>I believe you have to log over 10,000 lbs. I also believe >that you go by federal law,not state law. That's my belief also. State law cannot preempt the feds. Myfigure of 12001# and above of registered weight is misleading; a small truck under 10,000 can register over 12,000 ie. 18,000 to...

thanks for the update...until now I had not heard anything positive about the pride of Massachusetts.

Scott: What tastes better? an apple or an orange. Facitious answer? No, just an example of the level of difficulty of your questions because of the variables involved. The cost/profit is comparable for everyone that buys the same or similar truck and operates in the same manner. Vans cost...

Why are you still working? You should be doing quite well with the handsome royalty check you must get every month!!

Missouri requires any commercial beyond local vehicle with a 'registered weight' of 12001# or greater must log and scale.

I saved the pic to my >hard drive. Unless santa's on viagra, should have saved the old codger on floppy!

but I'm starting >to look at Expediting was a way to go. Don: Most companies are happy to lease on a Canadian O/O because you'll always be eager to take a load from anywhere into Canada. On behalf of Expeditersonline, please accept my invitation to join us at the Expediter EXPO at the...

>As I said in the first post, it's just an idea...Those that are skeptical can opt out. Given that the A-Team responded to my post, I assume he believes I was skeptical of his idea. On the contrary, I believe his idea has merit. I just believe that there is not now, nor likely in the...

I've never been an owner in search of a driver. I've never been a driver in search of an owner. Those are my bona fides, but as I reread this thread, a few thoughts come to mind. In the begining, or at least in my 1989 begining, the greatest majority of nationwide expediters were family-member...

Ok; here's truth in advertising. From 1 Jan 04 until 4 Aug 04 (USCG birthday) my van, operating as a team only 5/8 of the year, has averaged $1.19 per loaded mile. We've driven 32413 loaded miles and 60423 total miles thereby averaging $.64 all miles. If Rene' and I were operating in an...

DD Just got home and enjoyed, with some envy, all the ideas you've got wrapped up in a small package. In anticipation of you being at the EXPO, I've taken my van out of the competition for any of the many prizes available. You'll probably win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Looks to me like you'd scale...

>Terry by "70% availability" does that mean being "in >service" an average of 7 out of 10 days. Are 70% >availability and 70% load acceptance considered good in the >industry? Sorry for delay; I've been on the road doing my 70%. Yes, as RichM sez, that is my carriers standard and...

could'nt agree more with A-Team's coverage comment. For the Armed Forces Veterans: you might consider checking with the VA to see what, if any , benefits may be available. Low paid vets may be eligible for excellent bennies having served for only a couple of years, several years ago.. This...

Get in touch with "GEO". He's our resident expert on EGL.

true but sad...

this should be published in the serviceman's newspaper 'Stars and Stripes'.

Sen. Kerry's Vietnam exploits have received top billing lately, particularly at the DNC convention in Boston. He has been quoted as saying as a Navy Swift Boat Commander engaged in Operation Markettime, his mission, was to attract enemy fire and suppress same. Operation Market time, as I...

Apollo - You're right. There are so many variables we all know about, and there probably are an equal amount that only you know about. nearly all of these are discussed in recent past posts. But, your question "is $1K per month for the owner reasonable"? Probably, if all the variables and the...

>During orientation at Con-Way I was told that a cargo van >with a team could make 110k to 130k per year. Let's assume you get 85 cents avg per loaded mile, and you only need to work 6 days a week so you can do maint on yourself and truck in order to earn an unbelievable, and likely...
