We've been watching your dilema with interest and were looking forward to an outcome in your favor. We're truly sorry you've been dealt a bitter hand and wish your truck a speedy recovery.

Withholding of federal income tax on a 1099 is not an illegal act. I have federal and state withheld on a 1099 as a matter of convenience. I suspect your carrier's policy to do so is for their convenience if they deduct weekly and submit to the govt. on a quarterly basis. They get to enjoy...

We met a Father/son team in a D truck in Jackson, TN one weekend. They were spending their idle time polishing wheels and tanks for the usual price. They seemed to enjoy the work and the extra bucks. A retired military man expediting in a van parked at the Detroiter one weekend spent his...

First and foremost, most all of us are in this business for the revenue opportunities. While so doing we each attempt to be as comfortable as possible while carrying the maximum load for our vehicle type. Traditionaly, a van (B) load is two cubes 48' x 48" x 48". Any dimensions over that has...

Cheese: I know not of the program that Christine (TryHoursRcrtr) mentioned; it might be the right fit for you and your goals. But, if my two cents is worth two cents, I, for one, wholeheartedly endorse Racemans comments and add my encouragement to follow his advice. You'll be well served by...

One of the pleasures, and benefits mof a van under 10001 GVWR is no fuel tax or mileage records in addition to no log with non-hazmat, rarely scale.

RE: 2006 GM diesel vans--12,300-lb GVWR--logbook?! Slow hand: If you factored in the gas engine replacement at 400,000 I'd recommend you reconsider your savings. I currently have 457,000 mile on my smooth and tight gasser and expect to get at least another 150,000 as many of our colleauges...

+Most folks, even the shippers call it shrink wrap but actually it's stretch wrap. I've seen it at Kinkos in a small 8" roll that I carry around. The Detroiter Truck Stop sells it. It looks like a lint roller with a handle. I haven't looked but may be avail at Moving supply rental places...
