I remember that somewhere there is a website that is kind of a reverse DAC for truck companies. Of course (like the real DAC) the info is just posted but not necessarily verified. I guess it's a moot point for you now since you have the info you needed...but maybe for next time

RE: Questions on Location and Straight Trucks, Whe Get a 24' Ryder it's closer to a D unit than any of the U Haul trucks in terms of handling, visibility etc. Remember that part of your test is a pretrip inspection and be SURE the truck you rent to take the test in is in shape to pass.. You...

I have to side with Leo and I am NOT an owner; just a driver. I think the issue is the quality of equipment not simply age. Driver comfort is certainly a factor to consider(esp for old guys like me *L*)

ConWay NOW used to have a deal thru Driver Solutions where they would train you for your Class B CDL in return for signing on wiht them for year.. Most of those deals are nothing more than indentured servitude.. check for CDL schools in your area.

as Greg said: yes. Im co-driver on a DR unit and less than half our loads are reefer loads. You can haul hazmat too if you have the endorsement.

I agree with the others.. WC should be paid by you and QC by the owner.. Im lucky enough to be driving for an owner who pays both. I drove(very briefly) for an owner who had drivers pay for pretty near everything: EZ pass, TripPak, WC--fortunately the outfit he was leased too hadnt graduated to...

Looks like I will be hitting the road(again) in early May. This time with FedExCC in a DR unit..I think my co driver this time will be willing to run a truck instead of bringing it back in a WEEK!!! Expensive lesson learned the last time out(I'll also have my class B CDL instead of jsut the...

Thanks for all the answers. I NEVER park on the shoulder for all the reasons cited and really havent yet had to park in auto area. I did get my butt chewed by my senior co-driver one time though because I HAD parked at the beginning of the exit ramp from the rest area( and was told I was OK by a...

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Who said this? and it wasn't Bush. I think it was Goebbels?

I was told you could park a straight truck in the auto part of a rest area if the truck lot was full. Anyone know if this is true or BS?

Ive seen Nations Express here in GA fairly often too

thanks for the info. Yes Ive seen one company advertising itself as a 3PL, 4PL carrier

Im pretty sure LTLmeans less than truckload, but what do 3PL and 4PL mean. Ive seen these in regard to the type of operation a particular company has

You can do a lot better than All State out of North Carolina too..esp certain owners with them
