    Cost for Van Wash

    HI tr, I found that if you go to the privet washes you not only get a better job but you can barter with them and get a better rate. I pay $10 and/or $12 depending where I take the vans. The Blue Beacon is always more money, about $15 and don't do as good a job. I always check it over before I...

    REMOVAL OF MY POST

    HI tr, If you think that a list of Expediting Companies will help the drivers on this site, make a better living, then why not gather their info and make a list of your own without posting an attachment directing posters to the competitions URL:. From my understanding, no one is complaining...

    Can I make a decent living as an Expediter??

    Weave did sum up the time out on the road thing, and he is right on. Unless you can find a company to work for where you may be able to land a dedicated run, then everything that Weave told you stands. Some of the best runs come in on the weekends, and there isn't every many drivers that are in...

    van setups

    I don't have any pictures, but I found this shelf-it (http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/subpages/pacedwards_shefit.asp)It is the greatest. I mounted my radio right under the center and still was able to use the visors. I don't run with a Quallcom, so I can't help you on that

    CTX

    HI Jax, I would say that $2500 a week could be made with a D unit. I don't run a D-unit on a regular basis, but I do run a van and I gross well over that on a weekly basis with the van, but keep in mind that I do a dedicated run 5 nights a week. I don't know CTX, but someone on the site will be...

    It's been real folks!

    HI Frank, I'm sure you know that three months isn't really enough time to evaluate a new career move. Good things take time. "Yha I know you have bills and all", but you knew going into this career move it wouldn't be easy. Most of the advice people give on the site is to have atleast three...
