I did courier work for a local co. in Houston. In one day I drove over 300 miles, I spent a whole daylight (it was summertime), I had only large loads, and at the end of the day I realized that I earned the fabulous amount of $120.

That's what an Interstate Dist. Co. truck did to me about 10 years ago... Lucky me I was driving a van and I was able to control my vehicle without crashing... It was something hard to forget...

I thought once about the ferry from Marine City, MI but I didn't know if the cargo vans are allowed, so I didn't try. Other than that, I used the Transatlantic once, one year ago, and I can say that it was an amazing experience.

With the today's living cost, yes, we should... but we don't :(

Some carriers were paying better 20 years ago than they pay nowadays...

For a Sprinter? I guess one will get stuck on his bed for the rest of his life... :beaver:

I presume so, since they told me that it'll cost me maybe more to repair it than replacing it. I wasn't there to see the damage, but since two shops gave the same option, I guess that was the truth...

Timing chain.

Actually it's more than triple... the QC basically costs $40/mo while some carriers are charging even $35/week (that'll be about $155/mo). Plus other tricks covered under the "fee" name for different things that an honest carrier won't do it...

200.000 miles on my first ProMaster and just replaced the engine...

These are the numbers (generated by the carrier).

That was a good one! :clapping-happy:

I believe Geo is doing it locally... if you want OTR, CEVA ain't the carrier you're looking for. Nice people, the pay is good, but lots of deductions and not too many runs. I've been there...

How about North Dakota? ;)

Still home...

Been trying that courier job... it sucks.

Sin no more...

Not quite so... for one thing, most of the carriers do not accept you to work with multiple carriers, then what if they call you and they want you to go right away for a load, yet you're not able to do so since you're not done with the local deliveries...
