    Why do so many contractors who 1099 off of owners suck balls?

    There's going to be a real shortage of people answering that they suck balls I'm a contractor but I pay for my own insurance. Last run was 3.97 a mile usd - I don't really understand why people do the 1099 thing but it's probably because it's easy

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    To answer the last - you didn't, the only way you could have known is to do it. Best way is as a driver with someone else's equipment The dream that they play to on social media doesn't exist. It's been said time and again here but people would rather believe in something positive I guess

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    Appreciate the reply I've been at this a long time, and have been wondering what all these people getting new MC#s are planning on doing with them I started same way, and just by accident got a 5 day a week route that paid off the van. Never again Still in the business, but always paid off...

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    I can see you are unhappy and I get it. I'm interested to hear, what made you think it wouldn't be that way? Social media, or a recruiter? I'm just curious

    Moving to straight truck?

    I enjoy reading your posts so don't take this the wrong way; but have you ever heard it's easier to steer when you are moving and not sitting still? I broke into the business paying a $2000 "job finding fee" at a parasitic loan compnay in 2006, then paid off a lease to own deal which ended up...

    What Is My Title?

    That's a HORRIBLE story and I'm sorry it happened to you. Was hoping it was at least a little funny. Last year, a reputable carrier stopped paying me. It was a complicated route and was for a leg I was involved in. $15,000 and I HAD A CONTRACT. Maybe people will read these and smarten up?

    What Is My Title?

    Yes my response was sarcastic asking for drivers. I'm an owner op If you have resources and don't mind, try it. Not being paid as agreed is most likely the worst thing that could happen to you, although drivers can get mixed up in double brokered theft scams thru no fault of their own PS if it...

    Sprinter cargo van load board

    Everybody used to use Sylectus for expedited Careful, I'm told a lot has changed in 7 years, not only expensive with garbage rates but they don't let you cancel easily The rest have a little on each. If you are posting, just ask for "small straight" and the floodgates will open

    How to get your cargo or sprinter van inspected

    :p I'm laughing WITH you not AT you Forget the brokers. Even when your MC/DOT ages out at 3 yrs, this alone will cause a huge number to ignore you Save yourself some hassle and find a forwarder, or call the larger brokers individually until you get someone who specializes in under 10k loads...

    Boss wants me to buy a Sprinter

    Is he going to sell it official, or take it off your pay? I might do this if it isnt a legal bill of sale, but a rent to own PAID FOR BY HIM. In other words, fine you'll take the sprinter off his hands if he gives you the work to pay for it (paying you more in the end than you could make on...

    Cargo Van Thinking about coming back into expediting ?

    From what I see, it's bad with all types of freight / size of trucks. Not just amount, but what they are paying. Tough time to come back unless you land somewhere with a ton of regular customers Fell off a cliff partway thru 2023, at least for me - while 2022 was a record year

    There's gotta be a better way

    Ok, update I saw one of the Promaster cab chassis with Volens sleeper units... WITH A HARDSHELL BOX. So it exists. Previous comment applies, I don't think it was traveling even 50 mph; he was probably trying to not spend everything he just made getting back home :)

    There's gotta be a better way

    I haven't personally seen one under 10,000 lb manufacturer plate WITH dual wheels (but I get you might be just trying to show the box) Try and rent something. Last week I got 10.3 mpg in my E250 with the short body. You don't want to be stuck with a combo that is too expensive to make money...

    There's gotta be a better way

    Huh? Hauling more weight under 10,000 has been solved; a Promaster is about 4200 lb curb and a 3500 can take 3 skids Why I said "huh" I'm trying to understand why you would want to haul 6 empty pallets What is the question, how to haul 6 skids while the truck stays unregulated? Even if they...
