    cargo boards ?

    the boards to not cater to the straight truck or van. You may get lucky but even if you do the load will most likely be extremely heavy or low paying. Don't expect a to make a living off the boards. As for your comment about buying a Hino. DON'T mark my words you do not want that truck. I know...

    Those darn complain and blame drivers

    The first rule of Expediting is keep the wheels turning. Sitting or camping out does no one any good. Take the loads as they come and you may take a short load that gets you to a better area. You also should never get confrontational with the dispatchers. You might be one of those trucks who has...

Your cost per mile ratio would be pretty good figuring your DH miles would be low in the East. The hours of service rule is hard on single drivers...

    Where are the unemployed drivers?

    I would first check with Truck Driving Schools in your area. There are also Recruiting Services available but most of them charge a fee. I have seen a big decline in potential drivers this year and I don't think the situation will improve. With CSA2010 just around the corner I think that will...

    Crossing the border

    I have crossed the border back into the US hundreds of times from Ontario and Quebec and never had a problem. Make sure your paperwork is in order as well as your identification. If it is at night turn on your cab interior lights and do not set your airbrakes, make sure your CB and radio are off...
