Your van is too old for some carriers. A 2500 also severely limits your weight capacity and creature comforts. Snow is already here. You should wait and save up more money since it appears you don't have much to start a business and be successful.

When you said old guy with a straight truck, I thought for sure you meant Highway Star.:)

I like the roof terrace.

Would you care to join the BAN THE VAN movement? It costs nothing to join. All that is required is for you to own a cargo van and occasionally post BAN THE VAN or shout out BAN THE VAN in a movie theater or crowed elevator.

I never paid attention to the height thing before. Now that I tall I will have to watch for that and drive-up fast food. I guess I will have to ask for a few dollars more when running those tollways.

Coiled and ready to strike. Ooops, too late. The coil already struck.

So the choice is ours?

As a cargo van driver I get a flat $25 per extra stop.

Aw but he was!

I thought it appropriate. Originally it contained moonshine, but I drank it. I refilled it with kerosene so don't drink it. Just enjoy the flame.

When I get a load offer I always ask: "Is it ready now?" If the answer is "yes" then I roll knowing that there is about a 30% chance the freight isn't ready. Some shippers are habitually late getting freight ready. They are keenly aware of carrier's detention policies and somehow manage to...

Why not politely ask to be released to go get a meal or visit a nearby psychiatrist about your anger management issues. Check your contract.
