    2 skids vs 3 skids, how often in van

    The Transit is the best. Having a five year old or newer vehicle requirement is a good thing for both carrier and driver. Where I have a problem is every shipper and carrier wants the longest, tallest, newest vans, but they are still paying 80 cents per mile. It's not worth it for the driver. We...

    Owner Operator

    Well, it is the only way to know for sure outside of going to work for an owner. But you will have a hard time finding a good owner because they tend to look for drivers with experience. A lot of people are not cut out for this line of work and quit too soon. There was one guy in orientation...

    Owner Operator

    Hey, what companies are having their best year ever? I know there is a ton of non-automotive freight to be had out there too. Also, some companies might be moving medical supplies for COVID. I am considering another go at things. I just received a small inheritance that took many years to clear...

    Tech Censorship

    The problem is when they selectively enforce the rules. How many BLM rioters posted stuff on Twitter and FB. They took over a damn police station for weeks. When these companies get together to knock Parler off the internet because a few people posted about violence before Parler removed those...

    The fools thought a new president could control a virus lol. Just elect him and everything will go back to normal. Nope. The virus disagrees.

    Launching Fleet for Exisiting Carrier

    You can become a broker and then get loads from other carriers to give your O/O. But I have never seen O/O in a truck work for multiple trucking companies, only multiple brokers. Do you know about big truck load boards? A big one is CH Robinson. DAT. There are more. Usually O/O in a big truck do...

    Owner Operator

    Just call Bolt Express, lease on and go all in. You have to be like a junkie/gambler and go all in to see what it's like. It will take you a least six months to tell whether or not you are making any money, or if you are breaking even. I made 16k gross my first six weeks with Bolt back in 2010...

    On-Demand Program

    Do you have your own Liability and cargo insurance? A good company I used to work with is Express Logistics out of Erie PA. They are very professional and pay on time. I think they used t pay 80 cents per mile for cargo van loads. Also, they get a lot of loads to and from rail yards. They...

    It's July - Is everyone on vacation or something?

    I am, but if this trend keeps up, there will be no more offices left to clean. I have already seen a few desks cleared out, and one this weekend. The guy who is in charge and hired my company to clean, the office my boss said to pay extra attention to had been cleaned out. No more degrees...

    Staying Cool in this Heat

    A roof top mounted A/C unit used to cost about a thousand dollars (to purchase and to have it installed) and they put a plug in right on the side of the van, to plug the generator into it. Then you can look into a swing generator box for the back of the van. It is a safety issue. You will need...

    It's July - Is everyone on vacation or something?

    I'm waiting to pounce and become the top dog expediter again. In an undisclosed location performing janitorial services to empty buildings because no one is working in the offices any more. I'm just waiting for these customers to realize they do not need to pay for cleaners when the buildings do...

    It's July - Is everyone on vacation or something?

    I got banned from eHarmony and Christian mingle lol. I guess I was a bit too aggressive for them. Still too young to try Ourtime. But I will more than likely get banned from there soon enough. As long as EO will have me, all is good. I hope you have some fun. All those years of hard time in the...

    Kinda rough so far

    I loved working for Bolt. Back in early 2010, when I first signed on with them, they ran me non-stop for six straight weeks. I think I grossed 16k in 6 weeks? It was something close to that. I took every load they gave me and it was a very good ride. I should have stayed with them, but I am hard...
