Good luck out there.

Oh and I charge the driver for the Occupational Insurace, drug screen.

I just put a driver into my CV and I pay him a 65/35 but I give him the extras FSC, Tolls, DH etc etc. I pay for repairs to the van. But I go in half on the hotel room if it breaks down. If you're planning on doing a contract make sure to include things like where the driver is to leave the...

Always make sure the owner has a contract up front waiting for you to sign and read it carefully. I've found that driving a Sprinter is easier on fuel and thus makes it easier to save money vs a cargo van which gets 15.5-17 mpg depending on what you drive compared to a Sprinter getting 22-26...

Yeah, I did a double load once and got paid for two loads when with Load 1. Also happened with Panther also. 1 load going to Dallas, TX and 1 going to Laredo. Both loads picked up near Canton, OH. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

If you don't mind driving a cargo van for a while. I found a good fleet owner by talking to drivers at truckstops and got into a Sprinter driving for someone. I am actually making more money now than when I owned my van. Or try giving Blair Enterprises a call. I believe there is another...

I'm pretty happy at Express-1. It's a lot better since I made the switch from owning my cargo van to driving for someone. There seems to be a lot more freight opportunities for a Sprinter at this company Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Yes, I am required to log because I am traveling more than 100 miles from the house. I have a logs refresher class tomorrow (even tho I don't need it.) And I had the safety dept here at E1 verify that I don't need a cdl because it is a 24' box truck with a 60" sleeper, but it has hydraulic...

So my question is do you need a cdl or not to drive a straight truck that is under 26,000 lbs with hydraulic brakes? Also, do you need a chauffer's liscence to drive a Sprinter van. I am from Ohio, so I tried to contact the Ohio driver's liscence exam station which (of course) is closed today...

You should ask AMonger...He drives for T&K in a cargo van. Are you looking to drive a cargo van or straight truck?

Definitely won't work for this company. LOL

that's what pms are for i guess....LOL

Things haven't been that great this year driving a cargo van. Last year was a real bust with the high fuel prices. I grossed 61K last year, but with high fuel prices i may have netted around 20. Lots of dh (deadhead) also with other folks waiting around for loads. Can't really complain...

FLORIDA SUCKS! NO FREIGHT!....ONLY SAND CRABS.:o

<<<<Was glad to live not far from Orientation. Mine was in January. I started out driving for a fleet owner and I could drive home after orientation. I lived in Salem so my drive to and from was about an hour and fifteen minutes each way. If I remember it was "really" cold....:eek: Most of...

Well, it was way back in 1994. It was definitely hot. Guess I'll have to check the records for the hottest day of 1994 at Fort Sill, but I can't remember the exact temp. The drill seargents wouldn't let us do anything strenuous that day b/c of a risk of dehydration. that was the hottest temps...

Ahh....Did my basic training at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. One of the hottest days I can remember it was 128F. Did my basic from June to October. Hottest time of the year. When I left Cleveland Hopkins the temp was 72 and it was stormy. When I got to Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City it was 90F...

Not sure about that one turtle, they just called me last night wanted me to run a load I had to dh 187 miles from the J at Haw Creek, NC to Bluefeild, WV and meet a plane for a load going 56 miles to Atkins, VA. Here I am sittin in Charlotte, with my first out and just talked to a guy who got a...

Yep, I didn't sit there. Found that to be a real bad area. Went to the J in Blacksburg, SC didn't bother with the Atlanta board. Thanks for the help tho I'll remember it next time I go down there. Hope I get something here as I have had my first out since Friday.

I see that you have said that you were sitting in Milford, Ct. For me, that's a great place to get frieght out of b/c not many drivers like going to that area because of ie: tolls, traffic, whatever. I love that area and have gotten a few loads out of Hartford, Ct. I drive for Panther tho...
