must be given notice of at least 3...

Yeah. That Its a stranglehold on existing freight. Its true, shippers don't want to send valuable freight with Billy Bob trucker

Rainy day so no sprinter tinkering on my self imposed vacation. Time to look at straights for sale online, and not buy one again

Are there no decent carriers left that don't make you jump thru hoops for the privilege of taking all the expenses on yourself to deliver their freight? I can't make it up the stairs without taking a nap after Edit: never mind. Probably nothing else would make men go see their doctor. I know...

Just waiting for an app to challenge the load board system. He who actually does the work should be taking the biggest cut. Not always the case after it filters down thru a few carriers Now this DOES look like it may challenge uShip, I got rid of uShip in disgust when I saw what the public...

Jeez for all that hassle I'd just buy a straight (and go no farther than 4 hours from home)

That's key. My FSC paid my fuel completely when I was driving on natural gas. People can't switch overnight, they have to pay off existing equipment

Turned down a nice load to Georgia for being 3300. My weight is 3050 no exceptions. They were a little confused

We sometimes forget there are those in the industry that see more than the next bonus...

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I get what you're saying (I think) regardless of how many loads I double or triple up on, fuel is my biggest expense. By your logic, the new motor would be 80 mpg for 6 skids :D (Sometimes, nearly $1500 for 360 miles and I...

In the van world, 3 lbs or 3 skids pays the same I move a lot of 3 lb boxes, but my mpg only goes from 20 to 22

Hey, if it makes financial sense I'm ready to drop cash. I'm really frustrated to be driving a 13 year old van, just because its better. Long range electric or double the fuel mileage, both would qualify, it just has to pay for itself in fuel bill savings ...

In other news, some university researchers have figured out how to tame emissions without exhaust after treatment; lost the link, I may post it here, that was pretty significant Ok, new link that's more up to date Diesel with no NOx emissions? It may be possible, and coming soon Edit: that's...

Above my pay grade. I have an 8550 gvw, the times in the past I have enquired, I'm told it isn't necessary (authority) altho no conventional carriers will deal with you without one as a true independent

Authority under 10,000 lbs? And I pay my own insurance. They require 2 million I dunno. I did it for several weeks last year crossing the border without issue. Did have magnetic signs tho, I would cover the decals for independent work Edit: 2016, its 2018. Man I'm scatterbrained today Could...

Clarification appreciated. Although I am decaled, I have the right to take freight on my own as I see fit. Anything else would make me a dependent contractor...i hope none of the motor carriers out there are attempting to hold exclusive rights to a driver without treating the tax situation as...

Was gonna suggest they deleted dpf but yeah...no lol
