    First post, lots of questions

    Ohiostomper: A very hard working one truck expediter can achieve a net of $1300, but he would not have much of a family life in so doing. You didn't mention children so I assume you have none and you didn't mention a desire by your wife to leave her job so I assume you'd be truckin' alone...

    scales in michigan, and cargo vans

    This is a great topic and it intrigues me even though I seldom visit Michigan. I truely hope a Michigander soon visits a Michigan Highway Patrol Post or one of their legislators and gets a definative answer with references or cites that will remove any doubt as to the need for a cardo van to...

    scales in michigan, and cargo vans

    LFD: Your comments about getting a citation for bypassing a Michigan scale have me confused because I found contradictory current Michigan Law info. I hope someone more knowlegable than me can explain the validity of either your references or mine. If the law is as simple as you interpret it...
