So your saying if I prove myself safe to be driving on this medication, then you have no problem with that? Somehow I think you'd change your mind/story if it was ok. I have been told from everyone that I've spoke with (reg docs, docs that do dot physicals) that as long as you prove to be...

Right, customers/carriers are needed, I understand this, but my question is can i use my already existing DOT/MC #'s, and current insurance, but ADD a bond and legally be able to be a "broker". Or must I applly for new #'s n such as a broker only? I'm assuming that I just need to add the...

Seems that the requirements are the same (insurance, mc#, gen insur.) for either transporting or being a broker. Question is this. I have active authority now. 1 million gen, 200k cargo. Can I legaly act as a broker if I had the 10K min bond???? Thanks for any help. CHop

Hey guys, It's been a couple days moving so I've been w/o internet. My doc is fine with what she gives me and I'm truthful about how it effects me and my skills in and out of the truck. Fact is....I'm a much better worker/person when on Adderal. And, YES...there are generics for this...

OK guys, Talked to my doc. today and here are the results. (some of you suggested what I was told) She told me that she can write me a statement saying that it does not effect the way I drive. I must keep the paper in the vehicle with me (commercial). Finally, because I have a slightly...

Yes, its helps ALOT. I've tried alot of stuff but this is actually the only 1 pill I can take and feel good, think straight, and work without stressing over the worries of everyday life. And my concentration is unreal....esp when it comes to my drumming. yes, its for add/adhd I also have...

I've been perscribed Adderal for my concentration problem. The docs says it will help me focus and work more effiecently throughout the days without having the lag I'm used to . My question is I keep reading about this stuff and its an Amphedimen (spelling). I looked at the fmsca site...

Yeah, we all keep trying to hold out to see what the election will bring us....hopefully something good!!! I would be a rookie to expedite, but not to the road or trucking. Qualcoms I already know about (have used them before), and a map is my best friend. I mean........expedite can't be...

I've been driving for 9 years so far. I'm 27 and have no wife/gf or any kids. I'm back locally right now in a dump truck and want to get back on the road. With the fuel going crazy lately....is this a BAD time to get into this line of trucking? I don't mind being on the road...in fact I...

Thank you guys for responding. I have a few different avenues that I'm looking at with this site. I'm a trucker myself and not html savy, but I think I'm doing enough that its a decent page. I think maybe I'll focus on it being more of a information type page. I have been getting BAD...

Hey everyone, I've been listening, reading, and watching about our recent fuel prices. I have started a webpage that will hopefully grow into soemthing good in the near future. Lower The Fuel Cost The goal of the site is to inform people and bring them together to show that we are...

Dave, Thanks for all your feedback and insite. I know 3,000 miles per week from a leased/large company isn't going to happen. I'm not a rookie, nor a road wizard, but I do know that kind of mileage for an expedite van isn't going to happen!!! I have a couple sources to use to load a...

WOW, thats a good mileage average for 7 days? Thats much lower then I was hoping for. I mean, its not bad, you survive, but I'm trying to build something for myself with doing this. I have been looking at the loads I could get myself, and I could run to Cali for like $1500-$2000 with a van...

Thanks for all the feedback. Yes, I understand I ask questions that have been answered, but I honestly can spend here 1 hour and not find what I'm looking for sometimes. I'm still learning the site. As far as hiring on with a Larger company and expecting coast to coast runs......NO....that...

Thanks for the feedback. The GWV is what the vehicle is rated for at full load *including van and load/passengers/fuel*. Thats why I was wondering the empty weights. I'm thinking of just buying one of these and finding coast to coast loads. Its either a straight truck with a sleeper or a...

I'm sure this has been asked, but I couldn't find a specific thread with this info. I need to know some specs and mileage for these cargo vans, not a sprinter, but a cargo van. 1. What kinda loaded/empty miles are you guys running?? 2. What is the general empty weight on a 2500/3500...

Dhalltoyo, Email that list to me at [email protected] ! Thanks for all the input. I completly forgot about anything under 10K not needing logs n such. I'm soo used to running a t/t setup. But it would be nice to know which states are picky and which arnt.

Actually its really just 1 question. You guys that are running these sprinters and cargo vans. You are all marked as commercial vehicles so you can't just shoot by the coops or what not. My question is this. How does the sleeper in these trucks/vans work? Does DOT hassel you? I used...

I've been interested in purchasing a T-300 in the future. I have been researching these trucks and they're price and use seems to be worth while! I have a couple ideas, but would like some feedback on them and personal ideas and experiences from the seasond o/o's and or "good" company guys...
