    Properly pricing for vitamin stores and furniture home delivery?

    According to his post the furniture store people hand out his card to customers. Their responsibility ends there. The customers then contact JonH for delivery arrangement's. This makes it difficult to put together multiple loads and he gets stuck with the debris. He might do better getting...

    Properly pricing for vitamin stores and furniture home delivery?

    Can you be more specific? Are you picking up at a distribution center and delivering to vitamin stores? Are there currently others doing this? If so you would have to keep your price in line with theirs to be competitive. You also need to know your own costs like fuel, maintenance...

    new to ExpOnline, weighing options, keeping myself informed/educated

    You could look into an outfit like Swift or other entry level truckload company that would pair you with a driver trainer. You would probably have to commit to 6 months or more, but it would give you experience to get on with an LTL.

    I agree with RoadTime. Get on with an LTL company. You should be able to gross $60K with full bennies and be home every day.

    The Global Warming Hoax.

    Good thing the movie Bullit came out in the late 60's. The plot and acting was a bit thin but the car chase was way cool. Replace the Charger and the Mustang with a Volt and Prius and that movie would have tanked before it left Hollywood.

    Do cargo vans even have any sort of future in expediting?

    When you pull into a truck stop do you see any trucks sitting? When you pull into a Home Depot or Walmart do you see any trucks sitting. I'll admit there are a lot of vans out here and we do sit. I am currently sitting at a Walmart in Ankeny, Iowa. In my little corner of heaven there are 3...

    Or as a dyslexic from Kansas might say: Florence from Lawrence sent me.

    At least the engine didn't rust. It may have melted, but it didn't rust!

    Fake DOT Physical

    If the doctors home isn't the tipoff then being handed a Campbells Chicken Noodle soup can for a urine specimen should raise a flag or two.

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    I do both! I get a snapshot of my fuel mileage for that particular trip/tank and data for the life of the vehicle.

    Career change in progress

    Good luck with your new career. Do E.O. members qualify for a discount on tires? You know, if I bring my van in and tell you Lawrence sent me, will I get 10% of a set of Firestones?

    What's the difference as long its the cumulative miles and gallons at the end of the vehicles life?

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    I find the fill to fill method, over a long period of time to be the most accurate. When the pump shuts off I round up to the next dollar. If it is over xx.50 I'll go to the next dollar and then add one more. There may be some slight variations but after more than 62,000 fills I feel my mpg...

    Twice you have stated that you have the receipts to prove your mpg claim. Can one infer from this that you are actually calculating your mpg based on fill to fill and not data from an on-board computer?

    If people would just support the Ban The Van movement we wouldn't have this terrible war. Peace, love and ban the van!

    My 2015 Ford Transit Experience

    The tall roof, extended, SRW, T-350 has a GVWR of 9500 lbs. and a curb weight of 5444 with the 5.7L engine. Ford lists two cargo length dimensions: Cargo Length At Floor 172.2 inches. This is similar to GM's measurement of "to the seat base" and is only practical if the driver's seat is...

    The Global Warming Hoax.

    Muttly, you should changed the title of this thread to USA WARMING HOAX. The article you linked is about incorrect temperature data for the U.S., not the rest of the world. While I don't buy into man-made climate change on a global scale, I don't care for ridiculous "evidence" that makes a...
