Hi im possibly looking to make the jump from van to straight. Im not totally sure how to ask this, but for me driving the van was relatively stress free, never had to worry about being 80k# around 2k# cars and trucks, if i would be able to make my next turn without it being super tight and hard...

Ill be driving for a fleet owner

I'm sure has its down periods but is it generally pretty consistent freight straight truck solo?

On an average week in both what was usually the difference in money after all expenses?

Taking Tractor Trailers completely out of the question, a team straight truck operation seems to be the most profitable way to expedite, but as far as wanting to run solo im looking for input on the better option between non regulated and regulated. Non regulated van i never have to worry about...

Anyone use CreditKarma Tax? Seems to be totally free even with itemizing and such

I heard about the whole "real id" thing as a means for flying also. Theres like a list of 20 states where you have to meet these certian ID requirements to fly now.

Because I am looking to get back into expediting i stopped last october to work local but now i miss it, and being a southerner who isn't accustomed to ice, figured it was a good idea to wait till the MAJORITY of the bad weather has ran its course, thats what i was asking, i know that water...

for someone who never itemized before (only W2's in past) is it pretty simple and straightforward to understand?

Does anyone do this versus getting a person or company to do it for you? Seems like its going to be an extra few hundred that I really don't have to waste so I'm looking into doing it with turbotaxes independent contractor 1099 something software that's only $50 to use. I have a spreadsheet of...

alright 10-4 on that, that one ntimevan posted might be a lot better i was using one of those big 4000w champions mounted to the back so maybe it wont be so bad if i get a smaller and/or less powerful one.

wait what about a A/C unit with a sensor for temp? Say I make my little room super insulated as best as I could and then set the A/C for a certain temperature, so it would only be running when it needed to cool instead of just running and running? Say like a 4-5k BTU I really don't know but I...

Thanks that makes sense. I'm going to look into a way of maybe getting a smaller less gas consuming less noise generators and only run the AC (or heat if needed but that can probably do with batteries). Preferably one with a remote start! Then I can run my fans, tv, etc off of just the batteries.

what about those apus on the big trucks is there any form of that to be used with a van?

Damn...

theres a lot to keep up with as it is I'm just trying to do away with the added hassle of making sure its filled with gas, getting out of the van to hook it up and get it running every time, its loud. None of these are that big of a deal but it would be nice to get rid of these and just press a...

Was entertaining the idea of building a static closed in insulated sleeper as to have a much smaller area to cool, so say I got a 3.5 foot sleeper, with a wall behind front seats and on the other side before cargo area, will one of those high end plug in A/C units, would it be enough to keep an...

I know it can go into april in certain spots of the country but generally when is ice on the road I guess considered rare and not likely?

yeah so screw that then

Yeah, ill just not take hazmat then, while i have no idea on the hazmat freight for vans market, my gut tells me its not going to double my miles, i feel like id make less per year having to always abide to those hours than i would getting the extra hazmat loads, but i really dont know. Then...
