    Wish I could take credit

    It depends on which state as to whether they have a seperate commercial plate for a van. Specific information from your state registar should tell you the specifics and costs, if any. There are only a few states that don't have commercial plates for vans. Davekc owner 20 years

    All Types Expediting

    You can go to the archives and then do a search on them. I don't believe I have ever seen a positive post on these folks. Way too many good companies out there, so why take a chance? Just my opinion Good Luck Davekc owner 20 years

    Ok is it really that slow??????

    Alot of production that is time sensitive is stronger at years end. In alot of industries, they are steering towards a quota because their company's value may be determined on that. That would effect everything from their stock price (if applicable) to obtaining future financing ect. Also...

    You gotta see this truck !

    Your right. That truck is a repo. They were supposedly were only getting one or two runs a week. Tough to pay for that kind of truck with very few runs. All the business plans in the world are not going to save you when that happens. Davekc

    A Cat in the Truck

    Hi We had two pomeranians with us when we were on the road and never had any problems except when they went out in Canada and it was 10 below zero. They were ok but I was less than thrilled. Most of the time the wife took on that duty. I would get that litter that you can clean daily and put it...

    new to expediting

    Welcome aboard It sounds like you are looking for something local or a dedicated run that leaves Iowa on Monday, and returns at the end of the week. This is not too common in expediting. You would do better and drive tractor trailer based on that type of schedule Davekc owner 20 years

    Ok is it really that slow??????

    I think the point that everyone is trying to make is to save as much as you can. Sometimes that is not easy. It also can be easier said than done. You do need a business plan but only a fool will tell you a perfect one exists. If it did, everybody would be using it. There are many variables that...

    My GOD what kind of a can of worms did i open up here? Whitewolf53 Probably the right one. If companies or individuals are taking advantage of their drivers, then they should be exposed. If the above is true, these folks must be walking on egg shells. It is one thing to have some minor...

    Generators

    Before you decide on a unit, you should know what your power requirements are going to be. We have a truck out there now that has a large sleeper and the ones listed above are severely under powered for our application. None of those have a value either if you have a roof air unit. I have heard...

    PANTHER 2 DRIVERS

    Sounds like there may be more to the story. Panther pays a flat rate per mile of $1.20 to $1.35 to the truck. It may be another company that operates on the .58 percent basis. To my knowledge Panther has no pay plans that pay a percentage. Davekc owner 20 years

    Is there something for expeditors like getloaded?

    RE: Is there something for expeditors like getload I would agree that it is only profitable under the right circumstances. It is used generally to get out of an area or a situation where multiple shipments justify the cost of doing it. Most LTL loads pay under a dollar mile. It does pay more...
