Congrats on the Canadian bucks but my example was $103,123 USD; that FEdEx CC team had no homelife either.

I haven't net $50K in vans since starting in 1989. I have seen documentation of one van team and one van solo that have done it; $103K gross to the team and $88K gross to the solo. Many others have said they did it, but I think they were being a bit careless with the truth.

Hobo I don't recall ever saying, or believing, that all expedite companies are the same, if I did, you take my comment out of context. I have no personal knowledge of the operating policies of Nations. I chose them because they devote a lot of time operating out of the GA and Carolina's, the...

Talk to Nations, then compare with the larger companies

As we near the end of another eventful year, I'd like to give a thanks on this eve of Christmas to the folks that give us the medium that brings all of us to a common venue, ExpeditersOnline Forum. It takes quite a gang of folks to keep our forum and its' family of web based, print, live, and...

RE: Two Kinds of Whether required or not required by your carrier or the government, I think it would be a wise business decision for a CDL holder to get a drug and alcohol test after any accident. There are too many litigious people in this world who would see the logo on your truck and...

With 30+ years behind the wheel, y'all have certainly heard of, or been to, the Mid America Trucking Show (MATS) being held in Louisville in March. http://www.truckingshow.com/ But, did you know that the ExpeditersOnline folks at On Time Media host an extravaganza called Expediter Experience...

Since we're on a poem kick, here's an appropriate rerun. The following poem was found within my late father's belongings. Now that all the stores are displaying Christmas decorations, it's a good time to share with all. Der Little Fur Cap Der next night vas Christmas, der night it vas still...

I have been using Michelin E rated tires as replacements on each of my vans. Typically I get upwards of 185,000 miles on each set. I think tirre pressure and frequent rotations are the key to long life. I keep 65# front and 75# rears,when cold. Costco has been a great place for me. I pay...

JohnO said it all...research is so important whenever you are about to enter an unfamiliar territory. You said it yourself, a 60/40 or 40/60 split is typical so a huge red flag should have popped up on your screen when you were offered an 85/15 split. Good luck on your next try.

Congratulations...could this be another EO forum member?

In a former life, when I commuted to St Louis, I had an arrangement with a nearby church that allowed me to park there for a monthly 'donation' I paid about half that charged by the commercial garage. Perhaps a similar arrangement could be made with a Chicago church, particularly one with a...

It's not a trucking company thing, it's an employer thing. Your work history, credit history, driving history and criminal/non-criminal background all provide a prospective employer a measure of your character and potential as the type of person with which they would like to have on the...

RE: Need recomendations for required cargo control Depends. What types of freight does your carrier typically haul? Do you habdle a lot of pieces where you'd need a two wheel dolly? Will you need a specialty dolly. Rachet straps and cinch straps are always required. A couple of D rings for...

We often chill at the mall at the intersection of 90 and 290. Good eateries, shopping and just plain lurking.

During the past couple of years I have observed my Garmin miles, Odometer miles (less fuelin n eatin stop miles) and Qualcomm run offer miles to be inceredibly close, so close, plus or minus, that it's a non-issue with us. As mentioned above, the law of averages usually settles things...
