Curious about how many of you have med/health insurance? If you do, how good is the coverage? costs? Do the expediting companies offer good discounts on the insurance they offer?

Have another post on here asking about expediting companies that hire company drivers, but how are straight truck drivers driving for fleet owners doing? I know driving someone elses van is not a good idea from what I read, but what about straight truck? I'm torn between buying a van or...

Are there any expediting companies that employ company drivers? How about OTR companies that use straight trucks (company drivers)? I would feel better working for a company as opposed to being at the mercy of an individual owner as far as truck maintenance is concerned, secure in receiving my...

Quick question, how much fuel per hour is used when idling a straight truck? I know it depends on the truck, if its in good condition, but I'm just looking for general ballpark numbers. Thanks.

Right now with my local driving job, alot of these issues I never had to deal with, so here are my questions? I' ll be starting expedite driving in a straight truck for an o/o hopefully in about a week. I'm trying to plan to idle as least as possible to save on the gas. I read on this site...

So here is maybe a weird question. I know parking can be tough for tractor trailers to find at truck stops, so as a straight truck do they get somewhat pi**** because you are parking in a spot they could use. Do they see us as not real truckers because its a straight truck? or is there...

I live in the Chicago area, new to expediting, have a CDL w/hazmat, I'm curious, could I also make good money running a van for a owner operator if I run hard since I can be off the log books in a van? Or am I better off in a straight truck? Thanks for sharing your advice and experience.

I've doing my research and am most likely leaning toward expedite, but I've realized i don't think I ever asked straight out the pros and cons on expedite vs. OTR. I am a CDL driver/hazmat, I would want to go solo, no major hometime issues, - everthing clean such as driving record, no criminal...

Being new to all this, I have a quick question. Is it realistic to be an expeditor, out on the road for several weeks at a time, and be able to get to a gym regularly. I have a CDL w/ hazmat, I would be looking to drive a D (straight) truck (for an owner operator). Is it reralistic to think...

How easy is it for a newbie cdl school graduate to find work in expiditing? 1) CDL A w/Hazmat (Though I prefer probably to drive a straight truck - I'll explain little further on as to why). 2) excellent driving record. 3) clean background. 4) Good physical shape/no bad habits. 5)...

Thanks for reading and helping me with my questions. I will be starting school soon for my CDL A and am very interested in getting into expiditing. I have an excellent driving record, Home time not a big issue (except for Thanksgiving, Christmas eve/day), excellent shape/health/appearance...

I have a question aboutlife on the road. I am looking to get into either trucking (T/T) or straight truck expiditing. I love to drive and have had various non cdl truck local delivery jobs which I loved. I will be starting CDL school very soon. Here is my question though and maybe my...
