lrjet, Do you have your own truck?

One more thing to consider that is non-trucking related. Don't stay out of college too long or some of your credits may not be accepted. I finished my engineering degree and a few years later I decided I wanted to go to pharmacy school, I had to take all my math and science classes again. The...

You can also go down to Sunnyvale, San Jose or Santa Clara and park for free on one of the main streets. When I'm there I see trucks, motorhomes ect. parked on the street for days and no one cares. The area I saw more parking was on E. El Camino Real from S. Wolfe Rd. westward through Sunnyvale.

On your way down to El Paso, will you take the senic route down through Cloudcroft and tell me how pretty it is? If you're in a cargo van, go south through the mountains, national forest, Timberon then on to the gravel roads into El Paso the backway. The beauty is worth it if you have some time...

I like and use Streets and Trips w/GPS (2006). I bought it on Amazon for 79.95 (no tax) and free shipping.

Drew, I ran into the same problem last Fall when I was trying to get a class B. My final solution was to hang around the testing center a few mornings till I saw a few people taking their road-test. I found two guys in my area that had small, automatic, class A rigs with 28 foot city trailers. I...

Hi Danza, I just recently got into expediting also. I talked to several carriers before I bought my truck. They all pretty much agree that a Straight truck with a sleeper and a 22 to 24ft van body would give me the most flexibility. Most of them say they will not lease on a vehicle that is more...

I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the excellent information on the forums! I'm new to expediting and have been spending my spare time in the past 3 months learning everything I can. So far you have taught me where the main freight lanes are. The type of runs to stay away from. What...

You need to buy an aircard. We can buy one on EBAY or a sales person at the phone store will sell you an air card and a 2 yr contract.

Nextel is overpriced junk and poor service!!!!! I had Nextel for a one year contract. I just couldn't wait to get rid of it. More times than not I had no coverage. For the past 2 yrs I've used a prepaid service called Virgin Mobile which contracts on the Sprint towers. I put a "Smooth Talker"...

Send Adam an email [email protected] he seems like a real honest guy.

This is an excellent post and answers a question I placed in a recent post. I was asking for some actual CPMs. This is the kind of information I need to decide to use the Sprinter I already own or a class D truck. Your Dad was/is a wise man to teach is son such a work habit. Thanks for the post!!

I hope this is not asking too much! Would you Sprinter owners post your actual CPM for the past year? I own a 2500, the smallest 118" wheelbase. I know your CPM may not be the same as what mine would be but it would give me enough information to make an informed decision. I'm trying to...

You should go with a satellite system. If you have say, Dish Network at home you can add on a receiver and put it in the truck for an extra 5 bucks a months. Regular monthly price is around $34.00 for the basic 60 channels. You can buy 3 types of satellite dishes for a vehicle. 1.) A crank-up...

Wow, real county! I haven't heard real country in so long. I don't know who is playing your music but it is totally awesome! Klippencott
