Just as many of you suspected, McCain wan't really merging with anyone, he was taking a job with a trucking company and was looking for a free plug for that company. Here's a portion of his post that was moved to a forum for administrators to review: "I will hire owner-operators, recruit and...

I agree miguy, but who among us cargo van o/o's has $27K available. I also agree on the gap insurance, but the cost may degrade the value of the 0% loan. My preference is to give enough of a down payment so that I'm never upside-down on the loan; my old van have usually provided that for me...

Let me throw another log on the fire. If you buy a fully loaded GMC or Ford cargo van for, say $27,000, It'll be worth about $22,000 as soon as you drive off the lot. Put 100,000 miles on it in a year and the KBB or NADA will indicate it will be worth half what you paid for it. If you have a 5...

Phew! Cargo van expediting has been a great thing to do, in the past. It's still doable but there are too many vans competing for too little freight for anyone to forecast how well a newcomer would do. Where your home is plays a role in your financial success due to the high cost of deadhead...

Depends on the lease agreement in sofar as it concerns load offers and final pay. I'd say that if the offer to the truck is understood to be subject to change, then you have no cause for dispute. If you have nothing in your lease agreement covering ambiguous FSC charges and a load offer is as...

The E-150 is not a suitable van for the typical nationwide expedite carrier with which you would hope to earn a good return on your effort and time. Desireable vans will have a minimum freight capacity of 2000 pounds. Some carriers still utilize "A" units which, in the past, were minivans and...

FanTastic vents have a lifetime warranty. I broke a lid; they sent me a new one at no charge. I had a failed lid motor on another van and they sent me a new one of those also. Don't give up on the FanTastic; give them a call.

TJ... It's never eaasy to say goodby to something about which you feel so passionate. Good luck at the fishin hole.

Clarksville, Mo is a small town about 15 miles north of us. They were on the nat'l news this morning and the local news every broadcast. The only thing these townfolks are asking for is sandbagging help as they try to keep dry. Iowa was particularly hard hit by flood waters. As Black Sheep...

I suggest you review your education, professional history, and job qualifications that would make you an attractive candidate for the carrier with which you seek to be contracted. They would be particularly interested in your driving history, including accidents and moving violations. Have you...

I'm averaging about three days on a charge. I wait til it's low before charging.

No one could have said it better than Turtle's explaination of the definition of the nature of expediting. I have noticed many cargo vans and cube trucks that take lost or delayed luggage from the airports to the owners at hotels and airports. They often make many stops in an evening...

I usually kept my Michelins at 80 rear / 70 front and rotated every 10,000 or so, whenever had time to kill near a free rotate at Costco. Sacrifice comfort for longer tire wear. 180,000 miles was not uncommon on the Michelin LTX E rated tire.
