    Where do you look for backhauls ?? I have outbound freight but will end up DH home 90% of the time. Are there load boards for vans ???? or that include vans ??? Also, if you get your insurance on your own, whats a reasonable annual rate ??

    Moving New Truck w/o tags ??

    Thanks ..... I talked with DMV and you're right on .... a trip permit will do what I need. I was unsure how the other states would look at it. I'm looking at using OOIDA for insurance.

    How can you tell the difference ?? The trailers I've seen have the blue star. I was counting recently and they really outnumbered Panther or FedEx 10 to 1 (TT). Saw quite a few Express 1 ST's

    That is my 1st truck ever ... a T300 ST. But I will be driving a TT. I have noticed a ton of Landstar TT loads up and down I95 (east coast) recently.

    Systems similar to Landstar

    You got it .... Landstar lets you use your laptop to see loads available (I believe I'm correct) and you can pick a load going in the direction you need to be headed. I'm sure there are instances where you may have to sit but thats better than taking a load heading in the wrong direction or...

    Down time

    Epcot's Dive Quest is great !!!! I wish Fl was hot spot for freight as Jupiter and Key Largo are mainland favorites of mine. Belize best diving I've done but no freight that way either !!

    Heads-up when you decide to buy a truck

    Please list the dealer. If they directed you to a shady operation, I would like to know so I can stay clear. Many of us sign too quickly. Its a matter of trust.

    East Coast Expediting ??

    Not focusing strictly on the east coast just asking if some companies are heavier in that area than others. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'll run anywhere but I live on the east coast so I would obviously like to run that area as much as possible. Its hard to see what companies have the...
