    What makes a company good to lease on to?

    There wouldn't be the turn over rate if in orientation the truth was told about practices in expediting.Most companies don't tell you that after you do your load you may sit 1 or 2 days till you get your next load.They don't tell you that the average expedite load only needs a team because the...

    What makes a company good to lease on to?

    What's needed to know is every company is here to make money.If you own the truck you drive,then you own your own company and want it to succeed,and the company you lease to also needs to make money for them to succeed.That company can't just caterer to any one individual,so if the company that...

    Replacing batteries

    You may as well just go to the yellow pages ,and start calling around.Figure out what CCA's you need,and get prices.The higher the cold cranking amps,the shorter the life of the battery.I have my best luck with Alliance batteries.You get them either at TA truck stops or your friendly...

    OK. What is the best company to drive for?

    Solo in Texas,my friend,all I have to say is good luck.Do you realize the expedite business is hauling freight that is needed in most cases right away.A solo can't cross the state of Texas over night,and expedite freight usually loads in the afternoon,when shippers find they can't get their...

    orientation

    Just finished 3 days of orientation.Was very informative,instructor was good at his job,and nothing seemed to be sugar coated.Was this better than other orientations I've been to,not saying better,but just as good.You should be able to take your first load and not have a problem.

    Not Happy like many of You

    Whats the big deal here?If a van can take a 2500 lb load,it doesnt matter if it weights 1 lb or 2500 lbs,its still a van load.The only thing that changes,is the hand load and unload.This should raise the price of having fun.If the carrier can't adjust the pay,then to me its a reason for turn down.
