I called EGL today in the st. louis area and they gave me a ops manager to talk to and he didn't know anything really about the pay. Is there any drivers or recruiters for that company that can answer this question. I know geo works for them still waitting to hear from him. Any help is...

Depends on the state. To find out call your local license office or contact the school you want to go to and ask them if they know. The school here in missouri is Southern Missouri Truck Driving School you can check them out at smtds.com Ren

For a class c license you can take it in a car or truck or the van that you'll be driving. I deliver campers for a living and I have a bunk built behind my seats. I use a air mattress to sleep on you can get them at walmart reasonable and I bought a electric air pump that airs it up in no time...

If your looking for a school you might as well go ahead and get your class A. Its not that much harder just have to be able to back up a trailer. I would do a search for truck driving schools in michigan. Here in missouri a school charges $3750.00 if you finance or $3500.00 cash for a 4 week...

If you been reading post here one of the main reason for getting a sprinter is it allows you to haul a little more then a normal cargo van. You might want to think about how many loads you might miss are the extra money you might make. Just athought. Ren

Thanks for the reply greg, I'm still up in the air on this I currently haul campers with my own truck and there is up and down times with it as well. I do have a little more say so on how many miles I run. But I have talked to some guys that seem to run pretty good miles expediting too. It will...

b= van C= straight truck I think 12 to 16 ft box d= straight truck with 18 + box If you look on most expediter sites they give you the requirements for the different size trucks, Dave

Just seen on the news its up to $3.00 a gal for unleaded in missouri they said they have the Attourney General looking into "possible price gouging". Do you think, LOL I even seen where oil come down a little no doubt in my mind its gouging. Dave

I tried to confirm these prices looked at flying j's site but don't see that kind of increases Here in missouri diesel is 2.69 a gallon was 2.49 yesterday. and 2.39 last weekend. Dave

I talked to a guy in elkhart,In today who said diesel was $3.39 a gallon he also said unleaded fuel was up to $3.50 Dave

RE: Everyone says a d unit can haul c and b freigh I understand the geometry of it What I'm wondering is the money side of it if a customer request a van are they not getting a cheaper rate? Or is the company just have one flat rate and the drivers are the one taking the hit? In other words and...

I guess we all work for the oil companies they get there chunck from me hauling campers.

Thaks for the info. I have looked through the forums but I'm still wondering if anyone currently working for Tri State in A Sprinter or cargo van is getting 1800 mi to 2100 mi a week? Thanks Again Dave

I talked to a tri state recruiter today does anybody have anything good or bad to say about them. he said I could get between 1800 and 2100 mi a week with a van. That sounds pretty good If I can get at least 1800 miles a week. Your replies and help is appreciated. Thanks Dave

I see everyone saying go with a d unit cause you can haul c and b unit freight I can see this as far as capacity wise but as far as cost wise why would a company pay $1.oo + a mile for something he can have hauled in a b unit for .77 a mile I understand if there is no vans in the area but It...

geo do you have a 2500 or 3500 sprinter? kinda wondering about what you said about cutting the wheel wells down I haven't looked at them yet but wouldn't that put the wheel wells a lot closer to the tires? And if you have done this what did it cost ya if you don't mind me asking? I don't think...

I also would like to mention I talk to several other recruiters fedex and conway now and landstar are not hiring vans at this time. I talked to express 1 and that recruiter seemed to be brutially honest he told me I could 1000 to 1200 mi a week Yikes that isn't no money at all. Any express 1...

Hi yall, I been looking into expediting I drove the big rigs for over 10 years and have been hauling campers for almost 2 years now. I talked to a panther driver the other day. ( Seems like its hard to find drivers to talk to when your looking to) I asked him about the miles per week. He said...

I drove 18 wheelers for about 10 years and taught and a driving school for 3 years. If you have only been driving for 5 months most likely you will have to go with a trainer again if you go back to 18 wheelers. If you want to be able to get a job driving 18 wheelers you need to do it for a...
