It may be "required", but I made a call to the scale house up there ... the only one that might push it is some "newbie" cop that needs a reputation. The "oldtimers" say they have more important things to do than chase down a cargo van. But, it IS the law, so your experience might be...

I wonder if she will discuss her experiences with Kathy Harders of LOADS, (Loved Ones and Drivers Support)? L.O.A.D.S., Loved Ones and Drivers Support

I dont have that issue in a van, but I might imagine if you keep your speed at 100k, (62mph), no one is gonna look at it anyway. But I have been wrong before!

Folks at LEAM tend to be self sufficent, and do not depend on a central dispatch to manage their lives, what's to share on a forum? I made lousy choices, or, I made great decisions? I have continually stated, "I like Landstar", and I do ... what else is there to say?

I live close enough, I'll be driving the pick up down ... maybe I should bring that new 35' travel trailer also, and we can party in the parking lot .... shhhh ... don't tell my wife!

Extremely happy.

At home in Dayton, if no load offer by 5pm, I'm going out of service until Tuesday .... sit on the back deck, use the BB gun on the squirrels and have a great time!

Electric vans are already here ... Navistar Begins Indiana Production of Battery-Electric Cargo Van - AutoObserver

If your carrier of choice REQUIRES anything of you that does not affect safety, (which they are responsible for under Federal rules), then you are NOT an independent contractor, you could, (In my book), be deemed an employee. Have I said it before I like Landstar! They have zero requirements...

Your correct response to this problem is to address it with the owner of the facility. That is private property, it would be the owners call to allow, or not, them on HIS private property. Otherwise ..... move to a CV where you are not regulated by DOT .... which I did.

16 hour clock ...... in a cargo van? Must be a company rule?

Is it worth repeating? I love it here at LEA .... EOU ... can we get some bumper stickers and t-shirts? (Please make them grey, as they don't show my sloppy eating habits as badly!) :D

Yes, interesting facts! Thanks Paul!

Since I do not listen to trucking radio .... it would have been nice if you folks had given a heads up a few days ago. :confused:

Did I get my signature line correct? I did, I did!

Mostly trial and error LDB .... dependent on his equipment, desired freight lanes and products wished to be transported. But I would be happy to make some introductions to a few agents I work with.

I called, (out of curosity) ... they never returned the voicemail I left ... overwhelmed with response, I guess.

Yes, it pays well. They can also do escort for the semi's in the carrier divison, with an empty van! That pays well also

A tip .... when I load, I ALWAYS get the advance on my card. (At the time of loading) I can certainly manage without it, but I choose to operate on THEIR money, (yes, it would have been mine next settlement), I use the advance money for all road expenses. That way settlement checks are not...

Your question, as posed, is not answerable. Expediting is "feast or famine", there is no standard for the industry as to what your Sprinter, or any unit, will run weekly. How many miles does the local ambulance in your community get? Some days lots, and may sit for 3-4 days before getting...
