Maybe x06col will chime in. He always ran a cabover, with either a 30ft dry box or curtain-side.

I guess I should've stated it this way: Yes, that little Hino truck can make you money. At least signed on with me it could. Don't let the naysayers stop you. If it's a smaller truck with a sleeper, I'll take it. If it's a cube van with a bunk cut in behind the seat. I'll take it. Those...

Press 1 if you are a Panther driver, press 2 if you are a Panther agent. (Presses 2) Please enter the last 5 digits of your pro number if you wish to be ignored for the next 20 minutes, or press 9 to speak with a broker..... :D

The last driver I had in my own truck would do that. He wasn't even paying for the fuel. I told him that if he ran out, he would be the one calling roadside to get the thing up and running again, not me. Part of his particular problem was that he didn't plan his fuel stops. Plus, he let his...

...as are those "Mac" people. If we get the Sprinter peeps, the Mac peeps and the moon to align, we're in big trouble. :eek:

If they say that they have a "stack" of applications, then ask them to let you have a copy so that you can approve who you want to run your truck. Just a suggestion for next time.

Call Commercial Insurance Solutions. The Feds have minimum requirements, but as you go, you will find that what really matters are customer requirements, which may be substantially higher.

Re: Any expediting companies offering fleet driver opp to purchase real group health If you are looking for occupational health insurance/ disability policy, call Commercial Insurance Solutions and get your own policy that you can take wherever you go.

It's time to loot and pillage.

I've seen it there many times. If there is a fatality accident, CHP will completely shut down that span of freeway, until their investigation is complete. Doesn't matter if it's at 5PM. They will divert all cross traffic at the preceding intersecting freeway.

There is an S.O.S. Logistics, Inc. based in Libertyville, IL. They show 5 Tractors, 2 straights and 1 cargo van currently. They broker a lot of freight to other Alliance members.

I know of a certain shipper's dock they kicked off of....

Just wanted to send out a special congrats to EO's very own Moot, who became a grandfather yesterday. I'm sure he'll be popping in at some point to show off pics of the baby with the proud grandpa.

Hey Redwolf, You can come talk to me about it. I'd put at least a 14 though, just like the flatbed you have now.

They never noted that you must log it. It's just a safety reg. If a carrier is reminding their driver about it, they've either been issued points on their CSA record because someone told the officer that they never looked, OR they've had increased claims due to load shifting.

Instead of offering to do that load cheaper than the $3.50 per mile that the other guy quoted, why not offer what a small carrier has to offer: less red tape. Tell them you'll do it for the same rate, but give a direct line to whoever is behind the wheel, and then call him (before he calls you)...

This is not new at all. You will even find it noted in the CDL handbook. While it is in there most likely as a CYA regulation aimed at protecting insurance companies, it is a regulation nonetheless.

My name is Jeff. I am the president of Jefferson Fast Freight, an expedited carrier based in a 'gator swamp just outside of Orlando, Florida. I have been an EO addict for a number of years now. It's kind of like a bad car accident. Ya just can't NOT look. :D

I'm not sure all of those things are really big hurdles. The main thing is, you have to define your niche. Are you long haul or local/regional? No small company is going to be the Walmart of the industry. The key to success is knowing and staying with your one big stick. InTRAstate trucking...

I never updated this, but thought everyone who responded might want to know how it turned out. I took the truck to Kenworth of Central Florida, who have serviced this Eaton tranny before successfully. Two minutes in the truck and the guy said, "I think it's a case of user error." I did have...
