They own you when their freight is on your truck, when delivered you're a free man until the next load. ;) Was making $.97 to $1 per mile when last working for them, if it increases to that rate please advise and I'll start shopping a 2015 model cargo van.

Who told you the economy was booming, mainstream news sources?

Yes we have another housing crash coming around the corner. We are clearly in a bubble. Just a matter of time and patience. Many opportunities will be in store.

Fusion today saying Sprinter rates are ranging from .60-.90 per mile. And Panther drivers are averaging 500-1000 miles a week and sitting.

Getting tired of running uship ready to go back into expedited freight. Uship rates are getting rediculously low and it takes forever to book a load waiting and waiting weeks before departure, imagine the carriers are mixing corporate freight in to be able to do it that cheap. Should be plenty...

Just pull over, many places to eat and relax until it dies! I move around before rush hour or after but you can hit traffic at any time in LA. Usually just go with it and hope for the best or pull over as mentioned.

I'd say the best class 6 rig, given Volvo doesn't make one. Looks to have a real good turning radious and I don't think anyone has them beat on fuel economy right now. I'd go with that extended cab option or the 4 door version. Saw one in LA recently that was older. Staying away from class 7 and...

Any thoughts or opinions on these, they sure do look nice, I'm sure the cost is almost as much as a house! https://www.automotive-fleet.com/343398/new-features-names-for-hino-product-line

My advice to stay local and pick up as much local work as you can and diversify the amount of things you can do. Uship is dead, rates are at all time low and competition is high. How is expediting lately? Local courier work might be the solution.

New York or most East Coast cities.

:smile: Do it all the time, if anyone ask I'm checking in the next morning and doubling up on the continental breakfast.

Gotta know when to roll through, make sure you're going the opposite direction of rush hour traffic. Enter when everyone is exiting, exit when they are entering. If it still gets to you pull over take a break and get back on the road. I always sleep through morning rush hour so just have to deal...

No 4 banger diesel or I would be bringing all my hard earn dollars down to you if they had that on the market still. Still in the 06.

Yes but the border patrol can be dicks on both sides of the border and it takes time and they ask dumb questions to people that are highly professional and experienced and just trying to do their job and move freight and earn a honest living. They will pick you apart until they feel better about...

Hope you feel better and recover soon, looking forward to the new app expanding to all major US/CAN cities and giving the Austin Tx based website (not a logistics company) a run for the money! :) They currently have zero competitors on a national level outside of poorly designed and ineffective...

Expediting becomes VAN LIFE only "Working VAN LIFE" If you're sitting around some park camping out with the VAN LIFERS you better be ready to roll if you get a phone call, who knows where you are going I remember I did a Denver to Philly a day after X mas one year when rates were much better...

Expediting is pretty much a all or nothing gig unless you happen to live in the Chicago/Detroit/Michigan/Ohio corridor then you could return home on the regular. Also carrier fees will eat you up if you're not moving a load every 7-10 days on the minimum. Maybe try this app and report back if...

HINO 258 any good? Saw one today on I-35. ;)
