    Hauling Hazmat in CVs and Sprinters???

    I ceased doing that long, long time ago. As a matter of fact, to make sure they don't force me to take any HM load, I dropped the HM endorsement.

    "LATE" delivery?

    I drove a White GMC when I was in trucking school... no power steering either.

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    From Laredo I usually get runs to MI or OH. Sometimes they're shorter, it either MO or AL. But in 5 days I can have 2 long runs and believe me, I had many times 2 long runs in a five days range. For $.50 I won't even turn the engine on!

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    I don't know, maybe it is a good area now... last time when I went down there, and that was about three months ago, it took me 5 days til they got me a load...

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    Bolt claims that they pay at least 85 cents... that's what the recruiter told me about two months ago...

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    Would ya rather wait a whole week or maybe more instead of leaving same day and going to a better area? Well, now it depends how much you are paid now, but for my $.85 it's not a huge difference.

    It's that slow or what?

    Funny thing... I had an Opel Vectra back in 05. I bought it when I went to Germany, used it for my vacation then sold it before coming back... better than renting :D

    It's that slow or what?

    I'm not an east coast fan... :D I'd rather wait 5 days in Vegas than 2 days in New England... ;)

    It's that slow or what?

    I drive a CV, not straight truck. They said PA is good, and yes, usually I get runs outta here pretty fast, but not these days. That's why I was wondering if it's slow everywhere or it's just my co.

    It's that slow or what?

    Last week I had one short run (550 mi) with delivery on Tuesday. Since then, I'm just waiting, and waiting, and waiting... and I'm not in Texas, but in Harrisburg, PA...

    Wow! Stuck in Texas for 3 days, gotta refuse loads down here from now on.

    For 55 cents no way, but for 65 I'd do it rather than waiting a week. Laredo became a pain in the beep, as well as down in the Valley, but El Paso was always ok for me.

    "LATE" delivery?

    For one thing, why did you accept a short run on Friday? Second, yes, you were supposed to let 'em know that you won't make it on time due to the heavy traffic...

    Homicidal fake cop in Mississippi. Be careful!

    That was funny... I guess we should switch to armored vehicles and never ever open the doors when pulled over...

    How Much are Brokers Charging Shippers for Loads? Here is an Example....

    I tried several times to get some LTL freight for my van (1-2 pallets). They (the brokers) were offering me irresistible prices, like $500 for a run from Carrizo Springs, TX to Miami, FL or even "better", $400 from LA to Chicago, just because it was LTL and they were not in rush...
