Baack Thanks this. -
thanks for the info....the fleet owner who called me seemed like a good guy so im hoping for the best. I just have to pass my hazmat test tomorrow and im good to go !
-
Are you running a class"A" or "B"?Panther requires at least 6 months to run a class"A",I only have 2 months so I had to run "B".I don't want to but it would be a job.I hope you have good luck with whoever you are teamed with,my experience was not a good one but hope the next time will be better.

im just gonna run a cargo van solo for a fleet owner. I have no expediting experience but I do have cargo van experience so he is taking me on that
-
I don't know too much about the cargo vans,I know that there is alot of them.Even in the truck we had we got some cargo van loads because there wasn't one around at the time the customer wanted one.Have you done OTR before in the cargo van?Be prepared to pay for showers,must truck stops require you to purchase at least 50 gallons of diesel fuel to get a free shower.
-
Nope never been OTR in a van but I do have some cargo van experience. I was told if I was to go to Flying J and sign up for the card and I could fill up the van and I could earn a 1/2 shower. Here is what flying J website says
With every minimum 50-gallon fuel purchase members receive:
- Free shower and fountain drink with a minimum fuel purchase of 50 gallons or more at Flying J locations (fuel purchases between 15-49 gallons receive ½ shower point and ½ drink point which will automatically be credited to your account)
Baack Thanks this. -
I drove cargo van for Panther from Nov until the end of Feb now teaming in a streight truck. We are you looking at as an owner? 20 gal fill up at the Flying J gives you a half shower
Baack Thanks this. -

lil may,if you are asking me-newlife,who or what kind of owner I'm looking for.Well as far as teammate male/female I don't care.The only thing I'm being picky about is that I will not team with a smoker.I'm willing to stay out up to 6 weeks if I'm paired with an owner that is based in another state other than my own which is MI.If your question was not directed at me I apoligize.
