As I recall he said he was spending time this summer with his mother in Oregon.

You can learn by doing. Most companies will give you a 1 to 3 day training class.  You could also just be a driver for someone else. In the long run you will make more money being a driver instead of being an owner. Expediting is a fun job and you get to see alot of the country.

Driveon Go to http://www.expeditersonline.com contact any or all of the freight brokers and ask it they will sign on your cargo van. The van will have to be in good shape, look nice and not be more than 10 yrs old for most freight brokers, this rule changes by brokers. A few I can speak for...

What do you want to know? I owned a expiditer business for a few years. I ran vans and straight trucks. The money is good most of the year. Almost no work the first three months of the year. It is not a good business for true nomads. It is hard to live in the van and leave room for freight. Most...

ArtW What does HDR, or say fuggit, lawl mean? If that is internet slang we don't usually see those terms on this forum.

I have a Class A CDL also but I have  only been asked to show it for a shower one time. That was on the east coast. Flying J used to have an rv shower plan using the fuelpoint card.

I have a truckfridge and I love it. It runs from solar during the day and the house battery at night. At one time I owned 3 over the road trucks and used truckfridges in them when the OEMs gave out. They are good. VanGirl

Hi, Thanks for your service to our country. I'm based out of the Tucson, AZ area (30 miles away). I'm also a veteran. I use the VA hospital in Tucson and have been happy with the care there. They will mail your prescriptions. The weather is nice most of the year. I spend a lot of time in New...

I found the dimension : W x H x D 22.83 x 25.59 x 14.17 inches The first time you run it is very different than a normal modern washer. It is more like using the old tub-type wringer washer that my grandmother used. Water level and soap has to be adjusted for each load. I use my rinse water...

I can get the dimensions in a few days. I'm in So. California visiting friends this week.

Yes 240 and 180 is correct. I run it on a 1k inverter. I can dump water ok the ground,

I have owned this machine for about a year. I really love it. It does exactly what the company says it will. I use it in my travel trailer with ECOS detergent. I don't use it every time I do laundry but when I want to hang clothes to dry. I'm in Arizona so the wind and dry air make it a snap...

I have used truck stop showers (when needed) for many years now, Flying J, Love's, Pilot... all the national brands. I have never felt unsafe during daylight hours. I always use shower shoes and my own towels. Another trick that a truck driver friend told me about is rubbing alcohol. After...

I think it is a wonderful idea. Bob shares his trips to Algodones, Mexico along with the drugs and locations for health care. There are other places such as Palomas, Mexico which is south of Deming, New Mexico and four more that I know of on the Texas border between El Paso and Laredo. I'm...
