    When I worked for Ceva (Then EGL), msot of the time youhad to find your own freight on the dock and load your own truck. Most loads were hand unloads and then you had to deal with city traffic as majority if not all laods were local deliveries. I remember coming home many a day just worn out.

    I personally prefer the lease option with an individual carrier. I have done very well with any of the carriers I have been with.

    Whirlwind Express

    I have never worked for this company but I feel that if a carrier wants to do business they should have the capital on hand to pay their drivers when that payday is whether it is daily, weekly, monthly or whatever else day they choose to agree to pay on.

    Express-1 Straight Truck rate increase!!!!

    From what heard in the past those rates suck. I know one team that was escorting a straight DOD load and they made so much money that he bought a brand new convertable Bentley.

    NLMI-Landstar

    No sense getting your tighty whiteies in a wad. Landstar mainly bought NLM for their computer system. They kept everything the same. Landstar does not give their drivers any special favors regarding NLM. If changes are coming I don't think it will effect you. Remember they are working with...

    Loose roof panels on box truck.

    That translucent (fiberglass) roof should only be 1 piece. I have a Bay Bridge box with a translucent roof that is one contuious piece of fiberglass. I also have had a 24 ft. straight truck with a translucent roof that was also 1 piece. I don't think they make them with multiple pieces to cut...

    staying warm?

    I spoke with Ray at Espar a few weeks ago about getting a D4 installed along with the battery bank. The D4 installed was around $2200 and another $ 995 for the battery bank installed. I will be getting mine installed in the near future.

    What did you find from reading the posts that turned you away from buying the Rand GPS? I have had my Rand 500 since Feb. of this year and love it especially since we have had a major update with updated maps and many other features.
