I might be mistaken but I think it's class C same with FXCC. I gotta imagine a reportable quantity hazmat load for a van would be super rare though. Anyway to OP, obviously you can make more money having your own van, but it will be worth it to you to drive for a owner first. Learn how every...

First thing is you have to find an owner that would let you solo, if you can do that and you stay in the good freight areas for expediting. Its probably more profit for you that way than splitting with a teammate, but obviously a team is the owners best interest. I did team driving in a st for a...

As you probably know the van market will stay pretty saturated, a lot of competition, some brokers keep their van count in line with their expected business demands, and some will just take on vans no matter what. Panther is the latter. While it's good for panther to be able to cover the most...

How about the ATC is straight trucks? I've heard it's not really worth much in a TT with air brakes but a ST with disc brakes?

Wow that sucks. I guess just because the roads are clear doesn't mean parking lots are. Appreciate the help.

Though the average winter if you had to estimate how many days will you deal with icy conditions?

So it really need to be a daily thing of paying attention to where the snow and rain falls and assume if your in that area the following day or two that it will re freeze? Then when you get to that area what would be the warning sign that there is indeed ice? from what I see in pics it just...

I'm in a freightliner straight truck with a sleeper and this season will be my first time driving in winter for the most part. I had a few snow drives in my 4 months of TT but nothing that changed the roads. Also I'm from coastal South Carolina, we don't do snow. So in a nutshell I'm nervous...

Also the trucking jobs section will give a list of companies sorted by vehicle type. Then you can probably do some googling to find some other ones.

Almost any big name reputable broker will do direct deposit. Are you talking about running for an owner or being an owner operator. Either way they should be doing direct deposit or I would question it. O/o: Line haul + fsc + bonuses (layover, hand unload, negotiated bonus etc) - fuel -...

1. Theres not a lot of Freight moving out of south Florida, especially for a van. 2. The van market is saturated....more vans than are needed for freight demands. So they can be choosey about who they take on. 3. It's going to be a liability getting you close to home for home time and getting...

If you're in a van, stay away from panther. STs and TTs can do good.

I would look for someone with more recent experience in my opinion. But it could work out. It depends on the type of lease. If it's a weekly payment and you can cancel at anytime then it's not so much of a commitment. But if it's a year or 6 month lease I would stay away. Fact is you never...

That sucks. He should get back into expediting so he has zero.

First time I went through port huron I remember thinking to myself "this is the myrtle beach of the north" they are very similar layouts....except you have a lake and we have an ocean.

This guy gets it.

Yeah. I live in myrtle beach SC so it's all tourism economy here. Not much to earn. Hell local class a deliveries make only like 13 to 17 an hour. So my experiences with a "regular job" are a bit skewed. I still wouldn't wanna do it over expediting.

Since the end of last year I've worked a "regular job". 10 dollars an hour. I make about 300 a week working full time. No benefits. Yes a tiny bit of my taxes are being paid by getting the w2. By the way, unless you have a degree or technical skill, coming across a job with benefits isnt easy...

Look, you'll make more expediting than you will at a regular job, as people are suggesting You do instead. But, it's a lifestyle and not a job. Do not invest money into it into you are sure you'll be willing to follow through. Expediting has a fantastic try before you buy program, driving for...

Every time you go out of state? Thats really terrible I feel for you. This is an expediting company?? Go home, take your stuff out of the van, then tell them you want to bring the truck back. I'm sure they hold your pay a few weeks, get ready for them to screw you out of that. Not much you can...
