FireGears: Thanx for correcting my typo.. Your actions are a true measure of your character. Your non-resposiveness to my questions in this post and others provides me, and perhaps other EO members, an indication of who you really are and the value of your input to the fora of a trucking...

Firegears: Expeditersonline is a website that focuses primarily on trucking in general and expedite carriers, owner/operators, drivers and persons intersested in such in particular. Most of us get to know each other by sharing information related to the trucks we operate, the carriers to which...

Yea, I checked back a few threads and found it to be a personal use vehicle for totin rockclimbers and their gear

My qualifications to respond to this thread: None. As I read you post, it sounds like you want to change a dry box into a reefer box, rather than add a reefer box to the Straight truck frame. I can only imagine that this custom conversion would be cost prohibitive compared to buying a reefer...

That would be normal if you are leased to a carrier with which you must deadhead back to a small geographic area where all the carrier's customers are situated. Some of the smaller carriers operate this way, but the larger carriers with nationwide customer bases will move you from point A to B...

Here's the policy, as I understand it. FedEx Custom Critical provides two layover location suggestions upon arrival at each final delivery on a given run. The suggested layovers are paid at the deadhead rate for that size truck (minus 50 miles) plus the current FSC (for all deadhead to layover...

Willymutt You've piqued my curiosity. Will you be hauling freight for hire in your 45' RV plated truck?

A West Virginia University fan is drinking in a New York bar, when he gets a call on his cell phone. He hangs up, grinning from ear to ear, and orders a round of drinks for everybody in the bar, announcing his wife has just given birth to a typical West Virginia baby boy weighing 25 pounds ...

FG: The topic of your post was not about sin in general, it was about homosexuality, in particular, being a sin in the view of the author. Indeed, every one of the 14 paragraphs refered to homosexuality in a negative manner. You say you posted the article to promote discussion, yet you...

RE: Again? Greg Dyslexia setting in? That was a million 3, as in 1.3 million

Another religious opinion scoured from the pages of wikipedia. The relationship between religion and homosexuality varies greatly across time and place, within and between different religions and sects, and regarding different forms of homosexuality and bisexuality. Currently, bodies and...

RE: RE%3A US Customs Raises Rates Linder: you might consider the following reply next time the nice officer in Massachusetts pulls over your truck: "perhaps one day the politicians will standardize the commercial vehicle registration regulations to make your job and the Missouri Trooper's job...

Try this link and fill out a "Multi Application" for a slew of carriers. If they are leasing vans, they might contact you. http://www.expeditersonline.com/leasingjobs.html

I agree with the frogger on all three points, but there are always exceptions. Some expedite carriers, including FedEx Custom Critical, require you to have a Hazmat qualification on you driver's license so, in order to get that, you will need a minimum of a class C CDL. Nowadays that's a...

CP: If you have the proper work ethic and choose a carrier that can satisfy your requirements, you might easily net $20K. I've done that on many slow years. But.... Your van may be paid for but it was not free. A $24,000 van, over its usefull six year expediting life, will cost you a...

This post is intended to be a companion/comparison piece to Moot's Panther Pals thread so as not to hijack the comments there. Our carrier's run offer messages over the Qualcomm are generally considered contractual in nature. There are no disclaimers included within the offer because it...

The law requires us to pay for Medicare but does not require us to use it. We are Medicare recipients and can take it or pay for another insurance carrier to cover our medical needs. Medicare and my supplemental insurance pay 100% of our Doc and hospital bill since we've been eligible...

There are a handful of places in Elkhart, IN that'll add a high top to the van and/or finish the inside with whatever goodies you might like. I have never seen anyone extend a cargo van and seriously doubt that it can be realisticaly done for cargo hauling. Your best bet is to buy the extended...

Any person that owns and operates their own equipment is, by definition, an owner/operator. It matters not if you have a lease agreement with a carrier, have an employment agreement with a carrier, operate under the authority of a freight broker, or have your own authority and find your own...

FG: I must say that I'm confused about your post. You posted a discussion titled "God’s Plan for the Gay Agenda" It was appropriately posted in our Soapbox Forum. As you indicated, If you have something to say about an issue, use the Soapbox. Well we now know what John MacArthur has to...
