I started driving for a fleet owner almost 3 years ago. I worked my way into my own paid for truck. My goal was to be a fleet owner. Since I started fuel costs have nearly doubled. The cost for a new truck has nearly doubled. And our rates have not increased one cent. Ok, maybe a little...

This one may get your imagination going, the company is Sportsmobiles. They do Sprinters, Fords and G M's. There are lot's of ideas here, not specifically for expediting, but some cool stuff to look at and play around with "when you have time". I don't have a link, just type...

Is this the new unannounced policy with Panther? I took two weeks off over Christmas, when I ran my first load, there was no load advance. I called dispatch, they asked me if I took two weeks off, I said yes, and was referred to Safety to restore my load advance. More so, MY PAY WAS HELD...

Lost all sleeper functions, can not find a fuse box for the circa 1998 Alumabunk sleeper,you know the one, about 60", a lot of them out there. The frickin' heater and A/C already quit, and Alumabunk says they don't have replacement parts,but I would like some lights in the sleeper. OBTW...

Could I tow a 8 to 13 thousand pound trailer behind any configuration of one of these Sprinter models? I am thinking about towing a large boat, but it might also make sense commercially if you can back a trailer.

Can someone tell me what the base rate for cargo vans is? An average fuel surcharge would be interesting too. Last year I averaged a little over .20 in a straight truck fuel surcharge.

I was charged $10.75 US re-enter the USA at the Ambassador Bridge last week. It used to be $5.00, which I never understood either. Are any of the expediting companies increasing their incentives for Canadian freight? The company I am leased with has only made it marginally incentivized to begin...

Congratulations folks, what a nice exhibit. I only had time for a half day breeze through but it was first class with all the expediting companies there, tons of trucks and plenty of entertainment. We saw one of the guys from the Chrome Shop Mafia givng a tour of their travelling truck with...

Has anyone tried using one of these gasoline sipping little jewels to power an A/C unit and other electrical accessories for the sleeper ? This is mostly driver seat thinking time at this point, but I am thinking you may be able to store/run the genset in an external tool box along with an extra...
