    Difficulty with insurance

    For T/T is cheaper because there are tons of insurers, while for expediters not so many. That's why they rip us off. I don't know if Benchmark covers for TN, but you should give it a try. They're way cheaper than CIS...

    insurance

    CIS was once the best place to get a reasonable price. Not anymore. Try Benchmark, but I don't know if they cover trucks from Illinois... Anyway, if that $5000/year includes the cargo insurance too, take it!

    One Man Fight to Save the Expedited Trucking Industry

    From my POV, I don't think we actually care that much about others safety, as much as we care about our own wallet. I don't know how much illegally they run, but they do runs for peanuts just to keep their wheels spinning...

    ATTN All owners/fleet owners & carriers

    I was just trying to give you an idea... of course there are specifications. As a matter of fact I had this problem with a guy, he worked almost two weeks, then the third week he used my truck for his own interest, refusing to return the truck. He did it only when he heard the word "police"...

    ATTN All owners/fleet owners & carriers

    How about when the contract states clearly that "if the driver does not return the truck within X days at a specific location, it'll be considered stolen vehicle and the authorities will be informed", and he signed for that?

    Bad truck or bad driver?

    I know that, I've been through that years ago... no, this time they're from different places, but the very first repair, that almost $600 brake repair, it was from his neighborhood, I presume he was helping the local community... anyway, to burn a two months old starter sounds like...

    Bad truck or bad driver?

    Back in Nov. last year, one of my drivers took my 2014 ProMaster to a shop to fix the front brakes (at 80,000 mi), which repair costed me almost 600 bux. Yes, I know it was way too much, I got mad not just because of the price, but because he did it without my approval, which according to the...
