Indy: The truth hurts when you're doing something you like and have a few dollars in your pocket for doing so. The truth of the matter is that you are earning considerably less than a typical van operator. You say that you "come out ahead" by earning $1028.25 for driving 2285 miles, Thats 45...

The ATT costs I mentioned were expensive, but not excessive. It was the Canadian tariffs I received on a subsequent bill that shocked me. As I recall, a short call was in excess of $20.

This new procedure will require the use of a telephone while in Canada. I always deactivate my phone when entering Canda because the Canadian charges on top of my carrier's (ATT) charges for OUTCONUS use is excessive. Does anyone regularly use their USA cell in Canada and be willing to share...

Greg is correct. Additionally, the Congress and the President are the only persons authorized to 'order' the National Ensign lowered to half-staff. Some locations and special days, like Memorial Day or death of certain Government officials, are permanently authorized half-staff recognition...

Perhaps folks noticed no indication on the Foster Trucking vehicles that your company was involved in expediting.

New expedite carriers are continually entering the field. Seemingly, every day we see a van or straight truck with a logo not seen before. ExpeditersOnline has operated a site that has been beneficial for EO visitors, forum members or lurkers who are looking for a regional carrier or a...

Last week I was washing my drivway with a 2400# pressure washer with a rotating nozzle. As I was reaching my van, I noticed a guano deposit on the fender next to my vinyl truck number. I gave the excrement a healthy squirt and the 'B' flew off the fender. At first I was annoyed the inspired...

RE: Need Info on The Direct Deposit WW: If your source of income is requiring you to set up a direct deposit account into which they will send your money, I suggest you open an account at your hometown bank, This should serve you well in the long run because you can go to the bank and speak...

Sounds to me that in addition to setting money aside for food, you'd best set aside some money for your bail bondsman, a lawyer and serious fines. 200-1000 mile runs, particularly interstate, require you to maintain a logbook. Being found overweight for the trucks GVWR or per axle will create...

At a dollar a mile gross to the truck, 100 mile run, you would get $70 and your fuel would cost about $20 for a net to you of $50. At 65% you would get $65, your fuel would cost $20, but if you got 10 cents per mile FSC, you would have $65 + $10 = $75 for a net to you of $55. FSC is kinda like...

Craz is right. One run in two days occurs more often in expediting than two runs in one day. One of the most difficult things that drop and hook T/T drivers find with cargo van expediting is the waiting for a run offer. You might compare us to the small town ambulance driver waiting for a...

stdon153 had a great bit of luck this week to offset a lot of the bad news tales of late. How 'bout anyone else telling us about their interesting loads/trips of late. Don't matter about a lot of money, just relate the lots of interesting run.

Lawyer's Creed Innocent until proven broke.

I don't think that the stars and planets are properly aligned for van owners to break into expedite at this time, not if you aspire to a "middle class boomer income". I've been in contact with a couple of teams in vans and they are down in revenue this year at a rate about comparable to the van...

TYPO ALERT He means 3-5 times a week, NOT each day.
