The miles are not hard miles,a city van with 150,000 miles is alot different then a van that's had a life of expediting.

I think from a drivers stanpoint it's alot different,local air charter carriers are home most nights in expediting we pu at Kennedy Air port and Del in rural S.C it's a different lifestyle.I had a local driving job in Chicago and knew i was taking a pay cut when i started expediting,i enjoy the...

Thanks,i am looking to sell.I will call them mon morning,would be nice if they are open to public sellers.

Has anyone bought or sold at the Fort Wayne TRK Auction? If so how does it work.

I've seen a trk like it leased to panther,that one looks newer and it's been a couple years so maybe they upgraded [a scary thought] he or she must like it or they got the idea from someone else who does.

I have ford vans 1999-2006 and had a gmc 2003,three of my current vans are diesel 7.3 and two 6.0's my 06 is a e250 ford with the Accubuilt ext roof and doors.This is my first e250 and i must say what a difference in ride,i like the 5.4 gas i had a 99 i put over 300,000 on with no major...

Was wondering if anyone knows of a company that does this?

The home/office would be for paperwork,light trk maintance,bed,shower,a layover spot.I would think i could claim my days in service when i am there,but not at my home base.Thanks for your help.

I have 4 units signed on to a carrier,i want to add one under my new LLC will there be trouble if i have 2 1099s from my carrier? one with my name the other with my LLC.Question 2 If i rent a house/office in a freight lane and i do most of my work outta that office may i use this as my home base...

Single strt C unit in my example,about 1200-1500 per wk.The key with single operations is make sure you got your hours,good board postion,in a good freight area on Fri morning.Your chances of a good paying load are better cause alot of places are closed on the weekend,and if it takes you out of...

Thanks,they have the towel and a cooler to put the stuff in for the defrost.I think the drain tube is for when it's running like a car or trk has a puddle under it when the air is on,i wonder if it's a pan and it's overflowing along with the defrost.

I have a team that says there's a mess of water in the sleeper when they shut the trk off and the fridge defrosts,i don't know what to tell them.I don't want them to idle the trk,just to keep fridge from defrosting.I was also wondering about cold temps and keeping the engine running if ya can't...

Are there E.S teams that made the transition to o/o? if so and you didnt't go broke or get divorced ya did alright.

Draw up a contract,hold a escrow,and try to find someone who lives close to you 100 miles or so.Plan for the worest and hope for the best.

I am grammer challenged,in the last thread i was trying to say 8 yrs ago.I am leased to panther so we have a fixed contracted rate,the 85 cents is a van.I think it's 77 cents now.Is it 58% with Fedx? when i was considering Roberts they paid you extra if you went into or threw N.Y and other...

The contracted rate per [Panther] has gone down,fuel,oil,shop rates,showers,tolls,e.c.t have gone up.The sur charges help,however there not consistant.If you sat on a load for 24hrs it was an automatic layover,now the customer won't pay and there's not enough money in the load to pay you the...

I would hope someone at panther would confirm the different contracted rates to a fleet owner,I am at 85 per mile no sur charges.I signed in Aug of 99 I have friends who are at 90 and i think the first 500 vans were a dollar.We didn't have sur charges when i signed,i also paid 67 cents a gallon...

Yes! ya nailed it:7 I am trying to stay out of there personal affairs,however there personal choices [getting meds from the state for free] and it taking 3-4 days once they get home is enough to sign me up for a prozac diet plan.I don't have a problem with them coming home once a month or...
