    Well. Still waiting for that insurance policy CRA found me. (Canadian IRS) as usual I confused them. No fear, they absolutely don't know what the .... they are doing. Did get them to admit they screwed up...maybe this year they'll get to fixing 2012 taxes? Maybe? Got my orientation over...

    Should we as expediters be paid more or less for being on call 24/7 and driving in all types of weather than the office staff sleeping in their own bed at night (lol) or the local drivers that do the same? For me, the 70c thing triggered a move to local

    Dare I say any offer under $1 should be ignored? What year is it? How much does a new van cost as opposed to 10 years ago? Has insurance gone up or gone down? If you have a residence, have your costs gone up for utilities and taxes or gone down? If you rent, has it gone down? Is your food cheaper?

    Rates and Rants

    This would qualify as a rant more than rate... Interesting developments across the border here...i know at least 2 companies being forced to put fleet insurance on their O/O or they can't bid...interesting way to solve the insurance question! Anybody seen that yet in USA? Personally I want to...

    I'm just floored by the idea that you can refuse a price and they call back later and give you what you wanted. Why didn't they offer that first?!? Games waste time. And I know the answer is some drivers will say yes = more money for the carrier

    Expedite is awesome, that's why we do it. The desire to get out is understandable, but there's nothing checking the carriers from making an extra buck on you (save the magic word no) or bidding on stuff they know they can't do and taking a cut as it passes thru their fingers I solved the...

    Looking for Carrier that will take on a 06 Sprinter

    Ah thank you. Explains my 30 day pay sheet of another driver working for the carrier I'm going to.

    2500 miles in a Ford Transit, a sprinter fans take.

    I still want a diesel 3500 Promaster but paid careful attention to your experience. I've got the manuals for your transmission...and the engine...both are proven in Europe but since we can't rely on their service network I'm holding off until I understand them, mechanically The Fords are good...

    Looking for Carrier that will take on a 06 Sprinter

    I dunno, I'm Canadian and they don't need me. I started a Rates and Rants in the soapbox, so I don't hijack any more threads. Post why there...you don't have to name names...

    Ok. Think we need a thread to vent. (Well I do) Last year was awesome, this year a race to the bottom. What gives? Apparently consumer confidence is at its highest since xxx Lots of people say don't expect more than 70c. I've got all the work I could possibly do at 1.20 +. Doesn't matter where...
