Timed one run for cheap reserve fuel in the southwest part of NY. Going thru PA I saw 1 lane roads with 15 MPH speed limit. Full throttle hills and turns the Sprinter could barely make at full lock. If you stretch out your google maps line straight, be prepared for 4 hours extra driving time in...

Murray is NOT the problem. Too many people are happy there (like, all of them)

Uship rates absolutely suck. Just maybe a little less than zero I won't, but then I have no truck payments either

Been there done that. The best thing I've seen lately, an expediter on here got sick of it after about 60 hours and took a uShip. Is it worth it? Well if you're going to deadhead home getting your gas paid for on the way was brilliant IMO

I've been stupid enough to wait 4 days. My personal take from those experiences was to move after 24 h, from now on, to a better area within reason. Where you are in a lineup factors in as well

I'm getting a small hint that some may be upset about the rates as well, and thinking I'm trying to tell them what to do as a driver. This is aimed more at carriers. Its my way of saying smarten up before you force everybody out and have no option but to buy equipment and hire employees. If...

Its likely I would not. Some Americans don't want anything to do with the border. Is it because of our $4 a gallon gas and $15 takeout meals? I dunno Locals here are all paying over 1.20 US tho. This thread is just a rant of mine, mostly over the fact that I can't make a decent rate over in the...

Ram Van CNG sold! Going to a good home with a pump at the house. That's the way to do it...no gas station nonsense, under a buck a gallon, always filled up for you at the beginning of the day... Yes I know nobody cares, just happy I didn't have to scrap it, only 200,000 miles...thank you...

Trying to make a point, Moot :p The former management of a well known company I used to work for, and its ilk, were fully aware their practices would force drivers to below minimum wage rates. Some drivers quit, some went bankrupt, some sued. The contracts were repeatedly broken to puff up...

Lucky. So much updating on a PC I never got any work done and was too frustrated to use it On that note, last call for the 2003 CNG ram van people, if it starts today I'm driving it to the scrap yard. Started every other time over the past couple weeks when I was bored, now that I want to move...

To all still using a computer Why? If I can't use my phone I don't want it. From freight to receipts to accounting its in my phone. If I run over my phone, all my stuff is backed up in the cloud. I do have a laptop, but the last time I turned it on Windows 10 was updating for 2 hours so I...

Weeks off gives lots of time for contemplation. Was having a discussion about O/O stuff with an expediter friend. He'd be happy to take 30% of the gross as an indirect and have nothing to do with worrying about the truck or loads. My point is I need to be so in control I left my last position...

Geez nobody answered. Truck Talk if you're still looking

I once did too. Yesterday.

Its Captain Canuck again, here to keep me in line! Faster than a maple syrup soaked back bacon on beaver fur!

For hire: 2005 Sprinter, able to deliver across North America, must pay CASH :D pm me

They need to dump it. NO ONE can live on the silly welfare, rent would consume 80% or more no matter where you lived. I'll shut up before I get moved to the soapbox lol

Americanese for its just better there. We pay taxes starting at $3000 income (there is a personal exemption of about 12k first) no money back unless you pay Basically a credit there is actually a credit, I can just reduce taxable income

Where I live, only 2 companies left will even consider offering it. I tried internet and phone Those 2 companies are swamped... (More than 30% cross border exposure? No insurance for you!)

Thanks. Here I was imagining you could pay no taxes and get free money at the end of the year I feel better now
