If the carrier accepts the driver,and there CDRP app is denied will they still be able to drive for the carrier?

I don't know of any expedite carrier that would.I think if you went to roadway or c.r england they will,however if you choose to leave then you have to pay for your trainning.I had a guy that ran for a carrier that paid for his trainning,he ran for them a couple months,quit and they sent him a...

Thanks for the info KKKK,it's the 1st year for the 6.0 and i am considering one.I have two 7.3's and hope the 6.0 are as dependable,it's 16 Qts on mine so 14 will save a couple bucks per oil change.I gotta ask who you run for,all the way back to W.I without a load offer? must have been on the...

I understand,on the CDRP form he put it down cause he was given supervision and never had any other convictions so he figured it was not on his record,he's had a number of jobs since 1976 and never had any mention of it from previous employers and in America the statue of limitations exsponges...

Did you tell your carrier about it when you signed on?

Yes vans get a copy of there contract.I would also like to know who you run for,cause that's a big red flag,do you guys run team? if so and your east of the sippi [river] you shouldn't be sitting very much at least with the big carriers.How's the 6.0? mpg,noise,ect...how many quarts of oil does...

I agree with the previous posts,the problem i have with that area is not will i get a load it's do i want the load,there usually not over 150 miles and go into O.H were your gonna be 15th out and there goes the day.I run single in a van,the only thing you may want to do is move closer to...

It's what have you done for me lately.

I would think your check engine light would come on,and you wouldn't be alerted to other problems that my come up.The other thing is,how will it effect your warranty? i would get something in writting from the dealer to cover yourself and i would let there service department do it before i left...

I've lost at least one driver who couldn't get his CDRP card because of a incident that happend in 1976,he wrote it on the application,told the company in orientation and was told not to worry about it cause it was so long ago.He fill out the a couple months later CDRP rejected him cause of the...

RE: Looking for Input on carriers Landstar, Con Wa In a van your limited to how much freight you can carry,so your gonna have to deadhead alot to get back to were the freight is [east of the sippi] go with a company that will at least pay for your fuel to get you back into the working area.The...

If your a team and leased to one of the big carriers,you won't have trouble getting freight.The previous post are right on,your biggest risk will be the team or driver you choose.

Sounds good,the extra torque of the diesel plays havic on the standard trans.

If GM put the Duramax in there vans i would give there a serious look.

The bigger the truck the more loads you will get,i thought the 58% was a backhaul reference,and missed the point:+ of the post,still not sure were they were at,gotta be out west.

I live in the Chicagoland area and only use additives if or when it drops below zero,the fuel has additives in it and if you get it from a high volume truck stop it's fresh,you can plug the van in overnight but i've only done that a couple time,i keep the tank fuel and change the water separator...

I have a van and if your over 200 from a shipping area you don't get any em,i took a load to A.Z once and had to drive back to Memphis on my own dime to get a load,if the backhaul or load got ya into the freight lanes and ya didn't spend alot of time at the ship or cons it sounds alright,i am...

I've had a ford e350 gas [5.4] and have two ford diesels 99 and 02 there's about a 3-4 mpg difference as taz stated,i would hope the 6.0 diesel would break 20mpg on the highway,empty,flat surface, and under 70mph.I use K and N air filters cause you never replace them,and change oil every 5,000...

Thanks for your response,speaking of air filters i use K&N not to help performance but it's cheaper that and less of a hassel then replacing them every 2-3 months,anyway there is alot of soot build up after about 60,000 miles i know the build up is good per K&N however i don't know if they...

Will miss both or ya,your knowledge and insight and your commitment to this site.
