    Craz is right. One run in two days occurs more often in expediting than two runs in one day. One of the most difficult things that drop and hook T/T drivers find with cargo van expediting is the waiting for a run offer. You might compare us to the small town ambulance driver waiting for a...

    Good times!

    stdon153 had a great bit of luck this week to offset a lot of the bad news tales of late. How 'bout anyone else telling us about their interesting loads/trips of late. Don't matter about a lot of money, just relate the lots of interesting run.

    Newbie needs advice

    I don't think that the stars and planets are properly aligned for van owners to break into expedite at this time, not if you aspire to a "middle class boomer income".

    JUNG EXPRESS LOAD ISSUE

    I'm confused. Do you drive for an owner who is leased to to Jung and you took a brokered Panther load. Didn't you tell us a few weeks ago that you were on your way to Bolt for orientation? Did the Bolt gig go south?

    Newbie w/ question about life on the road?

    You should be able to get to the gym or a YMCA on your down time in any major city. You could also have plenty of room in a straight truck to keep a weight set and do your thing in your own gym on wheels

    I have something in common with Barney, I quit smoking 10 minutes before my first heart attack; haven't smoked since that moment in 1992. Food tastes better, clothes and hair doesn't smell like smoke, the walls and ceiling at home aren't coated with tobacco tar. It's been great. One word of...
