Very nice Chef! Makes me itch for a.new ride lol. Didnt think you could get a Cargomax light enough! Dale Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Ah Brisco, I wish I could buy a van with a Cummins! My old work truck was a Dodge 1 ton 4x4 with the 5.9... I regularly pulled anhydrous tanks, and feed wagons with 10k on, even in muddy farm fields. Loved that truck! Dale Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Good deal.. next time tho, I think you'll find that few bucks for western union is worth the peace of mind LOL. Dale

Shows what I know! I thought all carriers gave you what the run paid before you took it. Hard to make a business decision without that info. FedEx gives deadhead miles, total miles, total pay, FSC, deadhead pay, etc... with each offer. Dale

I got to watch an 'episode' at the border.... tractor trailor was coming thru, agents swarmed the truck, and were pulling his 2 passengers out of the sleeper... they had multiple border agents with guns looking like a swat team. Cut his lock on the trailor, and were searching the trailor! They...

Thanks for a good explanation there Dave. Am I a perfect contractor? Heck no... but it seems common sense has gone out the door nowadays. It's very simple to me. You either have your own authority as The Col and others have done, or you run for a company, as many of us do. Sure, there...

That has nothing to do with Republican/Democrat ethics..... thats dumb man ethics! Dale Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Hey pookie... How bout a little common sense. The requirement to QUALIFY to lease is to be able to haul 8 feet of cargo. If their requirement is 8 feet of cargo space...... what on Earth makes you think that requirement changed.. because you decided not to give it to them! Bottom line...

Ah pookie, ya dont get it lol. Yep, we're independent contractors. We can refuse a load. But, if we cause a service failure, we can be reviewed. Your "refusal for safety" pointed out that you indeed did NOT really have available what your contract REQUIRES you to have available.... you posted...

Well, that explains a lot. Thats not a team van. Thats barely a single's van. Sounds like some eager recruiter signed you up, and someone else discoverd their mistake. Bottom line, the equipment was wrong for the job you applied for. Now, quit insulting everyone please... you never explained...

LoL Joe and Kim... you've both met me. If I can sleep in a fully loaded van, anyone can! :+) Dale Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Pookie. How is your van set up, that you cant sleep with full load? WHY as a team would you set it up so you cant sleep full load? Is it a short van? I have an E350 Extended Ford. With 2 skids, I still have almost 3 feet of space....... seems like plenty of room. Im lost as to how it is...

Sorry Greg, misunderstood. Yes, we get customers order ' van' a lot. I got 2 offers today that customer entered 0 items, 0 lbs . Thats how we know. Usually its regular customer, usually automotive suppliers who know they will need a van, but dont know for sure how many parts they can get done...

I've gotten several loads where customer gave dimensions wrong, or swapped height for length, et . If possible, I will ask to break down and restack. Ive done it myself rather than lose a several hundred $$$ load. I certainly would lay a matress sideways, and sleep there if I were running...

So true. My distrust of him has nothing to do with race ! I'd vote for a black Republican (or Independent) in a second if I agreed with what they stood for. Its about the best person, not color. But race is easy to target. Are there racist Tea Party members? Of course... and Racist...

Pookie Hate to tell ya... but you cant use "safety" as an excuse for that load. Fedex requires 8 ft of load space available. Period. Its up to us van drivers to sleep around that. I have a fold down bed also, as I am usually not dispatched on loads requiring sleeping while loaded. If I do get...

Why cant you use the milage deduction? Dale Posted with my Droid EO Forum App
