National Truck Protection is a good warranty in my opinion.

No. They no longer require haz-mat. But if you choose to try your hand at the UPS contract we get in November of every year, you will need your double endorsement.

TWIC card is still required I believe.

 

Never hauled doubles - how hard can it be? got my twic - but cancelled my haz-mat.

 

I have no endorsements.....

I can't answer the question about pulling doubles.... I was going to get my doubles last winter to do the FedEx contract. But our Cincy agent never called me back to confirm that I had the contract..... So I never went to get it.

 

if the money is right, anything can be learned, almost, just don't ask me to speak chinese/japanese. he he or anything else other then what I know. lol

 

Did you ever figure out what your "Rough" cost per mile would be?


Sorry about the ###### phone service this evening... I was going over Cabbage & Baker.... I finally just gave up & shut the #### phone off.

I'm going to bed now... Tomorrow might be a scetchy day with my phone signal.... I'll be in Wyoming sometime!

 

I did. What is urs?. I'm wondering If i did it correctly on the 10k miles?

 

that haz mat comes in handy at mercer....we haul it several times a year...beats doing nothing...it can make the difference in setting at say Ontario with 200 other Mercers planning the weekend BBQ or being the only one to pull out of there with a load.........

 

Man I have seen this truck before ...let's see where was it???? hmmm oh yea now I remember it tried to run over me in the parking lot at Vero Beach! lol

 

is it really that helpful? I've already forgotten how to placard the trailer and where not to go with it - besides tunnels.

 

I regularly haul hazmat for the Philly agent. Many roofing material loads will have a pallet or two of adhesive that needs placards.

from what I saw on UPS loads last year I wasn't impressed. The ones I saw were all for a week long commitment, I know you can be set up on them for the season and maybe those pay better. I didn't bother with them, a week of dealing with UPS for cheap rates was not very appealling.


Hey Redd, where you headed to coming through Wyoming? I'm in Nebraska now, heading to Ft Collins and Denver for Monday, then Salt Lake after that. Maybe we'll cross paths?
