    Phones Verizon unlimited data plan starts tomorrow

    Thank you Scott for starting this thread. I get junk from Verizon all the time but mostly ignore it. You should switch to Verizon. You need a new phone number. Your current one must be almost 3 weeks old and getting stale.

    Phones Verizon unlimited data plan starts tomorrow

    I went to a Verizon corporate store this morning and changed over to the unlimited data plan. It was a painless, almost pleasant experience. My original plan was to ditch my mobile wifi Jetpack thing, which costs me $50/month for 5 gigs. With the $80/month unlimited plan I would get 10 gigs...

    Van A/C without a generator?

    I would also suggest you put the notion of "my little room" out of your head. I think you will find you want the whole use of your van when empty and laying over. If you want to reduce the area you have to heat/cool, use some heavy curtains that can be moved easily. Don't make a small...

    Phones Verizon unlimited data plan starts tomorrow

    Verizon lets me know when I am approaching my limit. I guess I could just change carriers every 3 weeks to avoid going over my limit.;)

    Phones Verizon unlimited data plan starts tomorrow

    I have Verizon. I pay $117 a month before discounts and taxes. $67 of that total is for phone service and $50 is for my aircard thing (5gigs). Switching to the unlimited plan and ditching my aircard thing for $80 seems like one of those no-brainer deals. What am I missing?

    I'm curious as to why you asked this question.

    When do roads generally stop icing?

    I usually hear that the other way around from big riggers on the CB. They often say: " I seen spry comin' offin' them tiars. Hammer down." Or: "I'm a showin' 33 deegrees, lets roll." What they failed to understand is the surface temperature may be colder than the air temperature. Also...

    Expediter golf cart

    The last safety director at Con-Way Now had a similar cart. His had a QC unit on the roof so he could send asinine safety messages while he waited for his 09:00 tee time.

    Advice for a cargo newbie?

    When Road Runner implemented the team only policy they probably kept current solos and let attrition do its thing. Why did your buddy leave?

    IRS Form 1099

    The "other" for me would include income outside of transportation such as my former chinchilla business, Grit Newspapers, Pet Gators etc. Detention, FSC, layover etc. are included as compensation for freight hauling.

    yep we need more pipelines!

    The following linked article would probably be a better fit in the Fake News thread, Black Lives Matter or Occupy Wall Street Now thread. It highlights some of the hypocrisy of these "feel good" protests. This is a thread about pipelines so here it is: Water Contamination Threat Rises At...

    yep we need more pipelines!

    Of course it's for profit. Pipelines are the safest and most economical way to transport oil and gas. Electric transmission lines serve pretty much one purpose...profit for electric utilities to get electricity to market. Would you purpose electricity generated from wind and solar be stored...

    Expediter of the Year Award

    I say keep it open to CDL holders only. We don't need a bunch of undocumented cargo van drivers mucking up the democratic process.

    IRS Form 1099

    I don't know! I started this thread to see if any other carriers were going this route. I totally believe everything Panther tells me without question but this one time I thought it prudent to get a second opinion. I will be meeting with my tax accountant in early March so he can clarify this...
