    What'd your start up look like?

    Right of course and I get that. To my knowledge just stuff stays in your system for super long periods of time (I feel like someone told me a test can fail up to 4 weeks after you smoke). I've never done anything of the sort so I wasn't worried, it was just odd to me. FAST interviews are going...

    What'd your start up look like?

    I'm starting to get the idea I'm not having the typical experience after having to do: 30+ page application 3 interviews 2 background checks (local police and DHS) drug screening (in a country where some drugs are legal federally) an interview with DHS which is pending full medical/blood test...

    Death by DeSantis

    Full disclosure, I don't get how the law works down there. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/florida-businesses-and-governments-face-5000-fines-for-mandatory-vaccinations/ how the heck is this not a 1A issue? Isn't there laws protecting the right to refuse business to anyone for any reason...

    Best carriers for new owner operators

    The latter of which would require me to put credence in what you have to say. Sorry :P Yeah I haven't updated to owner operator has I don't have the vehicle yet. As I said in one of my other posts, supply here is 6 months out. As I said in another post I had 2 options I was considering, a few...

    Best carriers for new owner operators

    3 times where it was contextually relevant out of 25 posts. "Nearly every single post." MMkay. And no not specifically in sprinters, but in drivetrains of other cars. Forgive me for thinking experience was relevant, my mistake. I'm, not looking to sign on with a company? I have signed on with...

    3500 wheel wells widened to accept pallet

    If I had to guess there probably isn't new tires at all. Probably just shifted the entire rim assembly out 2".

    Best carriers for new owner operators

    Thats a whoooooooole lot of assumption. Not that I'm surprised. At no point did I claim I was better than anyone. I explained the foundation for the belief I had. You are the one who made things needlessly personal for reasons beyond my understanding. In no universe am I "having trouble". I've...

    Best carriers for new owner operators

    They very well could. Having tried to get jobs for companies in the states previously the work-permit/visa nonsense was astronomical. Maybe this somehow works differently

    Best carriers for new owner operators

    Okay since you somehow still didnt get it. 1: Not my van. I have a 2022 Transit coming. 2: Have education on how mechanical systems work, which is WHY I gave the opinions I did in the thread, ABOUT not my van. 3: I still can't work for either of these companies being a canadian citizen and...

    Best carriers for new owner operators

    I both do not have a converted single wheel am merely a mechanical engineer which is why I gave the physics feedback I did on that thread, and also can probably not work for Load 1 or Bolt being a Canadian citizen. :)

    Craziest thing you've ever seen/done on the road. (Working or not)

    Silly Toronto things: Having to hop a cargo van onto a tram track to clear the way for an ambulance because cars to the right could not be bothered to leave it a gap or me a gap to move over the correct way. Craziest "run": Niagara to Peterborough to Niagara to Indianapolis within 36hrs or...

    3500 wheel wells widened to accept pallet

    I would be willing to bet it still has dual wheels which now have "stance" essentially. I can show you the math for how this would work but basically the 2" increase matters only in comparison to the distance that the center line of the tire-assembly to the hub bearing with no offset. The force...

    3500 wheel wells widened to accept pallet

    I do agree with your logic about the wear and tear however I don't know where you're getting the number for the poundage can you explain that one to me? My knowledge is that would it be causing a 'moment' that is unexpected effectively increasing the non-inline force that would be acting on the...

    Olympics...... Canada defeats U.S.A.

    Okay fair enough on the whoosh XD to be fair I have assumed some sarcastic stuff before that was legitimate.

    Vacation/Road Trip Leadin Question

    Oh true I would probably try to grab something going in that direction just to get back into the area of operations which is like a 600 mile radius around Niagara falls. I have a weird aversion to flights I don't like getting to a place and not having control of my ability to move so I would...

    Vacation/Road Trip Leadin Question

    I'm not sure I understand a difference in the details of the first bit. The company Ill be working for will probably never have loads out to vegas on their own might be the necessary detail I missed on my part.

    Vacation/Road Trip Leadin Question

    So I've kinda wondered about something like this. Say you're going on a vacation to like, Vegas or something from east coast and you own a van with a carrier. Do you just grab freight off a load board or something to cover your drive to the destination (that you'd be doing anyway otherwise)...

    Amazon - OTR

    Forgive my jadedness but honestly? If everything else about working for any other division of amazon is garbage, why would their OTR be any different?

    Craziest thing you've ever seen/done on the road. (Working or not)

    Something one of my Sergeants in search and rescue told me is that everyone will have that 'one' experience that will stand out in their head forever. Because it was dangerous, because it was intense, or just because it was odd. Some people even have a few of em. So to keep it simple the...
