That's what they say... well, some of them, but so far nobody asked me to leave the parking lot...

Which truck stop does not allow cargo vans?

I think it would be much better if the truckstops were offering a power outlet for each parked truck or van. I wouldn't mind to pay, let's say ten bucks a day for heating my truck. This way the idling might be reduced practically to zero, considering the money one throws away for the fuel burned...

Happy Birthday!

There are some carriers that'll accept that, but from my own experience I can tell you that's not a great deal. If you are, let's say with three carriers, there are great chances that all three will call you for the same load and you'll end up getting it from the one that had the lowest bid. No...

Ask them 100 if you wanna get 50... ask for 200 if you wanna get 100... got the idea? ;)

Which branch, the local deliveries or expediting (48 states)?

Best wishes on your Birthday!

I wouldn't fall for that either... ;)

The first ProMaster (now 120,000 mi) did it four times so far, the second van, beside three bulbs within two weeks, I had to change the whole light part. And as you complain about the squeaking brakes, so does the second. From the very first day. I took it to several Ram shops and they claim...

Any problems with the headlights so far?

I know, but my drivers want miles, not empty promises... :(

Well said, Turtle!

It's been been quite a while since I quit driving for peanuts, so of course, my question was not where I can find carriers that pay 60-70 cpm. Nor 80. And yes, to bad that Load 1 doesn't take Sprinters anymore... been trying to get there since Nov '13...

I guess you're right... but it was worth a try...

Howdy y'all Currently I have my Sprinters leased with two larger carriers (since I was unable to afford the astronomical insurance prices requested by Progressive/CIS when I was working with small carriers), but the miles offered by them are lately decreasing dramatically. Well, it's not that...

A small company, if they have good contracts, will keep you busy most of the time. But as I mentioned before, there will be less money per mile and time for rest. And most of them won't pay for deadheads or relocations.

Finished that today... but instead of a fine glass of bourbon, I "enjoy" Theraflu, Vicks and Robitussin... :(

It looks like everybody is bored...

From what I've learned, working with small companies might be a killer. Sometimes they get long runs (I'm talking about 1500+ miles run) with little time to stop for a nap, and all for little money (70-80 cents before split). So, if you wanna try it out, go for a fleet owner that works with...
