    One less van to compete

    As of yesterday, I am out of the expedite business. My freight volume didn't justify my expenses and trouble. I wish you all well and hope business gets better. You all be careful out there!

    Hands on loads

    Until recently, I VERY rarely had any loads that required me to touch the freight, but my last two were hands on. What percentage of your loads require you to load/unload yourself?

    Work boots made in America?

    Weight on a 3/4 ton van

    Tires

    I am in need of new tires for my Chevy Express 2500. Any suggestions in a tire that will give lots of miles and give better fuel economy than the stock rubber that came on it (Bridgestone 245/75/16)? I used to run Uniroyal Laredo HD that gave me great miles but they quit making them. Any...

    Cruise Control on Chevy Express 2500

I am wondering if I can add 'Factory' Cruise Control simply by adding the cruise control buttons or swapping steering wheels with one that has the cruise buttons already on it. I have seen the Rostra units and it will require an...

    average time between call and load?

    What would you say is the average amount of time given to you from the time your dispatch calls you and the commit time to pick up the load? I know there will be a lot of senerio's that will change this but overall what is the typical time window?
