    There is a decent mall with some restaurants in the area,off 401 but I forget the actual exit. It was a 4 lane road if that helps and you had to go north.

    COE vs Conventional Cab

    If you have a COE straight truck you can probably stick a 30 foot box on the rear. The Colonel knows all about that. One disadvantage to a COE is when JB or Swifty come across the median and hit you head on ,you will know what their engine looks and feels like. Another disadvantage is that they...

    Newbie - Looking for Van

    I think you would be better off trying to find a fleet owner who can then set you up as his driver and perhaps after you establish a decent track record, he/she might work with you on a lease purchase plan. I know of no companies that will advance you a loan to buy a Sprinter or other vehicles...

    I just finished a great read called "Playing for Pizza" by John Grisham. Usually J Grisham writes legal novels but this one is about a washed up NFL quarterback who winds up with the Parma Italy Panthers in the Italian footbll league. Great story and it also delves into the world of agents. I...

    Companies that hire drivers?

    Because of the hit or miss nature of expediting just about every company prefers independent contractors. It is difficult to hire an employee without a guaranteed salary plus a work schedule. But a IC will take that load on a Friday night as he/she needs that income for the week. Companys want...

    Put Out Of Service

    Yes and before the advent of the Fedex VRU system anybody could call up and give your truck number, mumble a name and put you out. At one time they would also put you out if you had 2 refusals in a row. That went away as it was pushing the edge as to a IC or employee. It was very frustrating to...
