You would have to have your companies approval for this to happen. You would be running under the authority and insurance. As to whether it is worth it depends on what percentage your company charges you. You will certainly need to know that number. Most, but not all will be LTL loads. You...

Thanks dave that link has saved me more than once. I got it bookmarked, but hopefully I won't have to use it:D Great link! Davekc

Good tip. It has worked well for us as well. Must be the ammonia? Davekc

Sometimes the obvious is overlooked. One must have actual income in order to take any deductions. You can't deduct more than you grossed. But you can pass some losses to the following year unless they changed something? Just something to be aware of. Davekc

Tony, What about its affect on metal? I would have a concern on putting oil on anything that already has rust? Any thoughts? Never tried this. Dave

KW Excellent link. Davekc

In your second example you should get $244.80 plus 100 percent of the surcharge. $76.00 Total of run= $320.80 Your owner will get $163.20 Since we don't have vans, I never had a truck sit for four days. I would figure the distance from the last run to the next likely area. I would consider if...

what are if any thoughts on this venture.i'm going in blind but don't want to make a mistake. ================================================================== You answered your own question. If going in blind, expect it to be a big mistake. Starting with EO, start reading and learning as...

When they offer you the run, ask them how the milage is figured. They have always told us. If by chance you have a suspicion that it is incorrect, run it on your laptop. Ours have been accurate short of a couple of times, and those were inaccurate routing due to hazmat loads. The load couldn't...

Would the dirt,salt and road chemicals stay stuck on the bottom with the oil? Davekc

If I was entering in as a Newbie, in a van, as a driver for someone else, ( which I have done), how would you break down things for easy absorbtion? At .85 plm would you take this run? 80 dhm to do 110 lm with 40 dhm to layover? Regardless of whether you would, would someone break that down so...

Good information. You cannot be a driver and have your Owner Supply you or charge you for Workerscomp. The Policy has got to have you named on it and you should demand a copy for your records if this arrangment is set up weather in N.C. or Tim buc two This is what I do. The policy is in the...

You must have had a base plate if they wanted you to buy permits. The 30 day transit tag would exempt the permit issue. Davekc

Assuming they used the right grease, it could be harder to crank because you are running in a colder area? If it is a two speed, and if it is not engaged all the way, that might affect it as well. Davekc

Its already licensed and tagged by ConWay-Now and it will remain with them also. Thats why I wanted to have someone from Conway Drive it. It will be insured also. Being tagged by Conway is what killed you. That makes it a commercial vehicle. You would have been better to put a 30 day transit...

agree totally Should add 100 percent of empty miles as well. davekc
