    oh i agree. i thought it was a good idea till he told me they pay their drivers .25 pm and that the drivers pay for fuel and they take care of the rest. Im not considering it so much now. He said the vans will be ready in 2 weeks so im guessing he is buying a bunch of them and putting on...

    Now for winter, keeping warm

    Yea but we live in a world where common sense was left at birth and people do dumb things. Imagine sitting at the truck stop and see a van go off like a roman candle. Wont be a pretty site. I personally wouldnt use one but good luck to the ones that do.

    Looking to move up

    I make no where near 2000-2500 in a cv as a driver. But on the other hand has anyone priced class b cdl training these days. Jeez Most places are looking for $1295 to $1600 for a 7 day training course. What a rip off. I was expecting to see it close to $1000 or lower. But on the other...

Would probably do good to in a vehicle while sleeping in the winter or maybe add two and get up every 4-5 hours to crank the vehicle...

    Texting Ban For Commercial Vehicles

    I seriously doubt they can search your phone or vehicle to obtain your phone. You can leave your phone in the truck and they couldnt get it with out probable cause/warrant. And I doubt "sir I believe you been texting on your phone I have to see it " is probable cause to search a truck . But...
