i worked for a contractor that operates several delivery routes for airborne express. they paid all their drivers hourly, and did not pay overtime after 40 hours. when i asked around, several drivers told me that they had talked to their attorneys about that, and that there was indeed an...

just between you, me, and the lamp post, if i were going through all the hassles of running a straight truck (HOS, scales, parking, clearance, route restrictions, etc.) i'd just go all th way to a D. maybe someone who runs a c could straighten me out on this. is the money really that much...

i wish i had known about this site when i got into this business. you are doing a wise thing by looking into this site. there is alot of good advice to be gotten here from people who have been successful, and people like myself who failed horribly due to poor planning. when i first got into...

i can't offer any advice on CTX, but i'll chime in on the van issue. a good rule of thumb is ford diesel/chevy gas. if you want a diesel go with the powerstroke ford e350. i, personally, have a chevy g3500 w/350 gas engine. the extended length chevy rides much better than the ford because of the...

Not too many people plugging cingular, but i'm as happy as i could be. one bummer, though. you can either get nationwide plan (no long distance/roaming ever) -OR- rollover minutes, but not both. that's ok, i guess, cause with my big mouth i'd never have any minutes to roll over except for my 1.3...

i was observed, too. just got the letter. franklin, ky...... see a pattern developing here? Remember, Two wrongs don't make a right... but three lefts do.

Hey, i was just wandering aimlessly through cyberspace, and I found something that tweaked me. this is sort of a guide to determine if you're really an employee in disguise. there are 20 questions and you may or may not be surprised which side you fall on more often than not. the site is...

i was an FCC contractor, and switched to tristate. still haul the same number of fedex loads, plus got some extras. :) Remember, Two wrongs don't make a right... but three lefts do.

boy, those are sweet. i'm liking the rounded one, though. no dually, so it ought to get a little better mileage, plus it's under 10k gvw. i've seen zillions of them in canada and wondered where a guy might get one, and now i know. the internet is a wonderful thing! Remember, Two wrongs don't...

if he(/she) was only keeping up with a truck in anything even slightly hill-like i'm not impressed. i leave the cruise set on my chevy 350 (5.7 for you young kids) and it rarely even has to shift out of overdrive. the only exception i've experienced was with a 2500# load (FAR above normal...in...

FCC wasn't solely responsible for the financial ruin my life has become....after all.....i did sign the contract with them. Remember, Two wrongs don't make a right... but three lefts do.

geez. i wish i had gotten turned down. then i wouldn't have to go to canada :P Remember, Two wrongs don't make a right... but three lefts do

I feel like i have to comment here for the good of my fellow man here. DONT DO IT! let me explain myself. I got started in expediting in exactly the same way that it appears you're going do it....half-cocked, and with about half as much information as it would take me to be called uninformed...

i was beginning to think that i was the only one out here who was in this business because they really enjoy the work. everyone seems to want to make the seven-figure salaries that our recruiters promised us ;) but only be on the road monday through friday, and if possible, be home every other...

Actually, you don't even really need to take a road test. now you may still have that class A, but just for the info of any other little eyes that may be peeping i thought i'd mention MY license. i have an IL CDL C with two restrictions: J10 (vehicle under 16,000 gvw), B (no air brakes.)...

I am an o/o who just signed on w/ Tri State (I came from another carrier who's name I won't mention...but they're the really big one with the recruiting billboard on I465 in Indianapolis just east of the Flying J). having only been leased on for a few weeks, I probably don't have much room to...
