Beware of charges on your credit card or debit card that are not there that are supposed to be because recurring charges; i.e. withdrawal's for insurance coverage. History, we were leased to Bolt last year and my Son was driving for us and when he went for a pickup in N. Michigan, while...

"Impossibolt" that's a hoot but it's reality. They wanted me to make a pickup with 200 miles of deadhead. It was a nice long run but I had about 3 hours to make it without any Interstate travel. I'm just wondering if any others i.e. Panther, TriState, Fedex CC, etc have gone to the 50 mph...

When we were with Roberts Express & ConWay Now they based loads ona 45 mph average,i.e. 450 miles, 10 hours. However, when we were with Bolt they went with a 50 mph average. At the time I thought no big deal 5 mph faster but it really did make a big difference especially if you got a late jump...

Which companies bid loads for 45 mph average and which ones use 50 mph for average? :confused: Big Al

Tried a search but maybe I am using the wrong words. Seem to get confusing answers, any suggestions? Big Al

Best truck for expediting? Freightliner, International, KW,PB,Hino,Sterling,Mack,etc.? Looking for reasonable power and economy running. I run pretty slow. Big Al

Sounds great! Just right for 2 people and a min. comforts and stil lbe under 10K. Please send me a PM and let me know which company uses you and do they pay extra for oversize loads? Wish you well Big Al

I agree that RVing is totally different. All the miles on our van have been expediting, which we've done since the late 90's with Roberts, then ConWay and more recently Bolt. Perhaps we'll just start up again with a newer gas van after the first of the year and see how it goes. Been down for...

I think this is a little off course, so I'll be more specific. Does the following companies use aerocell or cube style vans: Load 1, Express 1, All State Express, Landstar, Panther or FedEx? Sincerely, Big Al

Logging is not a problem. We used to log when pulling RV's in the 90's. I agree it's less aggravating not to have to log. I am concerned about by the time I add a small generator,air conditioner,refrig. 2 deep cycle batteries I'll run out of space and severally restrict my load capacity. But...

I guess we're more into creature comfort at a reasonable price. Also I don't see why you can't average at least 10 mpg with this unit. According to a search on rv.net that's what most class c rv's are getting and after expediting I want to make this into a class c motorhome. With a medium duty...

I am guessing at least 4,000 lbs with a E450 chassis with a V10 engine. Big Al

Which companies accept this type of truck? Also do they pay more for the additional height on loads higher than 48", i.e. Sprinter rates? Do some companies pay for a small c box with vans with a flat floor (no wheel wells) 91" wheel base? Thanks for your help Big Al Forsyth Missouri...

Hey Jack, Hope all is well with you! I really need your advice about several matters. If you could call me at 417-561-1741 in the next couple of weeks it would be much appreciated. God Bless You Big Al

I tend to agree with you; however, my Son will have the final say. Our insurance is with a carrier different than our regular insurance company (USAA which has always been fair). I am very apprehensive about the whole thing and it seems major enough and well beyond my capabilities. Also there...

Thank you for all the information,it was outstanding! Especially since this is really a foreign area for us, we've never even had a moving violation let alone an accident. Our Son lives near Greenville South Carolina and the accident happened in Michigan. Hopefully this will work out with a...

Our Son is in South Carolina and you're absolutely correct on the lawyers especially with transportation in our area:D

Several days ago our driver (my Son) was prepping our van to take on a load. While positioned on the ramp the load came out on a hi-lo (which he didn't hear) and the hi-lo driver hopped off the hi-lo to open the door without setting the parking brake and the hi-lo went forward and pinned him...
