I found a typo in the above linked article, at least I hope it was a typo. She currently works for Louisville Logistics out of Louisville, Kentucky. I believe it should read: She formerly worked for Louisville Logistics out of Louisville, Kentucky.

I think the most important thing to consider when going from a van to a straight for a solo driver is to find a carrier that caters to solo drivers.

Opel, allow me to fix the above quote for you.

So has Cheri. Both went from tractor/trailer to cargo van to straight truck. They both worked hard to reach the pinnacle of the expedite hierarchy, cargo van ownership! Both, after achieving that lofty goal, took a huge step backward by going into straight trucks. Why? I don't know. I...

Get a shave, a haircut and take a bath you filthy bum.

You will get better at backing into docks. Like most everything, the more you do it the better you will get. My first solo run: Fondest Trucking Memory

Same for my past year but I will describe it in two words: Abbey Normal. We sold our house and bought a new one. I sold my van, bought a new one and took almost five month off.

Yes, that's why I still have all that stuff. Besides I only shower once a week and sell all my extra shower credits for $2 a pop. I can buy a lot of deodorant and hot dogs with the shower money;)
