Since I don't have one, hoping for engine brand, size, year and straight box size, chassis, tires gears etc. Mudflaps and visor I wouldn't have thought of :) I used to have a set route of 500 miles per day + travel to / from the route once a week of 400 miles. I got 21 mpg from an E350 (7.3l)...

Dipping my toe in the water. I freely admit I know absolutely nothing about anything larger than a van. After lots of google searches, I find talk of large high torque motors + tall gears and direct drive. But those mpg (just under 12) match what I've heard the smallest straights under 26k are...

Unfortunately that's what my fuel card is good for in USA. So yeah, I do :( (Edit: yes I use gasbuddy + cash most often, but its January. No money) Edit edit: ok I just realized its February

My last load was 500lb and I got just over 20 mpg (not great with a 2.7) It happens during Toronto rush hour, and without fail, I get a call asking my eta lol Floor it - drive thru Toronto on 401 - floor it 5 hours for 200 miles, google said my average speed was just over 40 mph...

Didn't watch it myself, I've talked to a few hot shotters and still can't figure out how they make money. At 11 mpg just buy a damn truck instead of a pickup But the fact remains, the newbies forum is always the same questions. Nobody talks about numbers, and I could never understand why. Over...

I used to slag an average of 1500# of turbine blades on and off my van every weekday. Others would show up and demand to be loaded. Funny enough, they'd ask for me to pick up lol Translated to guaranteed all miles income for 9 years. But if I showed up and there wasn't freight: full pay is what...

I just want to know. How do the customers get away without paying detention? Does the contract mean nothing? (Not that it solves the drivers lost time and revenue but it beats a kick in the ass)

New van, agree 100% If you only have 1 van...at least for me, it's worth having almost 14' for the 1 or 2 loads a month that need it. Not only does it get me offers quicker when home, it's easier to find a backhaul when something is available that all the shorter vans can't take. (For...

No comment :p

I think I have too much freedom, one delivery a week...

Here I am a Canadian, been to 16 states but never west of my own province

Lol. It'd be more entertaining just to read u guys back n forth :p Waiting on freight...

Ive been home for a week. What day is it? No idea :p I'll take your word for it

Well, got it. Shorty, but I'll take it. Time to get my crap organized in the back, these guys use all my space Edit: had a great conversation with FlyingVan, I'm beginning to think he's right about straights.

Ooh, a load offer...

Wow I just saw hotels. Need another driver?:D (Kidding)

There ya go

Ah I see where you're going. Could have saved the hassle leasing those vans to a carrier, and spared his family the hassle. So he's not a driver, was able to do his regular work, pay off 4 vans in about a year, makes nearly 20% profit (although I didn't see the van payments in those numbers) I...

Just thank god someone posted numbers instead of treating it like a trade secret. Thank you for the post! If your drivers are happy and you cleared over $100k of course its good. Sure you could work on bringing up revenue per mile in the future, but very few "new to expedite" have accomplished...

Yay! My pay stub got emailed. I OWE money :confused2: So glad I came back in January
