    Looking for a better carrier

    Howdy y'all Currently I have my Sprinters leased with two larger carriers (since I was unable to afford the astronomical insurance prices requested by Progressive/CIS when I was working with small carriers), but the miles offered by them are lately decreasing dramatically. Well, it's not that...

    Driving A Sprinter For Fleet Owner

    A small company, if they have good contracts, will keep you busy most of the time. But as I mentioned before, there will be less money per mile and time for rest. And most of them won't pay for deadheads or relocations.

    Typos and stupidity

    Finished that today... but instead of a fine glass of bourbon, I "enjoy" Theraflu, Vicks and Robitussin... :(

    Driving A Sprinter For Fleet Owner

    From what I've learned, working with small companies might be a killer. Sometimes they get long runs (I'm talking about 1500+ miles run) with little time to stop for a nap, and all for little money (70-80 cents before split). So, if you wanna try it out, go for a fleet owner that works with...

    A question for fleet owners

    "Fire" was much shorter to say it than "terminate his contract" :)

    A question for fleet owners

    Exactly, that's why I asked here on EO. I'm trying to be always a reasonable person, not a dictator.

    A question for fleet owners

    Ok, let me explain it... usually they keep him pretty busy, the weekly average is 2500 miles, but now he wanted first time ONLY TOWARD ATLANTA, then ONLY TOWARD HOUSTON. No other direction accepted. I do not know if there were more than one turned down load offers. What bothers me is the fact...

    A question for fleet owners

    I have this driver, he usually was doing good jobs, but lately he started to act kinda rough, somehow like he is the owner and he's doing whatever he wants to do. I've always tried to be a nice person, to make anyone happy, but now honestly I'm getting angry and ready to fire this guy. He was...

    New idea for generator mounting

    For sure WV is one of them. But if you don't have logos on your van, just tell 'em that it's your private van and you'll pay the regular car price. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III
