Is there a thread for ST that is like the "the cargo van expediter" thread? It's a killer thread for new van drivers. How about one for New ST drivers? And TT drivers? Particularly ones coming from regular long haul trucking? I remember doing all that waiting was just BRUTAL when I first went to...

This is a good thread. And since it's not a sticky, and it should never get buried too deep, I'ma put it back onto page 1. And when did Panther put in mandatory breaks and stuff for van drivers? I don't remember this my from brief van time in 2005. Thanks! Christopher

Precisely. Thanks! Christopher

Well, I think this about my third, maybe fourth company I've asked about. But there's still a lot of interweb to go. I'm sure eventually I can ask about all of them. And, I only ask about companies I don't know anything about. I know what the wrong choice in a company can lead to: broke...

Maybe I'm weird, but I never liked sitting. Sometimes I needed a break, and I always told the company, and made myself unavailable to charge me back up, usually in the form of my 36 hr shutdown(just cause it's not required, no reason you can't take a 36 hr shutdown in a van if you want). But I...

Anyone know anything about these guys? I can't even find a website under the name they use here. Most of the hits are UK companies. Thanks! Christopher
