    Thinking of Purchasing a Straight truck and going Solo. Have experience in Expediting but was wondering what others thoughts were on this?

    Is this a CDL truck or is is under? I ask because if it is a CDL truck and if its only a 2 axle truck, then the weight you will be able to carry is pretty low, like 5 or 6 thousand pounds. Also when it comes to maintenance and repairs, can you do some yourself or will you have to pay for...

    Impact on Expediters of CA AB5?

    As far as expedite carriers go, as long as they dont have a location in CA then it probably has no effect on them. The ones who are based out of CA will just force all of their O/O to get their own DOT number and LLC and will still be able to take advantage of them like they do now. Never...

    REALLY NEED A DISPATHER THAT KNOWS HOW TO FIND LOADS 26' BOX TRUCKS

    Just realized something, the poster drives a 26ft box truck, which means more than likely it does not have a sleeper on it, so any of the big companies are not going to sign him on, but if he has his own authority, he would need one of the "dispatch services"

    REALLY NEED A DISPATHER THAT KNOWS HOW TO FIND LOADS 26' BOX TRUCKS

    Right by adding another hand in the mix and dividing up the pie more so that the person who hauls the load gets less. Actually that is the American way, find a way to take from others to enrich yourself. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    REALLY NEED A DISPATHER THAT KNOWS HOW TO FIND LOADS 26' BOX TRUCKS

    Forget about looking for a "dispatcher" and sign on with a reputable company, you will probably get better rates and have access to lower cost insurance. I would love to know where this whole "dispatch service" thing got started.

    Cargo Van Need Advice! Given a Opportunity I believe.

    Even though most on here will tell you that you are better off, make sure that it is not deleted, federal law says licensed dealers can not sell a vehicle with an emission system that was tampered with. Wow I know used car prices are through the roof right now but 29k seems high for a 9 year...

    Looking to get on sylectus / dispatcher

    In my boredom I occasionally do a sylectus search for available vehicles in my area and have seen the elusive 7500lb capacity sprinter, there is no way for me to see what company runs it but if they are going to carry that much weight in a van there is no reason to carry insurance.

    Gas and Diesel prices

    That pipeline was a couple of years away from completion, has nothing to do with the price of gas today.

    Gas and Diesel prices

    Capitalism 101: When covid hit, the demand dried up, oil went negative and the production went way down. As things opened up, there was still of a threat of more shutdowns so they cautiously ramped up production, but it is not enough to meet the demand so prices go up. Couple that and the...

    What do you guys think of electric vehicles and the future of electric in the industry?

    Since vans are not regulated like bigger trucks there will be no more 1200 mile direct runs. A straight truck with a 700 mile range and the proper charging infrastructure would work for a single driver. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    Red cross

    And for anyone who does not know, when you donate blood, they do a full battery of tests to make sure your blood is able to be used for transfusions, if you dont have insurance, its a way to help yourself along with others, everyone wins!!!

    Looking to break away from company and become Owner/Operator.

    Right now the prices of used vehicles are insane, its about the worst time to buy something. If you are getting 1800 miles per week as a company driver, you are doing better than most.

    Gas prices

    When covid hit and everything came to a stop, a lot of capacity was taken offline when oil went negative. The oil companies are slowly bringing it back online, but they are not going to flood the market and have prices drop again. Im glad my little Chevy Spark gets 40mpg.....

    Why electric vehicles will take over sooner than you think

    I would think that when someone buys an electric car, probably 90% of the time they will be charging at home at night. When they need to take a trip is when they will need to charge away from home so we wont need as many charging stations as we do gas stations. Now it does take longer to charge...
