My wife and I are making the move to O/O. We bought a 2006 Freightliner Columbia in MI, Had our signs and QC installed and drove it home to FL. We are leased to FedEx CC. I know that I first need to get my title work done and then apply for an IRP Tag. My questions are: 1. Is there any way...

My wife and I are in the process of making the change from contract driver to owner operator. We started out driving the red trucks, switched to a small fleet owner and ran T-Val for @ 8 months. I have been self employed for 23 years and already know how to run a business as far as accounting...

Thanks for the replies. I will probably go with a frame mounted diesel generator and put a pick up in the fuel tank with an electric fuel pump. I am not a big fan of paying $9000 for an APU. I am planning on getting an espar D2 for my 70 inch sleeper, but I would like to be able to run some...

Has anyone used or is currently using a propane powered generator? Is it legal to carry a couple of 20 pound tanks through the tunnels and over the bridges? From the research I've been doing it seems that a propane generator will run about as efficently as a gas model and it would be a lot...

I won't stay anywhere in Gary, IN or at the T/A in West Virginia. Most of the major truck stops are realitively safe. Stay alert and pay attention to your surroundings when walking through the parking lot. Also, always check the Walmart locations. They are not all safe. Ask at the cash...

Does anyone know where I can buy a couple of E Track Load Bars? I'm in Lake City, FL and there are no truck stops around here. Do the T/A's or Flying J's stock them? Thanks for the help.

We drove for them for 6 months. Pay was always on time and correct and the people there were always friendly.

I received my new card in the mail yesterday. It is good starting on July 1. Has my name and account number printed on it. Very much like the Road King Card. Too bad T/A and Petro aren't linked together.

A few years ago, before the financial meltdown, most of the expeditors that we knew stayed out for about three weeks and then went home for about a week. This meant that on most weeks 75 percent of the fleet was available. Now due to the lack of frieght, most seem to stay out 6-8 weeks before...

Hello, This is my first post but we are not new to expediting. Been with FDCC for awhile but had to take a couple of months off due to a serious family illness. We found our new owner and ride through the classifieds on this site. So we are back on the road again.
