I got my CDL so easy with Schneider National you'd swear them things grow on trees.

How many miles have you Bolt Express cargo van drivers been getting this month? Also, how about you Express-1 and Panther guys?

I am still trying to figure out whether or not I should go to work for a fleet owner in a cargo van or a straight truck! How are you cargo van drivers and straight truck drivers "solo" doing out there right now? How many miles have you been getting per week since right before christmas? I'm...

Here I sit with no load to git. Tried to deal with it but I just had a fit. If there is no freight then i'll simply wait. But for how long that only depends on fate. With the new year came a clean slate. Yet for how long must I sit and wait for no freight. I am not alone for others no...

I detect a subtle hint of racism here. How dare you insinuate that a black man can't win a primary election over a white woman in a state that is mostly white. You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

Yikes, you made me spit my coffee out onto the computer screen when I read this line. You have a great sense of humor and wit. Man, it almost reminded me of the infamous "turtle!"

Porch monkey was a little bit over the top. But I have met ovm on the road before and he did not come across as a racist, nor have any of his previous posts inferred that he is in any way, shape, or form a racist. Perhaps he was just being derogatory towards Obama because he does not agree with...

Are you really that lonely? So lonely that you can talk for 45 minutes without a response... lol j/k

One Swift driver, in reverse, one broken mirror! That is my take on it all...

I agree. Cutting the rates is slow suicide. But the supply side economics argument also holds weight. This will cause a thinning of the herd which will in turn lead to less trucks -vs- abailable freight. Then when freight is sitting on the shippers dock because there are no available trucks...

What company are you leased on with? Just curious!

What company do you drive for suds? There is an exception to every rule in the expediting business. Like my friend at panther. He just pulls into chicago and refuses load after load until he gets one going to North Carolina and then sits in North Carolina untul he gets one back up to Chicago. He...

You mean Express-1 now gives "solo" drivers runs over 250 miles? I never had a problem driving tired with Express-1 because they never let me run like that.:p

I have a friend who is teaming with his wife in a cargo van now that his company will not allow solo drivers in cargo vans to drive more than 16 hours a day. You want to know what he grossed last year. Well, he grossed the same amount of money that he once grossed as a solo driver back in 2005...

What does your truck look like and where is is parked again?:p

Y'all ought to be ashamed of y'all selves talking about unnatural relations and lovin on dogs and birds. This is supposed to be a Christian place. Any how, i'm glad you adoped that dog. I only wish more people would give a good home to needly animals.

Hey moot, are you driving for panther? When I was at panther I was paid a fifty dollar flat rate for dry runs! I think you're getting ripped off there because the company does charge a good bit of money when a load cancells. Are there any drivers in here who still get 62% of the fee...

Well, I have finally come to the realization that I have been handicapping my ability to make money for too long. I have been fooling around with the infamous "cargo van" for quite some time now and I have barely been breaking even. So, despite the current economic situation, I am going to try...

Sorry for the double post and bad spelling guys...the wind chill in Califoria has begun to freeze my already failing brain. What I am trying to say, star, is that a guy who buys a van for cash can weather the strom a bit longer than a guy who has higher fixed operating expenses. If I have a bad...
