    Can anyone who has been around for more than 6 months give me an idea of what they think their average weight per load has been? I'm specifically referring to Cargo Vans . Thanks

    Just a quick note to show all those considering driving how important this forum is when the experienced drivers are willing to share their experience with you... I just signed on with one of the insurers mentioned in this thread for less than HALF of my original quote....and here's the...

    Just a quick thank you....I called the Insurance company you suggested and they were able to get me a rate of 2409 as opposed to the 5289 I had been quoted by another broker. Needless to say I immediately signed with them. Thanks again for the heads up ! Mike

    That Sure Does Seem Expensive !

    I'm putting together a business plan. I have a 2011 Chevy Cargo van (value about 22k). I had planned on doing a little expediting in it...I have 3 years experience with straight trucks as a driver, not an owner operator. Anyway, I had planned to use the insurance company I've used all my life...

    I can see that I can't possibly win. Therefore, I shall ignore your improper use of the colon after Detmike, the dash after "us" and your lack of a period to show the end of your thought. You have certainly shown me the error of my ways.

    Sorry bud, but you're missing my point. In my humble opinion, you're wasting your time defending someone who looks down at me and other drivers because my waistline hasn't been 30 inches since high school. He's quite the stud. I'm impressed....but tell you what....he's still someone who...

    A force to be RECONDED with??? I surely hope so because you're quite obviously functionally illiterate. I'll allow for a few typos here and there when someone's posting, but, if you're going to give me a sermon allowing for what an incredible physical specimen you are then at least be sure that...

    Flying J Handed Guilty Verdict

    Maybe Flying J took a lesson from Panther....my personal vehicle got towed from behind the Panther Corporate building in Seville despite my having permission to park it there, being parked in a valid spot AND having been instructed to park it there ! Not fun.

    The Puppy Project

    Cheri.... I'm just a little confused here. Every time someone suggests a different breed of dog, you have a valid reason that breed will not suffice. So, I'm thinking that maybe you don't want a dog after all. Despite your protestations, I'm thinking you do want a man. So, here's some things...

    GPS, Garmin 780

    I had the same exact complaints that you did about co pilot. Looking to get a dash mounted myself and came across the WorldNav 7100 which they claim is just for truckers. I have also posted on the tech forum looking for info !

    Anyone Tried the WorldNav

    I presently have the copilot which I am, for the most part satisfied with but would like to get rid of it because of the clumsiness of trying to deal with a laptop while driving. I've seen ads for the WorldNav 7100 which is a dash 7" monitor and the unit (which retails between 500-700...

    Board Information Update

    Here's one I can't figure out and maybe someone could explain it to me. Just left the Houston/Galveston board (7 loads per day avg) take a load to the Dallas board...(7 loads per day avg)...How come Dallas shows up on the Houston board, but now that I'm in Dallas, HOUSTON doesn't show up ?

    Free newly released movies on your computer

    I'm not worried though, my wife has agreed to read all your posts in the future and paraphrase same on a level more suited to her ill-educated husband. I've had an easier time with Finnegan's Wake. Back on the subject, We too were in Toronto during the Film Festival but all we could do was...

    Free newly released movies on your computer

    Okay, I read your post TWICE and despite the fact that you made numerous cogent points, I have absolutely NO IDEA of which side of the fence you're on. Regardless, your posts are always humorous, informative, and best of all usually right on the money.

    Free newly released movies on your computer

    Okay, at the risk of sounding "holier than thou" (which I certainly am not), hasn't it occurred to you that someone owns the copyright to these movies and when we download them for free, we are, in effect, stealing? I'm the first to admit I like getting free stuff but what would your reaction...
