Because I am looking to get back into expediting i stopped last october to work local but now i miss it, and being a southerner who isn't accustomed to ice, figured it was a good idea to wait till the MAJORITY of the bad weather has ran its course, thats what i was asking, i know that water...

for someone who never itemized before (only W2's in past) is it pretty simple and straightforward to understand?

Does anyone do this versus getting a person or company to do it for you? Seems like its going to be an extra few hundred that I really don't have to waste so I'm looking into doing it with turbotaxes independent contractor 1099 something software that's only $50 to use. I have a spreadsheet of...

alright 10-4 on that, that one ntimevan posted might be a lot better i was using one of those big 4000w champions mounted to the back so maybe it wont be so bad if i get a smaller and/or less powerful one.

wait what about a A/C unit with a sensor for temp? Say I make my little room super insulated as best as I could and then set the A/C for a certain temperature, so it would only be running when it needed to cool instead of just running and running? Say like a 4-5k BTU I really don't know but I...

Thanks that makes sense. I'm going to look into a way of maybe getting a smaller less gas consuming less noise generators and only run the AC (or heat if needed but that can probably do with batteries). Preferably one with a remote start! Then I can run my fans, tv, etc off of just the batteries.

what about those apus on the big trucks is there any form of that to be used with a van?

Damn...

theres a lot to keep up with as it is I'm just trying to do away with the added hassle of making sure its filled with gas, getting out of the van to hook it up and get it running every time, its loud. None of these are that big of a deal but it would be nice to get rid of these and just press a...

Was entertaining the idea of building a static closed in insulated sleeper as to have a much smaller area to cool, so say I got a 3.5 foot sleeper, with a wall behind front seats and on the other side before cargo area, will one of those high end plug in A/C units, would it be enough to keep an...

I know it can go into april in certain spots of the country but generally when is ice on the road I guess considered rare and not likely?

yeah so screw that then

Yeah, ill just not take hazmat then, while i have no idea on the hazmat freight for vans market, my gut tells me its not going to double my miles, i feel like id make less per year having to always abide to those hours than i would getting the extra hazmat loads, but i really dont know. Then...

Oh yeah i didnt even think about the whole 70 hour rule... But if you are technically not a commerical vehicle when under 10k hauling normal loads, how would that time be logged as far as keeping 7 previous days records? In other words if im hauling more than 1 placcarded load within the 7 day...

Just a pretty straight forward question i couldn't figure out by searching.... When under 10k gvwr, and hauling a hazmat load, do you have to keep logs like the bigger trucks? And if so, it would only be while under that particular load right?

Yeah they did free of charge, but i kinda attributed that to my fleet owner having around 10 vans from this one dealer and them not wanting him to take his business to another dealer by pulling the out of warranty card (we tried to get all major work done there). Oh and i had a gas model forgot...

yep, another in aurora IL too

I just saw they were opening 2 new distribution centers as well, may be a good time to buy amazon stock...

just to add my two cents I was in a 2014 3500 ext PM up until a few months ago. I was in it from about 140k to 200k, I know it still had the original tranny and engine but idk if any replacements on anything else happened before that. It was very solid running, but wasn't perfect, when I first...

So I'm confused on the brokers? are the brokers just getting freight off of load boards and then assigning whatever OO is interested? or is it like they have to do a lot of networking with shippers to get the load then has the power of getting his cut cause he got the load direct from the...
