    Surface division?

    I would guess that accessorials for gov loads have a significant impact if the dhpu and the run miles aren't huge. If they're both huge, I'd imagine the accessorials added in would seem like a drop in the bucket. Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums mobile app

    Landstar Express America does, but not sure if they're taking on vans at this time.

    Our first month out with Fed Ex

    This is a great update. Hope that 'slowdown' you're expecting in October is written in pencil. In other words, I wouldn't count on it. We've been making hay pretty consistently for the better part of 5 years. Glad to see you're getting some of that sunshine, too.

    Anyone using OOIDA health insurance?

    Been admitted to a hospital lately? Those rates are pretty decent, but suppose it depends on the coverage.

    Have to live close to Company?

    Wife having no experience is a problem for some, but not all. FedEx, I believe, will allow her to team with you if she has the proper license.

    Leasing to company o/o??

    I should probably clarify one thing.....my knowledge of the van segment is limited to what I read here. My bride and I also have Class A licenses, but have only ever driven a straight truck, and only as a team. I believe that everyone else that responded to both of your threads, except Dave...

    Leasing to company o/o??

    Almost everywhere in this industry segment, you'll be self-employed, and therefore, responsible for your own health insurance. Regarding that, why not get coverage from the VA? Or are there family members that you have to cover? If that's the case, then you can buy it yourself. There are several...

    Delayed Payment?

    It's been recently pointed out to me that I was incorrect. Carrier must make payment to lessor, under FMCSA reg. 376.12(f), within 15 days. I'm wondering if there actually is a carrier-lessor relationship here that has green formalized by a contract, or is the 'carrier' merely acting as a...
