RE: I thought Americans would know about RE: Anyon yup.thats the best way...live and learn and gitter done..instead of whinning about how bad your dispatch is.......like some....

I have a pardon..Your record does NOT show up. They only know what you tell them. A pardon gives you the right to say no to that dreaded question. Ever been convicted? Never tell them you have a pardon or its waiver time. Again..it does not show up!

After reading about what all you people are going thru with these crossings no one has even mentioned your dispatch! Does not your dispatch do anything? Our company, we fax the paperwork to them and THEY fax it to the right broker and confirm reception and then check what time we can cross and...

This complaining seems redundant somehow, especially for VAN owners. I mean ya'll signed contracts for .77 per mile and fsc plus whatever add-ons. Now Panther prolly works the way my co. works, they look at the board and see a # and take a trip from a shipper and then TRY to dispatch it on the...

We're in a sprinter as well and been doing this "expeditin" for over 4 yrs now and same company. If ya keep your head out of company politics and just concentrate on the job at hand we make good money sooo nothing to complain about. You gotta know your pecking order out here, vanners I talk to...

Ace.... I had France in mind..they'd do well together? ;)

R rating? I am a dunce when it comes to that!*lol* I used that pink sheet about 1/2-3/4 in stuff as well they have smaller bundles of 1/4" to build up to a level to the cross members. I used self tapping screws and predrilled into the ribs. I also used 1" pine strapping the length of the van to...

darkunicorn..Thats slowwwwwww. Fastman....2006 has been ok for us. Then again it all comes down to carrier.

is the van insulated? If not DO IT! Where are you sleeping? rear or drivers seat? In my 3/4t van I slept in the front...dropped a moving blanket to create a wall, cover as much glass as I could and ran a propane heater on the passenger seat one with a fan. And treid to park with my tail into...

darkunicorn Based on your info you made a very good business decision. Weighed the options, looked for the combinations and made a decision. Very well done.

makes ya kinda wonder if the dispatchers brain is connected to the top of the spine or the bottom?;)

oh..and what truck are we taking into the Big Apple? B.C.D.E. ? If you go in thru the Verazanno and out the GW there are no tolls except the Troggs Neck and white stone or whatever they call it. I've found NYC to be kinda wussy compared to Chicago. IMHO.

many variables here most importantly. Wheres this said load going to? AND how much for it? Are they paying the 200 mile deadhead?

Yep. They'd prolly find a team first and if no team were available then a solo with a cross dock set-up bout half way, IF the customer needed it right away. Thats for C's and D's, for a van it's go straight thru.

Got 103,000 miles on my 2005. Costs so far ONE headlight bulb 9.95 plus tax. No other problems. As was said in another post you gotta drive it a bit different. Its a Mercedes, it runs different. Mercedes has been making diesels before Detroit was a city. Don't try to run it like a North...

Can anyone really define slow or busy? I thinks it would be more of a personal needs thingee. I am only averaging 6g's a month since being an American driver compared to over 7g's being a Canuck go figure...That being said I'd say slow...others wpuld say I've been busy. Perspective. Yes...

Yep, I think the U.N should move out of the U.S. and take the thousand or so jobs to a country where they'd more more wanted. Besides the U.S. is so far behind on thier dues, they should loose the right to host world leaders. New York could do with losing more jobs. Besides Americans ticked at...

>I want to get into expediting,with my own Sprinter.I heard >from a Dodge Sprinter dealership,that 2006 is the last year >for a diesel Sprinter.They are going to gas,in 2007.I have >really bad credit,is there any company that will even look >at you with bad credit and loan you money,to start...

Since getting our Sprinter we've been able to grab close too or exceed the monthly payment on upgraded loads. Dynamex has a standard van rate, a one Ton rate and will go to a C rate. We've gotten as high as $1.30/mile plus FSC for one load. Sure beats 77 cents Reasons for gettimng a Sprinter...
