Need to know best years for Sprinter: Dodge Freightliner or Mercedes. Also what is the cutoff date for Sprinter Vans signing up with a company? When we with Conway Now it was 5 years old but I understand some companies are now looking at equipment for appearance rather than an just a cutoff...

I have some close friends who have TVAL trucks with FECC and they have trouble finding drivers because their empty trucks are not California eligible. These friends are drivers themselves and they are very considerate of their drivers. What puzzles me is why all these drivers want to go to...

Was wondering if anyone carries one of those gas charged pellet guns with clips? Are they legal everywhere? It seems to me it could be used as a weapon of last resort if someone is determined to enter your vehicle.:confused::):cool:

What are all your opinions about T-Mobile? I am in Fountain Inn SC and when I am at Naval Base Mayport Florida and Verizon lets me down frequently in both places. My wife has a TracFone and I believe it's on the AT&T network and it works better than Verizon but still nothing to shout about. I...

When we started with Roberts Express in the late 90's we did not have GPS. Directions were horrible and up to guessing. Usually they were given by who ever was available and it was their way of finding their way to work. Easy part was to see if they were coming from the north then you would have...

Started in the 90's with Roberts and most of the dispatchers reminded me of that old movie "mother jugs and speed" with Raquel Welch, Bill Cosby and Larry Hagman. The moral of the movie that they were competing ambulance companies and whoever got to the patient got the fee. They'd set with their...

Beware of charges on your credit card or debit card that are not there that are supposed to be because recurring charges; i.e. withdrawal's for insurance coverage. History, we were leased to Bolt last year and my Son was driving for us and when he went for a pickup in N. Michigan, while...

Which companies bid loads for 45 mph average and which ones use 50 mph for average? :confused: Big Al

Several days ago our driver (my Son) was prepping our van to take on a load. While positioned on the ramp the load came out on a hi-lo (which he didn't hear) and the hi-lo driver hopped off the hi-lo to open the door without setting the parking brake and the hi-lo went forward and pinned him...

I have suffered with this for quite some time and have tried Requip & Mirapex as prescribed by Mayo Clinic. They work for awhile then they seem to me to aggravate the condition. I also suffer from sleep apnea but back to restless leg, I was at a loss on what to do because in the early evening I...

I have been using the PC Miler with the Companies I've leased to since the late 90's and have never had any issues with this software. However since we have been with this new company (new to us) all my trips have exceeded the mileage quoted. It's almost always greater than 5%, sometimes upwards...

I am an owner/operator and my company charges about $130. per month for me for workers comp. My question is why this added expense since I am fully covered by Medicare and TriCare for Life. Do the rest of the companies require this? Sincerely, Big Al

Don't want to be a "Chicken Little" ; however, this seems to be a real threat. We are not currently on the road but would like to encourage everyone to use sane sanitary practices," can't hurt but may help"! Big Al Branson,MO Retired Navy

We use a system that has worked for us: First we start about 1630 because you have to make a bid prior to 1800 for same day reservations. We go to Hotwire.Com and find out what the going rate is for a 2*, then we go to Priceline.Com and bid $5-15 under the Hotwire rate. Priceline will let you...

Need info about CB's for vans. I have power mirrors so I can't attach them there, what about the roof? I have a small rubber coated one with a magnetic base but it cuts out for ranges greater than a mile. I want one that is not huge. Also what is a good radio with the weather bands? Thankx

I would like to know which is the best company for insurance. The company I have now doesn't even respond to correspondence in a timely manner, I wonder what the response would be if I had a claim. Thankx

It appears from my research that most expeditors drive Freightliners. It also appears from my research that Kenworth is a better truck. Is FL the choice because of cost?
