That is VERY true. Hi Ragman hope you and yours are all good My personal view in 2024, I take only what is good for me and don't give a rat's ass what isn't. Not my job to ensure a large faceless corporations profitability, they won't ensure mine

Wow. Who woulda thought, reviving a thread older than my driving career

This post was over a month ago, but here goes Personally I hired on to an outfit that offered fleet insurance. Generally you need 3 years before anyone will even consider you no matter the price (at least in Canada) By the time I was forced to find my own non-fleet, I had more than 5 years...

Hazmat will probably be the first you should get and most all around in demand Yes you need it for a simple skid of paint

That is the only way it's worth it (my opinion) Certs are useless on their own without a requirement to use them But ask yourself do you want to compete on price with freight anyone off the street is allowed to deliver, or do you want authority to be one of the only individuals available...

I am such an owner now started to make a detailed answer, but why Work for a carrier a few years to get minimum required experience then try again.

Tractors obviously have more to choose from At this point I'm having difficulty with $2 a mile in an E250 You guys that are looking should probably take a job; tractor or sprinter van; and let the economy tell you which way it's going Or, do what you want (you will anyway) and provide me a...

That's the federal minimum. Broker minimum, and load boards is 1 million and 100,000 cargo (or they won't pick you) I have 3 million canadian $$ and the cargo insurance is supplied by my carrier as I carry up to 2 million in aviation parts

I hope for your sake you have your 1 million liability and 100,000 cargo insurance quoted out, and you weren't leaving it till the end of the application...

Sounds like you have at least some idea what's going on. A google search will find a myriad of companies that will take care of the BOC-3, pick one with the features you like. I'd lean toward a yearly membership and not a one time fee, it is possible someone will notify you someday with...

Locals are a great mix for money/home time. I take every one I can get...just watch the rates, make it worth your while. Waiting for a delayed flight sucks

Up until this van, I didn't bother washing. Something about what they paid, and what I thought deserved a good image. I wash it now; best product I've found is called "Crud Cutter" brings out the beautiful white shine. Warning: I painted the entire van with Rustoleum, not sure if I'd want to...
