thank you for all your replies.

I understand that a large percentage of small business people do not make the grade. I also understand that there is a glut of vans out there and a lot don't make it in this business. My question is , where are all the used vans that should be out there. I haven't been able to find many. Or do...

As long as you came out OK, the truck can be replaced, you can"t

And how many times has your freight pulled a gun on you? The taxi drivers can have it, two killed in my area in the last month. Wouldn't do it for $10 a mile.

Thank you very much for your replies, makes me feel much better. I can afford a C/V and if things don't work out I can convert it to a camper, something I couldn't do with a straight truck that I couldn't afford anyway. Again THANK YOU

I talked to a recruiter a couple of days ago and was told that C/V's were dead, soon they would not be around unless they were similar to the tall/long Sprinter. What is the opinion of the people that have C/V's, are they a thing of the past?

Hope everyone finds a nice warm place to hunker down, be careful out there.

I understand Nissan is coming to this country with a sprinter competitor

Thank you for your replies, I am a want-a-be, and would like to talk to someone who has been there and done that Don't take it unkindly, but I hope to retire the end of the year and do some traveling, can't think of a better way, a few extra bucks in the pocket wouldn't hurt.

how big a presents is the expediters going to have at this years show. I have a choice of making the MATS but a much slimmer chance of making the Expo. Would love to make them both but haven't been able to arrange it.

Black death has been a problem with Ford's for years. The only way to correct the problem, is to replace the whole system, I guess the problem has come to International now too.

A while back I found a Hot Shot forum mentioned in one of the post on this site. I had it bookmarked but my computer crashed and I lost it and I cannot seem to find it again here, I would appreate someone pointing me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. What did the fish think when he...

RE: Multiple things As an old Bus driver myself, I remember the freighter buses my company ran. They were very similar to the regular bus with 18 passengers and the freight box was part of the bus, not an add on as this unit seems. If they could have afforded more than the three they had...

RE: What does everyone think of this as a back up Just a personal opinion, but wouldn't make more econmic sense to rent a tractor from Ryder or Penkse, when you need a back up instead of buying a truck. Insurance, maint, licensing etc are included and if it breaks they come to you and fix it or...

I think the part about 10 hours off is the key and the on duty is 14 hours a day, not 15 as it is now.
