    Paying for service or breakdowns

    When I had drivers I would give them a debt card that was in their name through my bank. I had them use it for fuel and repairs/hotels(If needed). I could use my computer on line to watch their use of the card and move money to and from the card as needed. My trucks with with Express1 at the...

    Are cargo van runs realy THIS slow right now?

    This may not go over all that well but I will give it a shot and am doing so only meaning well. It is my feeling that no matter how good the Company or the people they only go so far or care so much. Why? There is a line of new drivers in Vans, Sprinters and Straight trucks a100 miles long just...

    OPINIONS ARE JUST THAT

    This site is like everything else. Someone always gets picked on. I used get picked on here and once I spoke to the person doing picking and we got to know each other things changed somewhat. A-Team has a great attitude and that is a good thing to have. Sometimes others are bothered by that and...

    Blood pressure problems

    I have had a BP problem almost all my life. I take medication to control it and do infact only get one year at a time on the certificate. No big deal. They do ask that it be checked once every three months. I have no idea what you were told but what I do is get it checked and have it written...

    Should I file my taxes if I only made 10K?

    You need to file. You should always file. I would also recommend if that is what you made in a full year, I would find someone else to run for or get in another business. Maybe I misunderstood what your message said but if I read it right and you typed it right then I say move on. I spend...

    The down side of expediting

    It sounds to me like you should just stop working and enjoy some of the money your family spends on travel. My Lord they get around. I am with you though, if my truck does not take me there or there is not a race there, I don't go. I hate vacationing. I will say that last year I was dating a...

    Solo Driving

    As a past owner I would agree with what was said in the first response. No. If you would go and just stop by home as loads take you past, you can do okay. I had drivers make from $400 to $800 a week. Some more some less it depends on many things. Two weeks out, I think you and owner will be...

    Guys you need to lighten up

    BP, I am talking about being face to face with people and they say nothing and actually very often look as though they are mad, hate life or hate me, I don't know. I am just saying I think as we all see each other there is nothing wrong with saying hello. I actually have no desire to talk about...

    3126 Cat Motor Parts

    The 3126 is not a strong engine but will flat out roll with weight on and ran at 65 and up. Many reasons for this but what you describe is not all that odd. I have had two of these and still drive one everyday. I have found it has a sweet spot of about 65 and that does need weight on. If you hit...

    Guys you need to lighten up

    As many of you know I have been dedicated now for a year. I have come to love this and will have a hard time going anywhere else when that time comes. On to my topic. Last night at Ford Batavia in Ohio I ran into an Express1 driver at the gate. He asked me who I ran for and so on. A pleasure to...

    inverter question

    Dave, I had to laugh about your box light comment. You are dead on though. That little cab dome light will do it just as quick. As for this post. Man I am lost. When you say "You charge it up" what exactly are you charging up? It may help if you ask your question again. Raceman OTR O/O

    First time.

    I suggest you contact the compnaies advertising on here. No one can tell you what compnay is best for you. Being in Florida is going to make it tough no matter who you go with. As for home time. Let me give you some advice. If you wish to make it in this business don't go into this business...

    How do I say thanx?

    >Okay I got ya. As for turn signals, they do not come on newer cars, SUVs and some trucks. So what I started doing about a month ago is telling folks in a concerned way that their signals were not working. If I get next to a person at a light who has been jumping around without signals, I get...

    OOIDA

    Thanks LDB for your input. All of what you say is very true. In time they will possibly be of benefit. I will say at this point I disagree that they are of much help to me. Maybe one day that will change. There is more to my statement but I see no reason to air it out on here. If you wish I will...

    OOIDA

    Please don't go off the deep end here but I am a member and have no idea what I have gotten for money other than the LandLine Magizine. I may benefit in some way but I have not seen it. I will also say as for them speaking on my behalf, I have not seen where they have benefited me there...
