Old dominion trucklines here in the PNW has a household/moving storage solution.

IC agrees to operate said unit for 16 weeks beginning on the date the unit is placed in service. FOUR MONTHS IS A LONG TIME TO BE HELD TO THE FIRE AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR! IC agrees to stay out at least 3 weeks at a time. OR WHAT? IC agrees to accept all loads offered by Panther. If the...

thanks Daffy. It almost makes too much sense huh? If you drive for an owner on a 55 or 60% split, you are so cognizant of the fuel costs. This would be a great exercise. The cost of renting the RV would be about the same as flying to an owner's truck.

Here's my suggestion. You two should rent a low budget motor home for at least two weeks and go somewhere. Stay in the motor home and stock it with food so that you limit yourself to outside frills such as great restaurants, etc. The motor home will be approximately the size of a straight truck...

Hi Jackie. Hubby and I started with FedEx Custom Critical White Glove TVAL. We drove for two different owners, two totally different business styles. We had driven TT for 5 years prior to expediting. FedEx was VERY businesslike, dispatch was demanding and unwielding, bidding on loads with other...

Tylenol PM and earplugs. Make the bed like you like it best at home. We used a latex solid pillow purchased at Home Bath Beyond. Go to Bath and Body and get a small can air freshener in the aromatics section - there are some made especially for sleep. If you use it every night an hour before you...

If you are still in Reno, park in the back parking lot behind Sheels and try the Jazz restaurant. Fabulous New Orleans hot hot hot spicy food and walk to Target too. No one ever bothered us in the Tractor trailer of a straight there. Same exit as Petro, just North instead of South.

Well Bacon we had the seller send the VIN and we ran a Carfax on it. Then had him scan a copy of the title. Then we drove a loaded semi from denver to st louis, checked it out, and followed the semi back to Denver. We still have the van after three years. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Zorry gives good advice

We tried walkie talkies but found they were difficult for me the backer to utilize while skill learning hah hah. And it's much better not to hear your groundguides verbal reactions to what you are doing wrong.

Get some orange cones. Set up in a parking lot when bored. Always have one ground guide. I was the better backer in straights and tractor trailer so Capt Kirk was always the ground guide. Use the same handsignals always. Don't let idiots at the warehouse try to help. Take it slow and don't worry...

Dumb autocorrect

We bought a ford E250 2003 on eBay for $3200. Put cherry flooring and e Trac from a wrecked trailer, insulation from camping world. Several for sale on EO

Mr. Miller. Most of us taking the time to answer you are driving and working, and think that we can take the time to type something. Zorry is one of the most knowledgeable and willing to share the straight answers than most. He does not tolerate put downs by any one else and you kinda put your...

We drove tt for several top carriers ltl and truckload, reefer and dry. I promise you expediting is NOTHING like regular operations. FedEx has dispatchers offering you jobs, Landstar you find your own jobs thru their agents. Expediting.has hot spots and dead zones. I liked expediting more...

Fish in the pond here. FedEx will teach you and landstar thinks you already know. If your fleet owner is a part of the load acceptance process you will like landstar better especially with your educational pedigree

Be sure to ask your guided tour escort about going to the FedEx branded store next to the cafeteria cashier. Take a couple of highlighters with you for the handbook. Sticky note pads were also helpful. Try to establish who the experienced folks are and pick their brains at breaks. Make sure you...

Hey Paul. I was a newspaper reporter for USA TODAY back in the day and wrote several published magazine articles. Maybe I can send you some stories for thought when you get cranked up. Melissa

You know you are an expediter if.. You only know how to cook one pot meals in a rice cooker, crockpot or microwave. Your idea of matching silverware is a set of Wendy's fork, knife and spoon. You wake up in the morning to the smell of .. , cows or pigs. You brush your teeth in front...

Hah hah. Retired yesterday, driving the van to Oregon, and its ALL true!!!!! Here's more: You drive by the truckstop and check the fuel price and look for expediters in the front. You forget to park in the car section of the rest area. You pull around to the fuel island not the gas pumps...
