Shouldn't you be insulating your van and installing a bed?

2 nuts? One nut in the driver's seat and...Are you running team?

Re: Top 10 Best Expedite company's. You're welcome! You have used the word "honest" twice in this thread, but never mentioned to what degree of honesty you were seeking from us. Let's do a 1 -10 honesty scale. 1 will be polite honesty. 10 will be brutal honesty. I will try and answer some...

I agree, especially since President Obama has nothing to do with this bill, its a California thing. If you don't like Obama, pick apart his actions and policies not a bill that some screwball racist in California pushed through. I personally believe there is no need for this ridiculous bill...

Re: Top 10 Best Expedite company's. There is a company that really is better than others. TeamCaffee named that company in a recent thread: What is the best carrier is the one where you fit and can make the most money. If you are with the best or the worst and you are miserable then who...

Another screwball looking for that elusive 15 minutes of internet fame. Reminds me of that moron here on E.O. who would like to restrict the number of cargo vans in expeditng by promoting a "ban the van movement", even though he owns a van. Overdive Magazine, The Vice Of The American Trucker...

I like the very last line from the linked article: Textbooks could be updated within five years, likely after Mr. Obama leaves office. Is that California math or a veiled wish for more hope and change?

. When Jimmy was a lad he and his sister had a Kool-Aid stand. They could charge any price they wanted and still make a profit. 3 cents a glass was profitable because mom supplied the Kool-Aid, C & H pure cane sugar from Hawaii, fluoridated water, pitcher and cups. No overhead or other...

Instead of asking how much to charge a customer, sit down and figure out how much it will cost you! What are you paying for vehicle insurance, cargo insurance and liability insurance? What is your cost per mile for fuel and maintenance? What are your van loan payments if any? How much money...

I would guess in the $1.70 - $2.00/mile range, depending on the customer. The more hands the load passes through before getting to the carrier, the lower the rate.

I thank we gots this hear intermanet thang ta blame for low rates. Shippers or their agents can find vehicles, get bids and book loads in minutes. No need for multiple phone calls to shop around for rates and vehicle availability. This website also paints a rosy picture of expediting. I...

Yeah, saves the taxpayers money from potential lawsuits. The end results are the same though, the guy gets the snot beat out of him. Wouldn't it be better to get beaten by professional thugs in uniform than a bunch of drunk, rank amateurs?

Approximately 5,000 expedite vans do go belly up each year. Unfortunately those 5,000 vans are placed by 6,000 newbies in vans every year.

Moot Notes (Moot Notes is kinda like Cliff Notes only different) Moot Notes: Florida man leaves 3 kids in hot car so he can go drinking. He comes out drunk, planning to drive away. Security tries to stop him. A police officer learns of the kids in the car and delivers the first blow of...

Fixed it for you.

Hey hoser, we're Americans and we buy E85 because it is the patriotic thing to do. By using a fuel that is 85% ethanol, made from American grown corn, we are reducing our dependence on foreign oil. Why pay a foreign cartel made up of towel wearing terrorists exorbitant prices for oil? That...

Where are Al, Jessie and the media? Which Al and Jesse are you looking for? The black ones or the white ones? Last I heard Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were in Ferguson, MO. Two years ago when those kids in Texas died, Al and Jesse were in Sanford, FL. It really doesn't matter where Al...

Ya, you betcha!

Thank you Dr. Watson.

Thank you Mycroft.
