So been planning on getting back into expediting as owner op of promaster 3500. I have about a year driving for owners so i know the ropes. Just wanna get some input, if you were where i am would you wait until the slow month of july is over with since its so close anyway? Currently im making...

in general it will be somewhere between 70-90 cents per mile for your standard rate. Dont forget to ask more for 3 skid loads, short runs, and anything that puts you in a bad area (freight wise). But like they said, make a list of all the companies you are considering, make a list of questions...

Very good point. Drivers are naturally going to zone off after getting used to everything going smooth day after day, so when it does mess up there is a good change they wont be ready to take over. Just another point for the "we arent losing our jobs" side.

Heres a thought, airplanes are almost all computerized now, pilots really dont do much but be there for emergencies, and maybe do some controlling of the driving around the runway to get into position. But theres still pilots. Its going to be the same with self driving trucks. Truckers there for...

When i first start im going to only have the bare essentials, so im going to drop some money on luxuries when it starts coming in....ac unit, generator, mounted tv, etc....then after that like you say its going all into the business. I eventually want to start a fleet and work my way into...

The people that own these massive corporations only stay wealthy due to everyone at the bottom end purchasing their products and services. So lets say every job in the world is totally computers and machines, who is going to be the end user to purchases what all these monopolizing machines and...

Found out about this great app called windy. Gives color coating of the map to show how fast the wind is blowing and where. Great addition to your weather apps to avoid being hit with 40+mph winds.

I actually want to look into a front mounted genererator, hopefully one i can double with a deer guard! Been working my ass off and building my credit and saving all i can working two jobs im going to finally buy a van in probably around 2 weeks. Super excited. Hopefully v3 is still taking on...

There are plenty of vans i see that are not the ideal one. It would take me forever to get the down payment i need. Its not that much of a difference in payload, and i rarely get 3 skids. Id rather get the ones im talking about and just not take 3 skid loads. Then once i have the van paid off i...

I wanted to get the 3500 extended with the 13' and some change length but due to little credit/not having a co signer, i can not afford this one because i cant find any used for sale within 500 miles. Only new ones for 36-42k. But there are plenty of 2500 and 3500 159" wheelbase with the 12'1.9"...

Detriot is the only place someone threatened to shoot me. At the drop off. An employee there. Because i asked where the shipping office was...."go round dat corna my niggas will show you summ BLAT BLAT BLAT" pretty sure they were :censoredsign:ing with me because im a skinny young white dude in the bad...

No not to late i figured that out myself a few weeks ago youre right, a lot of the 2500s say extended but unless you see a good 3-4feet behind the back axle then its not the extended you need. Still weeks away from buying trying to have 6 months at this local job first to improve my chances of...

Yeah i decided to scrap the side wall e track instead im going to screw in some strong metal loops and use the hook style straps for side to side securement and just e track on the floor.

That sounds awesome as hell probably going to be expensive as hell though.

For anyone who didn't assume so already, i meant ceiling not roof. Lol. But yeah, nevermind ain't going to work.

Thats the one i was looking at. They are refurbished or store returned new ones on ebay for like 500. My issue is i think its a little too wide to fit next to wheel well without spilling over. I may still try to make it work, but i also saw a kit to wire your honda2k to be remote start it was...

Looking into ones that have remote starting now. And one i can hook up to an external gas tank but i think most are able to do that. Theres a champion i saw thats remote start but i think it may be too big.

Before i leave i double check the route it gives me on google maps and the drop location and just make mental notes on anything i need to change. But 98% of the time everything is good with it. Unless im going to nyc then i have to manually make a route with all the parkways. Also you have to...

kinda starting to think im better off just using a generator and forget the batteries since im going to have to run the generator all the time anyway.

i dont own welding equipment lol.
