    Exactly if you want the load bad enough you're willing to do what it takes to accommodate and sometimes that might include breaking down the shipment.

    Cargo Van When to replace your van

    Measured today, 50" light on the cut... where does he mount the battery bank and what kinda insulation did he go with? I'm sure the carpet walls help sound insulate. I heard people using do many different types of insulation I would like to do some research and find out the best type to use...

    Cargo Van When to replace your van

    What I'm trying to say is smoothness of suspension, quieter cab, being able to go fast (i run at 70 speedometer speed with cruise on to keep fuel consumption and engine wear down) suspensions seats all contribute to comfort. The T1N sprinter will beat you up after 700 miles, just do a 800 mile...

    Is expediting profitable?

    If you can push it into the late night hours driving. :) I just did a team load as a solo driver tx to cali in about 25 hours (total stoppage time was 3 hours) is not easy. I had to prove to dispatch what I was capable of. You gotta find a way to push and keep the wheels spinning. It takes years...

    ??FedEx/Panther PAY??

    Guess I gotta come down on my rates this week. I ran two loads totaling 2400 miles for $1 per mile but I don't think I ll continue to do that. Almost had one for $1.05 a mile on Friday to San Diego but the dimensions were too wide.

    ??FedEx/Panther PAY??

    Moot the .80 was with the surcharge not sure if the surcharge has gone up again but that was last time I checked five or take a few cents. I heard people say that it was as low as .75 with the surcharge, I wouldn't call that premium pay. They aren't letting anyone on unless you have a new van...

    How much money we make in expediting.

    Millions if you're carrier, if you are a O/O or driver probably enough to pay your bills and property taxes and or rent.

    What are the weekly deductions at roadrunner with insurance included? Are they running all 50 states or at least California loads in and out? Do they find you loads or do you bid on them through active aero.

    Espar heater installation on the cheap, any recommendations?

    As long as its a genuine espar you can sign me up last I checked I thought it was a German company? $300 sounds too good to be true I could see maybe 500-600 with a large quantity like that.

    December freight & fun

    I took a load like this once from Denver to Seattle, 0 degree temps in Salt Lake with the doors open. I had a buddy with me and I remember we was hanging a sleeping bag as the partition to keep the draft from coming into the cab.
