    Getting Started

    Ditto what Leo said but, let us not forget that the responsibility to run legal primarily rests with the DRIVER.

    Canada What is a Canadian?

    I've often wondered why the Canadian folks refer to their south of the border friends as "Americans" and leave themselves out of that category. It seems to me that anyone living in the Americas is an American

    Terry & Rene in Milton Ontario

    Sorry to have missed you. Too many of us in Canada so I DH'd to Buffalo and got loaded to Delaware thence to CT. DH from there to Cape Cod to visit my two sons. Lobster and Budweiser; nothing like it.

    EZPass

    anyone in the market for EZ-Pass should also consider I-Pass. It works in the same manner as EZ-Pass and helps to breeze thru the Illinois toll plazas. 1-800-UC-IPASS

    Conflict of Interest?

    To me, the phrase "conflict of interest" implies some form of illegal, or certainly immoral, activity. I think it would only apply if there was an injured party. For this to apply to our form of trucking, there should have to be an implied or expressed agreement that all independent...

    Getting Started

    The HOS do not apply to non-hazmat toting vehicles with a GVWR of less than 10,001 pounds. Most of us, and our carriers, comply with the spirit of the Hours of Service regulations and limit cargo van driving to about 700 miles between rest periods. When necessary, rest periods are built into...

    company info

    I know first hand that there are good and bad things to say about ConWay Now, PantherII and Express-1, as well as all the other major and minor expedite carriers. I think you would be best served by continuing to read thru the archives and sort out the previous comments pertaining to the...

    Standard Mileage Deduction

    Margie: Most all of us use the standard mile allowance in lieu of the actual expense deductions. The resident expert tax adviser Frank Katz also suggests this method for cargo vans. I have a Qualcomm terminal mounted in my van so that the Carrier and I can stay in constant communication...

    I know that no one can give legal advice

    Broom: As an officer of a corp already, you know all the obvious benefits. The only negative I can think of is also a positive. If you, the officer of the corp., are involved in an incident for which you are considered negligent, your personal, as well as corporation assets may be exposed...

    Michigan to Enforce (see headlines)

    "and the value of a hot dog in one of the rest areas over $4.00 such a deal, such a city" Broom et al: Did you ask for the Road Warrior discount on that weiner? you'd've saved $.60. Same for food at any other tollroad service plaza

    E Track Locking bars

    You should be able to find them at any trailer repair/supply shop or at many of the major truck stops. I bought mine at Stoops freightliner across the street from the Indianapolis Flying J at exit 4. They also have the ratchet and cinch straps, and E-Track sockets into which you can drop a 2x4...

    Looking to get in the business.

    St Louis is a relatively active area for many of the major expedite carriers. During any weekday morning, you are likely to see two or three expedite vans and straight trucks in the front parking lot of the Flying J travel plaza at exit 6 on I 270, Pontoon Beach, Il. During late afternoon...

    Installing floor and e-track

    SUNSET: I suspect lot's of folks would be interested in checking out your handywork and perhaps contacting you for help. How 'bout having the owners of one or more of your vans converted to expediter vans to enter in the Expediter Pride contest at the Expedite Expo in Woodhaven, Mi on 10-11 August.
