Yeah right!! meaningful my left foot!! :rolleyes: JOB? NO WAY!! I am looking for ways to become a "bum" then I can get back at least PART of what the government has stolen from me over the years! :D

ummm....get a REAL job? instead of a steering wheel holder? *LOL* ya outta drive a van where the real meaningful work is.....:p

When I ran the cost analysis on an Espar heater, I did it several ways. One was if you stay out all weekends and idle 8 hours a day during the week and at least 16 hours on the weekends to keep warm. If you idle that much, which a lot of people do in the winter, some even more, then the Espar...

...simply fall into a great situation and thrive with no real effort, while others research and find the "perfect" fit for them and thrive. By the same token those that come out on the road and think that being a "steering wheel holder" is all they should have to do in order to become a success.

I'd suggest you contact a Company who's owner still drives a bit. See about teaming with the owner if he has a interest in running team. I'm sure IF you are worth your salt, and not just another steering wheel holder, you will be able to find a ride. I'd stay away from the Company with too...

I'm going to agree with Danny. I know of VERY successful van expediting couples. They are not unique but they are not widespread either. One key element they share is knowing their business and working it as a business. That means learning/knowing the right areas to be in with their carrier...

Just speaking for myself, I wouldn't force someone to take something. But if there is a frequency in which they "don't wanna" on profitable loads, they are not likely a good fit for me. There are too many good teams in search of a good fleet owner for one to settle for a part time steering...

I have no intention of just giving up on my Class B license. I've got way too much time and money invested in this to just stop at getting my Chauffer's license. However, at least I can now drive a van "for hire" if that is all that comes along for employment. I am also in the process of...

I drive a van and I have a CDL. Whether or not I could charge more for having a CDL played no role in my decision to bother with investing the time, effort and money to educate myself on my profession and obtain my CDL. I do not see it as wasted time at all, and the paltry amount of money...

Based on the limited scope of your query, yes, that's exactly what it means. Mere ownership of a straight truck does not make you a driver of any kind, much less a professional one. My comments above were in the context of the original poster's comments. They were not comments for all people...

I find it arrogant, pompous and highly presumptuous that someone thinks they can make judgment on everything from how much you paid the dealer for the truck to how well you want to insulate the vehicle to just how Spartan you want to live while on the road, and then can make a determination on...

kenderliev are you Canadian or American? I can only speak for the Canada side..... Expediting is MUCH different here than you read about on this forum from other drivers, almost all of whom are US drivers driving for US carriers. So..... depending on which you are will make a huge...

seems to be picking up but only the real expediters could tell you me I'm just a steering wheel holder that accepts about anything that is making money

OK maybe I'm not getting it but in one breathe your beating your chest about not being a "steering wheel holder" and less then a paragraph later talking about not having dead head.So you found a magical place that has taken one of the bigger components of running your own business,that being...

First, I have cut my deadheading down alot! The carrier leaves it up to us to move and doesn't 'silently' force us to move to get into a 'better spot'. I don't run home every weekend. And your right, finding a carrier with freight is a huge advantage. What I did wrong in the past, while not...

I did not fall for anything. I asked you what the big lie was besides the trash you type,

'Professional Steering Wheel Holder', you trying to insult me? Yep you fell for the 'Big Lie' with that reply. Kind of funny when you think about it. It is written about in a famous book, spelling out the path of propaganda and what it really means, so clear and you fell for it.

Yes its quite right having fun with people like us.. Educated brillant and all..I am sure the media and the rest could never pull a fast one on such enightment as yourself

Well Larry, if I interpreted what IRT said correctly he is able to determine which loads are profitable and which ones are not. I base this conclusion on his statement that he is able to run his (owners) truck on the forty percent that is loaded to the truck which included fuel, tolls, oil...

Suds... if you do what you say, then I wouldn't consider you a steering wheel holder either. I know we have enough of em in this industry tho. Drivers who are happy to be guided by armchair quarterbacks who tell em to call before accepting loads. Frankly, I don't know how they go day to day...
