That's why the notion of testing the general public after each & every accident is silly, nice thought but it's not gonna fly. There should be a clear division between commercial & non-commercial drivers. To answer your question/scenario directly .... if your carrier doesn't test, which most...

Ha, no doubt. I imagine that's how you get guys on the road .. a work to own program .. zero down, get to work! Thanks for the offer but I'm partial to Sprinters.

Well then, it doesn't really matter does it? :rolleyes: ... unless you'd like to start a non-exclusive carrier. Courier guy from Philly needs a job .... You can call the company Rags to Riches Express ....

It does mean something while it's in effect. You need to formally cancel a contract. Send a letter or an email will probably suffice. It simply means you do not need a specific reason to cancel it. Make sense?

Because while it's in effect, it's a signed contract. Is that stating the obvious? Edit: Cancelling the contract can be done without a specific reason. Does that help?

Had to post it .....

Yeah, I just glossed over that. I've never signed a contract that had a term limit. It's the internet age .... anything goes now. See it on the internet and it's real. People are probably putting all sorts of stuff into contracts ..

Apparently selling stuff on ebay & owning multi-carrier vans go hand in hand.

And btw, .... you stated in your original post you wanted to get into expediting. That's expediting. You'd like to stay local .... keep the local courier gig.

Same obstacles still apply. You are not a carrier with a fleet of vehicles. Hit the phones, let us know how it goes ...

Even if the broker does get paid, what's to prevent him from not paying a guy? Nothing at all .... Ever deal with brokers down by the border? Here's the scenario ... you're up in Philly, they're in El Paso .. or maybe Del Rio ... or maybe Juarez .. you can't really tell because they don't speak...

The questions is .... why would brokers want to deal with you? You own one vehicle. Brokers deal with carriers that have fleets of vehicles. Are you a carrier? You mentioned you're an independent contractor. Independent contractors sign on with carriers. Carriers work with brokers. You don't...

..... and would he need any sort of certification or insurance to transport interstate goods? It's over 500 mi 1 way, if that matters ... DRBeck - out of curiosity, why are you going back & forth between between the 2 cities? Are you comfortable doing that drive straight through? Two...

Ya know, it would be a good idea if it was part of one's insurance compliance. Commercial policy = drug test.

We don't need med cards either .... just a heartbeat.

IMO the majority of expedited van operators on the road do not get drug tested. Not as a condition of employment or randomly. I've never been tested ...

The press conference last week was enough to tell everyone he's cracked. He's finished ...

Northam's downfall was that press conference. He's lost his marbles ..

Is there anybody fit to run the state of VA?? Holy cow ... lol

Aren't we simply replacing one type of broker for another? Instead of a phone call it's different tech .. but Convoy is the broker, correct? Unfortunately I don't think it'll translate to higher wages for drivers or owner/ops. The shipper may see a cost reduction.
