I'm sorry if you feel that I don't want your help. That is not how I feel I assure you. Yesterday was a day full of phone calls to insurance company's, police departments, going back through all of this driver information looking for anything that might give away his whereabouts and trying to...

There are a lot of things that should have been done, unfortunately we can't go back in time, what we can do however is help keep everyone informed so that this guy does not do this to another person.

I've already got an attorney working that matter. No qualcom or GPS on the van. (a hard lesson learned there).

Carrier told me they were unable to turn it back on. Plus there is no guarantee he still his phone or the app. The police haven't been able to do too much. The report isn't complete yet. They told me it would take 5 business days.

You may have already seen my post about our stolen van... I've since been made aware that the driver has been looking for other owner to drive for since last Monday (May 11)... The same day he was fired by our carrier. Our van has been considered missing/stolen since Thursday, May 14. I don't...

I will play it safe and not post his name here. If anyone has spoken with a driver looking for work in the Atlanta area or Columbus, OH area, please PM me. He has tried getting a job with an owner out of Atlanta as of Monday, May 11th. He told them a story about how how his previous employer...

Should I put his name on the forum? I just got word that he is applying for other companies and other owners and lying to them about details. I don't want anyone else getting screwed over by this guy. At the very least, he is the last known driver of a stolen vehicle.

Single carrier... However, the reason why the van needed to be brought to me is because the driver got our contract terminated due to very poor performance. We were running for a carrier out of Michigan

We learned a lot here the hard way... I'll have to check with the finance company to see if there's any kind of GPS. I basically let him know on Monday that some things have changed and we wanted the bring the van back up to Chicago. We were on good terms. I told him that he could leave the van...

Hello EO friends, I've got a bit of a bit of a conundrum... Long story short, my van has been stolen by my driver... Last definite known location was Atlanta, GA but was reported possibly in Knoxville, TN. Driver lives in Columbus, OH area. I've notified PD's in Columbus, Atlanta, Knoxville and...

Nations was a hard company to work for, you sit forever waiting for a load and when you call dispatch to check in and see how things are going they are flat out rude. I have a buddy that has been sitting for 3 weeks waiting for a load. I would avoid them, they are completely saturated. No...

You guys bring up great points. I'm definitely in no hurry to buy another truck, just trying to get some ideas moving forward. This is a kill or be killed industry and without the experience, connections and funding, it's really easy to not only go broke, but even go bankrupt. Thanks again for...

Thanks for the insight!

ahh okay okay... That makes sense and after saying that, I remember hearing that requirement. So basically, as long as you can access it from the cab, you can build a legal sleeper in the box?

Here I thought I was some sort of genius lol Well it was worth asking about. Thanks for the replies! What about spec'ing a late model cab and chassis class 7 or 8 straight frame and putting a van body on it with a curbside door on the forward side and building a 48-60" sleeper out of that...

After looking at tons of expediting trucks, it seems like we have limited options... We have to choose between used, often high miles and underpowered straight trucks or brand new $150k snazzy trucks... So, that got me thinking. Does anyone use single axle tractor with sleeper with a 28' pup...

Thank you for the advice. Everything you said makes a lot of sense. We will continue asking questions and doing our research before making any moves.

Hello, My fiance and I been a member of the forum for about 4 months, but haven't posted in a while. Since our last posts, we have signed on with a new carrier and staying extremely busy. We couldn't be happier. Our Promaster is holding up very well too. We've put about 15,000 miles on it in...

Still in Chicago area, north west suburbs not far from the border of Wisconsin.

Thank you all for your help it is much appreciated.
