Lots of expats living in Panama. Wondering if trucks/vans provide service via Panama American highway through Central American countries from USA? Looks pretty complicated. Ocean shipping probably the norm, but maybe someone does the overland route? A any thoughts?

Welcome to this group, they are incredible teachers and very helpful. I am doing exactly the same as you and have been, drum roll please.... building it out since January 2017! Yup. That is the truth and it ought to get the laugh it is. I am so close! The E Track has been purchased, nearly two...

BTW, Panther & XPO, BOTH recruiter said a clear and no negotiating position regarding decals, must have them and Qualcomm too. Starting to pick up some names in some posts this week for smaller outfits. I need to figure out some vetting process other than glassfloor and indeed for the...

Ooooops.... does that mean mine ought to retract? :ohsnapcouch:

Great stuff folks! Second recruiter called today, decal research locally affirms taking them off not that big of real. The stealth thing with decal makes sense on the blending in. Do decals ever cause you any no entry issues? Bad example but something like taconic parkway ny, National parks...

Good point and the consensus affirms same as well. I have learned a ton lurking & talking to these folks on the EO. Funny thing that I just realized is that the very first advice I was given was to drive for someone else first. Now that I have bought the van and am ready to hit the road as OO...

Installing Etrack...

Just back from London & gonna have to decide soon. 60/40 against the big cat right off the plane... Thanks for the comments.

Good ideas. Thanks.

New van is ready to hit the road. I have made contact with a company that likes big black cats. Now I just have to goto their orientation got all of the app stuff done. I am hung up on the decal thing. They require it. Anyone have alternative ideas? I don't want signage that is permanent...

Can do and shall.

While I have not yet even had one load on board, I have tried via Roadie and started looking at some load boards. I took a trip to Boston from Asheville NC thinking that while the van is still in the process for being converted, I could get some experience sleeping in it on the road at truck...

Sorry for not thank all of you sooner. Got tied up at LibrePlanet conference in Boston. So far it's Google Maps, and a Rand McNally Nationwide paper book moving me around. My van does not have any windows in the cargo area and I am planning to put some cameras on it to help me out with that...

Great thx!

Been learning about this expediter thing for a bit now and have enough posts to allow me stand on a box. I do a pretty good amount of time advocating for systemic change because while I do vote, there are a number of reasons to think it just doesn't matter. I do not like that feeling so I am...

Thinking of GPS system for being on the road. Have always used my phone and Google with good level of satisfaction but wondering if it is what the pro's use. Did search on GPS here, not a good thing, to generic, to many, whatever... Thoughts? For benchmarking some category nomenclature...

Moot, thanks for this data. Timing for me is perfect, just bought 2016 HR EL eco and am working the forecast spreadsheet I used to try and get a handle on what expenses might look like, now with ownership, I am looking to be more precise. These numbers are GREAT! BTW, what is "guibo"...

Therapy is painfully slow but can do miracles, seen it more than once with close friends. Hang tough. Your posts mean a lot to newbies like me, hope you recover quickly, and keep posting too.

So far it looks my strategy is remaining in tack. My van work has begun and I now have 120vac 2000wrms and 4000wpeak available to work with off of my 220A HD alternator that came as an option when I bought the T-350 9500# Ford Transit. I shall be going on the road next week, sadly for family...
