    Question for van owners who use generators.

    I've chained it to the front bumper, in my opinion the best place to keep it on the ground. A thief wouldn't dare to operate in front of your windshield... Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III

    **WARNING to new contractors*****

    This guy had/has a special relationship with the carrier. When I figured it out, it was too late. Before me there was another screwed fleet owner. And now he's driving for another unfortunate owner, with the same carrier. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III

    **WARNING to new contractors*****

    My ex-driver was careful about those last settlements, he took lots of cash advances, so his final paychecks didn't cover not even a 1/10th from the expenses I had to recover the vehicle. Now it seems that he's screwing another fleet owner... Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III

    **WARNING to new contractors*****

    Unless the driver has a special relationship with the carrier. I had this kind of driver for a little over three months, a driver that was recommended by the carrier as a "money maker". I won't complain about having him OOS four weeks during this period, but he was doing mostly shorties, taking...

    Who is supposed to pay the liability and cargo insurance?

    Yes, some companies are doing that. I had myself that kind of problem. I told her goodbye and I switched to a larger carrier. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III

    info needed

    Maybe, I say maybe, they'll be more friendlier than a large company, but it'll be just for a while, til they start growing. It happened to me, by the time when I started driving for this co., they had only ten units. When they reached 30, it was already a different story. Here's an example "hey...

    I've heard that too about not getting paid if you quit... also, I heard if you have room for one more pallet, they won't let you go til they get you that pallet that you actually will deliver it for free. Should I mention that most of their loads are awfully heavy? This guy, a Sprinter owner...

    Good drivers, bad drivers

    Oops, I did it again! No, it's not about the Britney Spears' hit, but about me picking another "great" driver. The guy was (and still is) broke, looking for a job, willing to work hard, etc., etc. Even if it's his problem the orientation expenses, I helped him with money for travel and drug...

    Insurance rates up

    As long as Aggressive kept a low price, the others were not interested. But now, with these astronomical prices, lots of them are willing to insure the expediters. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III

    I'd rather drive for Bolt than getting a policy from Aggressive. Progressive. What ever. For me they're nothing but a bunch of thieves. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III

    Hmm, I was once just about to hire a homeless driver. When I introduced him to the carrier, first thing they said was "take him to the drug screen". Well, the result never came back. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note III
