    I woke from a dream with a vision

    my wonderment is where are you gonna get any customers? Without customers, no driver will sign on. Without drivers, the customers will be rather scarce.

    Truck owners contracts to perspective drivers

    If the owner signed then the driver could fire the owner. Not a avery tenable position

    Thanks for the great responses to

    If all the facts are as you stated, AND you had no specified term of driving in you contract, I'd say you owe him the remainder of the agreed upon $200, or $150. You say you have money coming. I hope it's not more than the $150

    question about the Sprinter...

    A standard pallet will fit between the wheel wells of a 2500, not the 3500. I wouldn't recommend the 3500 as a van that would satisfy all carriers' requirements. The 2500 will.

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    I'm with T'Hawk. If all your refused loads are solely for non-profitability reasons and your carrier finds your load acceptance rating to be unacceptable, then it would be a good time to rethink your lease with that carrier.

    Canada Panther & Getting paid in Canada

    The obvious answer is not when will you get paid but how much you will receive. Take away the when and you have your answer.

    Tax Question for drivers of owner operators.

    Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't suggesting that I know the rules, just that I have been led to believe by our tax adviser that the only per diem deduction available to us is the standard meal allowance for transportation workers. Therefore, I take no other per diem deduction.

    "B" unit profitability.....

    I don't think this is a good time for an entry level van operator to enter this business as a leased expediter. If your wife will want to compete for the two or three small loads a week running in her area, then she would be fortunate to get only one of them. If that load develops at the kids'...
