An experienced van fleet owner/driver once told me that a typical well maintained expedited gasser van should be able to hold up to about 600k. That's the time when the the replacement should be considered. But if the frequent costly repairs, headaches and stresses are winning, forget about...

Find ways to eliminate the overhead expenses. The lower the overhead the more profitable.

Haven't been here awhile. Just want to drop in and say hello. I've been doing mostly short loads and just about home every night thing. Have a great weeks y'all. :deadhorse: Lol....

If the trans was fine before the flush and there's a problem after, I'd go back and let them correct the problem. Flushing can damage internal parts. Got to report the problem to them. That way if the problem worsen may be they do something about it. Hope it nothing major.

Had a tranmission flushed at about 150000 miles on a personal sub compact Ford car. A week later it went out. Told by several transmission guys thay they refused to flush any trans over 100k. They recommended drain, fill and a new filter. Make sense, I like that. My NV van now is at 469k...

Agree. As long as it legal and safe, I'll take it. One crappy load means better opportunity for the next one. After all, it all comes down to customer service and business relationship. Lol, IMHO of course.

Time to make a trick-or-treat phone call to my dispatcher this morning. Lol...

Make expediting great again! Buy a gasser would ya. Lol... :think2:

Left CA 9 days ago, now returning with a load and 7789 total miles driven. Ya, I think I just broke another DH's records. Truely a Die Hard expediter! Lol....

Lol....Deluding, in the cargo van sector of expediting, it's more like a symptom of insanity. Good news, it's temporary and curable. All one has to do is step out from the cargo van and permanently park it.

In general, cargo van owner operators used the rule of thirds formula to break down the projected annual gross into the income and expenses. One third is for the income and the other two thirds are for all business related expenses. So for an example, to net 3K a month, the owner operators...

Sorry to hear that Anna. Hopefully it will be a positive outcome. If you are an employee, check with your company HR department and the employee's handbook under "Grounds for termination," for the clarifications. The company must follow strict written policies and procedures before an...

After unloaded in Houston this morning, I was very happy and excited. Told my dispatch that I am heading toward home in California. About an hour before Dallas, got a call from my dispatch said he has a load going along my way. Great! I took it. Now loaded, Dallas to West Lafayette IN...

I was planning to camp out at J in Houston last night. But after reading the reviews, stayed at P in Huntsville instead. Which was very nice. On the way to the drop in Houston this AM, decided to stop by and check out the J. Not as bad as the reviews have said. Park at your own risk. Lol...

Taking one of those odd load, out and back. CA-MT-TX-CA. The amount of DH is embarrassing, Lol...

Thanks to the LLC, I get to practice and learn how to controlling the Blood Pressure without meds in split seconds. React or Relax, Lol....:pokepoke: :swinging::swinging::swinging:

If the side gig "guarantees" 35k plus in the first year. Ya why not. Personally, I always try to keep zero overhead (Lol..whatever's that meant). That way when there are no loads to run, I aint't stressin or sweating. Ya, definitely not going to have to worry about that new $1000+payment for...

Hey geo. I'd still say you've made a good living for the last 20 years. Hope we'll all will still have some driving left to do in the next 5 years. But this article ...? Bummer! "Within five years robots and so-called intelligent agents will eliminate many positions in customer service...

Unloaded yesterday near Tacoma WA. Going to DIY spark plugs change while waiting.

Unloaded in North Platte NE yesterday. Now heading back to CA. Quota met this week. Not sure about prior weeks. Lol.
