Ed, EGL knows I'm working for a 2nd company. They've never brought up the insurance thing you mentioned, but to be sure I'll ask them. Also, company #2 had told me that I only need bobtail because when I'm under load they're insuring me. Still, your idea of making absolutely sure is a good...

Hiya, First off I'm not digging myself in to deep in terms of sayin they'll pay the value of the truck. I don't know that for 100% sure. I simply know it's what my agent told me when I called about Gap Insurance as I was buying a new truck. The agent told me that Gap insurance was a good idea...

Heya Cheri, Rich, & Tec.. It seems like I'm on the right track w/ my thoughts then. What I intend to do is this. If I don't get paid the $50, I won't be there any longer. That much is clear. If I do get it, then this is what I had in mind. Mainly, it's to write a detailed letter of what...

When I bought my vehicle, I was told about gap insurance at the dealership. This covers the difference between an insurance company paying you what your vehicle is worth vs. what you owe on it in the event you're upside down in your loan. I called my insurance agent & was told that w/ a...

Heya Race, Your answer is fine & opinion appreciated. I could have maybe articulated it a lil better. EGL is fine, or will be once I have no Sprinter to pay for in addition to my Ford. My reason for having company #2 is to negate some dead miles. I live about 80 miles from Metro, so my hope...

I'm not so sure the B unit will die off. My reason for thinking that is there's only going to be so many drivers willing to invest in a Sprinter. This is an ok venture if your expenses aren't out of this world. It can be a losing proposition if you're forced to purchase a vehicle that's $30K+...

Hiya folks, I have a challenge here & would appreciate other people's ideas. Sometimes people on the outside can see things you don't. Especially when they've been thru similar experiences. I have an idea of what I'm going to do here, but am definately open to other ideas in case I'm missing...

Broom, I'm selling it on consignment right now. My guess is I'll a few thousand. I'll fill ya in w/ the exact amount when the thing sells. So for right now, the noose is still there. Obviously, I hope to get rid of it soon. Honda, I'm def. glad you're doing well & I mean that. Not wishing...

Wow, I've def. made a few bad financial decions recently. Mainly involving my purchase of a Sprinter. For those of you who are driving a Sprinter w/ success, my hat's off to you & I wish you continued prosperity. For me though, w/ my situation, I made a bad choice in vehicles. At least...

I have this urge to waste pixels, so nothing substantial to add here, cept to say that gawd, Moot & Cherri's posts had me rolling!!! Those were hillarious. Thanx for the laughs!!

There always seems to be this "the other guy doesn't deserve to make a profit" mentality out there. Would I rather pay $1.30 for a gallon of gas than $3.30?? Of course. Having said that, I think all in all the oil companies have done an ok job at keeping prices reasonable in very unstable...

I wouldn't go so far as to say stay out of a van. I would not buy a new one though. I would go w/ a used one. There's a major difference in this industry if you have a $300 truck payment (and the insurance that goes w/ it) or a $750 van payment. Get a new van & you're working 2 weeks every...

Terry, I want you to know that Rene will be in my thoughts. I hope she's able to get thru this & keep her spirits up. Nothing I can say here will make her well. I can only hopefully add support to what others on here have already tried to do. I realize you've seen several doctors already, &...

Hi, I didn't know there was more than one Velocity. I almost hired in w/ a Velocity, & they delivered medicines to drug stores & what have ya. If this is what you're referring to, then we have the same Velocity. If it's an expediting company, then it's a different Velocity that I'm talking...

Heya & no problem, I did read it as if ya were taking a crack at us. Sometimes things don't always come out in type like ya mean it & for that, my bad. I owe ya an apology here in that case. Cuz yes, I did take it as ya were making a jab & not as if ya were making a joke. Take care, Danny

I don't recall anyone on this thread sayin they'd turn down a run to watch AI. Not exactly sure how your comment fits in w/ this thread, but it's nice to know that while some of us are outside the truck, the 2nd team is willing to come in & take some runs. Thanx for your idea, Danny

Noooooo, I did 'not' switch to Geico. What I had was insurance through EGL. I knew when I signed on I knew it wasn't the cheapest, but w/ the challenges of my (then) insurance company getting me the right insurance papers, I went ahead & signed on w/ EGS's policy. I had meant to change...

Hiya folks, No, I didn't call Geico. =) Yes, this is a plug for someone & I hope it's ok to do. When someone does ya right ya wanna share the info just like when someone doesn't do so well for ya. I am not related to this person in any way, shape or form except as a customer. Anyways, Shelly...

I have never personally worked for them. I have talked to some of their drivers though (maybe 6 or 7 thru-out the years) & every single one I've talked to seemed happy w/ em. I would think they'd be a good choice for ya. Good luck to ya, Danny
