Excellent advise. Read and ask lots of questions through the forum and by PM.

Welcome. Good luck.

I believe you can get a DOT physical at a Walk in Clinic (I have). As long as it's on the correct form you shouldn't have a problem.

I would suggest you look in Classifieds for a used Ford E 350 ext Van. Something that may be already set up. A new Van will be expensive if you change your mind about the life style. In the Expedite Now magazine on line edition. There should be a way to access back issues\columns. Look for...

Mr. Turtle's set up is a well thought out very clean, precise job. He seems to feel comfort is more important then an occasional third pallet.

Why would the poster want a 3\4 ton instead of a one ton?.

Look in Free Classifieds for a used\Pre owned Van already set up. SAVE YOUR MONEY:p

Why not ask your Fleet owner for a "Jake Brake " installed in your rig for mountain driving?.:rolleyes:

I have never been a whiz at math. If your getting (just for example) $1.50 per loaded mile for a 1000 mile run. $1500.00. With 500 miles dead head you just reduced your profit by $167.00, I think:rolleyes:

Doesn't 50% dead head seem a just a little high?.:rolleyes:

Plenty of "Micks" named Francis. I framed house's with a formen from Finland who's fist name was "Anal"

If you want to spend time, quality or other wise with your children. You wont do it Expediting unless you take them with you. You may find Courier work near you. But looking to clear a grand a week after expenses I think your going to sadly surprised.

I don't believe your understanding the dynamics of this type of business. If your going to Cuba or Rolla each day that's one thing. If your going to Laredo or Atlanta it will be a bit costly to drive home after each delivery.:rolleyes: A general rule will be most companies will expect you to...

The "Union Entitlement" mentality is all over this country in the last few years. Not just in the Expediting community. :rolleyes: Over in Mansfield, Mo there is a little Steel plant. When work started to slow down the Goverment stepped in and said we'll pay you 80% of your pay per day if you...

With all the talk of Insurance. I'll post again. Transport Insurance out of Toledo. 2002 Ford E 350 ext. One million Liability, one hundred thousand Cargo. $42.50 a MONTH $10.63 a week. If $11.00 a week hurts. You shouldnt be out on the road.

"We miss them already" Why leave them?

I don't recall what Bolt Express took for Qual Com. My Insurance through Transport Insurance Agency in Toledo $42.00 a month for one million liability and one hundred thousand cargo. From what I've read here lately, if Panther is paying $.97 per mile it's a very recent raise.

With "NO WEEKLY DEDUCTIONS" $.88 a mile could go a lot farther then $.98 with a $100.00 or more coming out every week.:rolleyes:

I would suggest for just starting out always try and save your money.:rolleyes: Don't go looking for ways to spend it. While your sitting try a used Book Store. Readings a lot less expensive then movies.

You might try looking into Carrier Forums. See who posts from Express 1. They may be able to give you some answers.
