    Expedited US mail runs?

    Yes we do it. I ran a number of these originating in Groveport, Ohio, near Columbus to POs In Pittsburg, New York, Penns. When my Ford work comes to an end I am sure I will run them again. I really do not recall pay but $1.35 sounds about right. Raceman Dedicated O/O OOIDA 741748

    pay

    I would not recommend the first week of July for you folks to do a sit in. That is always a slow period in this business. If you want to have an impact you must all take vacation during the busy season. Also keep in mind you need everyone to do this in order to have an impact and you can't get...

    team load, solo load, any load

    Leo, I think overall this is a very good post and it should certainly make people think. I will also say this turning down of loads by both team and solo that you describe and or site, is exactly what has made me a very nice living for going on three years now. That is exactly the stuff I run...

    Money with owning your on trk

    The answer is yes. But to be very honest with you, if you are asking that question you are not mentally there yet. Trucking like anything in life is as successful as you personally make it. To make money in any business as the owner you must have a drive, a very strong work ethic and make that...

    IRP Record Keeping.

    BP is right. Hand held memo recorder. I moved up a bit and got one that holds a full size cassette. I got it at Radio Shack. It is just a bit bigger than the tape itself. I record all that stuff for records and my other thoughts, ideas, improvements for making the job easier, etc. Reminders of...

    Get the DOT number!

    BP, it is very true the Police do not come onto a truck stop lot to aid in an accident between trucks. When I was a Fleet Owner one of my trucks was hit in Jersey in a lot by a CRST truck. Police would not help on that property Raceman Dedicated O/O OOIDA 741748

    load insurance

    I have all mine through TIA. The number is on this site as they advertise. You can get loadand everything at a good rate. Now if you plan to haul HazMat or household goods it can get expensive. Straight truck with Hazmat was about 12,000 to 15,000 a year. Without Hazmat I pay under 5,000 a year...

    a test

    Why would you post this? Why would you post it in the General area? I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this post but I feel it to be very wrong for me to do so. I would also have a very difficult time finding the right area to post them. In any case what are you looking for in terms of...

    Transfering load truck to truck

    I may not be reading this right or it may be I do not understand the in and outs of what sounds like FECC but how much less than $300? At $300 that appears to be $3 a mile and that seems like a money maker to me. If it was $250 the that is $2.50 a mile. Still seems like a money maker to me. I...

    dressing up the truck

    I once looked for those also and I found them via Google search. I do not remember the site. Everything I have added to my truck I found via google search or by asking someone who had what I saw on their truck. I think I searched freightliner fender skirts or faring something like that Graphics...
