I'm sure they hold your pay a few weeks, get ready for them to screw you out of that. Not much you can...

    What's needed to run for different brokers/carriers?

    Why give any new business a chance? Why give any of the big known companies a chance when they were first getting started? But yes, i would imagine from being in a bind at first. Then when you delivered above and beyond, maybe youll be the first call next time they need some help. Theres...

    What's needed to run for different brokers/carriers?

    This is purely out of curiosity. Seems like when you sign on to a major carrier like panther, landstar express, V3, etc, you are under their authority and sign something saying you won't run loads for any other carrier (because you're using their insurance, dot and ein numbers, etc) So what...

    Canada has Legalized Pot Countrywide

    The real question is can I get AS HIGH as the Canadian Rockies? I am willing to make the sacrifice to find out. Lewis and Clark will be rolling in their grave if I don't.

    What would you do?

    All i can tell you is i was with v3 in a 3500 promaster van for about 6 months for fleet owner and they kept me moving pretty damn good. So if you are in a bigger truck for them even better. Actually v3 was started by people from panther who thought they could build a better company. One thing...

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    Being a young guy doing that for a personal car is a little more understandable id think. Doing it for a business vehicle governed by all these regulations is another.

    Buying used PM with 330k miles?

    No no no no no. I had no plans whatsoever of taking 5 years to pay off a van with 300k already. You guys must think im really stupid lol. The 5 year loan is only an example....if i had 5k to pay on a loan id try to have it paid off within 3 months. The 5 year also gives me a low "minimum...
