You state you live in MI. Check out CTX in Warren MI. I ran with them for a year and did pretty good. It is my understanding that CTX has made a lot of improvements. There are others (probably many) in the state. CTX more than likely is still paying a percentage.

With mileage, you know up front what you are going to make, ie, if your contract reads .85 cpm, then you can eaisly figure out what you made after your trip with expenses. On the percentage side, your contract will specify what percentage of the tariff (what the company booking the freight is...

Tinman, don't get discouraged with Eagle, I'm running with them and doing good. Home weekends and about 3 or 4 nights during the week. Post your email address and I will send you info.

I stand corrected (possibly). After doing further reading, I may have confused "Workmans Comp" with "Short Term Disability" and therefore I guess I have answered my own question. Guess it's best to put the horse before the cart.

A question in regards to "Workmans Comp Insurance" which many drivers are having to pay for. First off it is my OPINION and only an opinion that this insurance "covers your employees, not you personally". Am I wrong? If so why would an owner/driver have to purchase this insurance? Next...

This may or may not help, I'm not familiar with the Ford. You may want to consider dropping by a Best Buy installation shop and ask them. I know that during the times that I have had several things installed they had to remove a major part of the dash trim. I'm sure they would be glad to tell...
