Dear Greenhorn, It is not necessarily required to obtain a CDL to expedite. If you operate a vehicle that is under 26,000 GVW and do not intend to haul hazardous materials, it is not required. Some expediting companies do require a CDL regardless of the type of truck you drive, some also...

Dear Joe, Northeast Ohio? Give me a call. One way to ease yourself into the O/O life may be to drive someone elses truck who is an O/O or you could drive someone's company truck. Driving another O/O's truck would not provide insurance (health,hosp, etc.) and most of the O/O's that I have who...

My first suggestion to you would be to determine if you want a box truck or a flat bed (both straight trucks). Once you make that decision, go look for a used truck. With the industry suffering the way it is right now and with fuel prices and insurance as high as they are right now they only...

Are you still seeking information on cube vans? I can answer some questions from the employer point of view. We had a O/O contracted with us last year who owned one and we were very sorry to see him and that little truck leave us. Contact me if you can use my information. Stacey @ One Way...

If anybody knows Glenn Wallace, a truck driver who last I heard was doing what is called the "wine run" from Florida to California and lived in Florida, please tell him that Stacey from Ohio is trying to get in touch with him. Thank you.

Still Unemployed? I have several openings in our company if you have the interest. I am looking for CDL drivers with flatbed experience (straight trucks). We are an expediting company based in Bedford. If you are growing quite comfortable with being home daily, we might be the company for...
