It is not CISs fault. It is progressive that raised the rate. That happened to me also. I had CIS the first year I went to Load One. I used to pay it all at once for the whole year and got a good discount. Then renewal time came about and my rate increased. CIS tried to get me insurance through...

Greg, When I read the title I was thinking 'this can't be true.' Then I read the article. As always, excellent piece. Thanks. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

Thirsty.

For me the problem was with the full site. Holding 'Shift' wile hitting reload fixed it for me.

Why not just go the speed limit whether on the interstate or in small towns? You will be fine for sure? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

That is correct. Why would you want to anyways? Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I believe if you read between the lines you will find the reasons why. I don't want to put Guido down since I would have liked a truck like his. But I am running my business differently than he did. While it is nice to be the fastest truck on the road, that alone will not put money in your...

It will be when you get pulled over. Over 10k lbs gvwr or actual vehicle weight you are a commercial motor vehicle and they deal with you differently. They will write you a bunch of tickets and fines in the thousands of dollars both for you and your company. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I was young and stupid and I had a radar detector. It saved my butt a couple of times. Leos used to keep their radar on all the time so the radar detector worked great. But then they became smarter and kept it off until they saw you. When the radar detector barked at you, you were caught...

Btw, mine is 33k gvwr and I can legally haul 12k, but I am listed at 10k with Load One. Any load over 10k needs to be pushed all the way forward to avoid being overweight on the rear axle. That is impossible to do if the load has 10 unstackable pallets. 10k or under works for me, with the vast...

I have a friend who has a converted tractor, tandem axles. I believe 44k gvwr. He can haul 18k lbs. In the 4 months he owned it, he only hauled one load over 10k lbs. So, in my opinion, at Load One it is not worth it to haul around and wear 4 extra wheels with their associated expenses for 3...

Yesterday I stopped at the Freightliner dealer to buy a part for my trusty M2 and I always drive past the brand new trucks on my way out. This time they had a brand new Cascadia Expediter. Sweeeeet. I wanted to go in an ask what the price was, but I didn't want them to see my jaw dropping to the...

I almost got a load to Daytona Beach today. I need to thaw out a bit. Next time. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

What do you guys mean by long term contracts? I have been with 4 major carriers and a couple small ones and none had this. Yes, the contract usually states that it is for one year and that it will renew automatically. But further down it says that the contract can be cancelled at any time for...

I've never had to do that. Sorry.

I didn't care for the automatic photo capture. I like it better this way.

Wrong way to look at it in my opinion. Load 1 pays me 70% of what they charge their customers. They do all the work associated with a load, including, among many other things, paying sales teams to get customers and billing those customers. I do the easy job, which is to pick up and deliver that...

I have a 2004 Freightliner M2 106 with the MBE900 engine, 6.4 liter inline 6 cylinder, 280 hp, 6 speed manual transmission. I average a bit over 12 mpg. I do Canada so it is governed to 63mph. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
