I prefer Haley over any other candidate on either side. Upside far outweighs downside. And I adopt LDB's closing line on all of his posts.

Perhaps, at least until you need one. Your reference to all the lawyers might come from the "First, get rid of all the lawyers" quote, which many now use because they think all lawyers are bad and should be gotten rid of. It wasn't because lawyers were bad, quite the opposite. That was when...

Has your guy ever expedited? You are getting real world advice from experienced expediters who have tried many systems to beat the heat and the cold while living in a van. Their information is based on the real world that you are going to work and live in. Listen to them, they will save you a...

Thanks for the comments, drivers. I ended up with a major rebuild of the transmission with Ford parts. Thanks, Mr. Loyalty. Between that and the differential repair with new gears and rings, I believe the van is good for another 300,000 miles of making money. But I'm only good for a couple...

If serious transmission work is required on my Transit with 317,000 miles, and everything else appears to be operating fine, what are your thoughts about major rebuild of the existing tranny or getting a reman from somewhere, or other option? I already have a boat anchor, so skip that one...

I'm a little over 317,000 on my 2017 Transit, and it's time to visit the garage. I think I have torque converter shutter, but also anticipate that more extensive work might be required. Any thoughts on reman transmissions, if it comes to that? I had a Jasper reman engine once in a GMC van, it...

As an added thought, you might notice from a lot of the posts on this forum that expediting is usually independent drivers, either in their own vehicles, or as independent drivers for an owner of a vehicle. Company drivers are usually not independent, do not have the freedom to drive when and...

On YouTube, you might want to view many videos published by The Crafty Truckers over many months. A lot of good information, from driving for an owner, then getting their own straight truck, changing carriers and the reasons why, money grossed in a year and expenses deducted from the gross...

From a quick review of the language of the new law, big tech simply has to be transparent about how they regulate, censor, and deplatform anyone, then apply the rules equitably to everyone, without bias or favoritism. Plus sufficient notice to all if the rules and regs will be changed. Lies...

Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers, buttery popcorn, Heaven on earth. I'm still a kid. You must be too. Know what I'm going to do when I grow up? Repeat first sentence.

Good luck, SoG. But I must agree with Ragman that you should post on EO. I can't access anything else, and I'd like to follow your adventures.

I would be interested in any comments from current or recent van drivers with C&M as to load frequency and rates, productive geographic areas, strength of customer base, deductions costs and what for, etc. The usual info an experienced driver wants before deciding to make a switch. Public...

Call Bolt, or any carrier, and see if they will accept your model/style/age van. If so, what Blizzard says makes sense. But stick with it. Covid has slowed things down, but loads are slowly picking up. Some companies state they are having their best year ever. A lot depends on their freight...

Perhaps some of you have gone through PPP application the first time, or this second time. I have a question for you. It appears that the monthly income amount to be shown on the application comes from my IRS Schedule C. With allowed deductions and write-offs, my Schedule C paper income is a...

Headline today: Antifa supporter plotted armed attack on pro-Trump protesters at Florida capitol: FBI Google it. Maybe extremists on both sides should be allowed to eliminate each other. Dumb and dumber.

IMO..... Sounds like you will be a fleet owner, with a fleet consisting of one van. A company driver is usually an employee of a business. Most drivers in vans are independent contractors, so not considered employees or company drivers. If you drive your own van, you are an owner operator.

You can ask the source that posted the listing for specific requirements. Generally speaking, sprinter van is a generic term now, and applies to all brands of higher roof vans.....Transit and Promaster included. Similar to all tissues being called Kleenix.

If you have no reason to leave early, then you should expect to forfeit you earnings as stated in the contract. It costs money in lost production for an owner to find a driver, then find another replacement driver. If you have a valid reason for early exit, you might speak with the owner...

Interesting background. But why did you join this forum? Are you interested in driving, in expediting or trucking in general? Have you done so in the past? We'd like to share your experience, will share some of ours too. Does auto mechanic include vans and trucks? We may need you. First...
