Tried the app, not as good as website version, which still works Ice cream on a hot summer day Wife vetoed the large, this is the Big Baby

Arrgh. See newbie section I mean that in a nice way, do some serious research

Well I thought so, even 4:30 am on a Saturday If I had a point, the per mile thing doesn't work as a measure for local, unless that's actually how you get paid. I got mileage + pieces The average local courier here makes less than 16.66 CDN per hour, "1099" in americanese with no benefits and...

I did. Course it was only a 3800 dollar sprinter...:D My real world example paid much better tho

Wow if that's not enough for an 8 hour shift that ends at home...anyway only got mine twice, seems someone else thought it was worth it too

Hi all. Just catching up on posts. Same old deliveries, but double the money with the sprinter and lots of home time too, been staying out in dark parks till 4 in the morning with the wife playing Pokemon. Neither one of us have walked this much in 10 years...

In all truth, local pays just as well as expedite now that American rates are in the toilet...500 dollars for 8 hours work and 200 miles...

6000 miles a week? That's a hard way to make a living:D

36 loaded mile run, 131 empty miles:rolleyes:...figure I scratch their back they'll scratch mine...dispatch has been great so far

Only tried that once, got woke up by a park Ranger after 2 hours asking if I was OK and if I was alone in there At 20 bucks a day I'd have to go hunting for food too, that's too much for me

Stay cool everybody. Thought I was OK until I slept 12 hours and I'm still tired Much nicer today, 91 in the shade

It's grilled all right

Oh, that's useful. So a scan tool is needed to see the interior temp...

I do a good amount of local to fill in between expedite runs. Expedite still pays better, but being home same day and doubling up runs makes up for a lot. I've heard it's a hard day doing an Amazon run, piece rate and home deliveries. But better than sitting. Expedite I find air freight and...

I think to make it you have to mix in lots of local, Canadian expedite only deliveries aren't where they used to be...look for a company with their own customers If you're worried about empty miles, the best solution would be to move to the United States...

Yes it is. Talking about the heat I was sitting in tho Or is 121 F just normal to you? This poor Canadian got fried

Wimps. Here's the Temps in my van while moving (It actually hit 49.5 C which is 121 F) Started last night in PA at 11c (52 F) and it just kept getting hotter (as I drove northeast!) . Now home and under the comfort of an air conditioner roof, contemplating the sprinter condenser on the front...

Had to post my cab temp while driving with the windows down Think it's a record (49.5 c is 121.1 F)

Got one of those galaxy units before they disappeared at Pilot. Was great in the winter, had a couple warnings about trucks sliding backwards downhill I avoided...spilled an entire pot of coffee on it a couple years ago and I've been afraid to plug it in

Just had the best dream. Flying down the highway on my motorcycle with a modified windshield washer squirting coffee in my mouth
