I bought a truck from a farmer, so it already had 'not for hire' on it. I put a sign on each door that said 'in transit' and put my mc number on...
No maximum age limit for any LTL company that I'm aware of. As long as you are physically able to do the job, you should be good to go. We have...
I run linehaul for Saia. Great company, and I'm happy there. Transferring within the company is easy, the only requirement is you have to put in...

You don't need to worry about anything. I've never had a problem, never seen anybody else have one either. Truck stops are pretty safe. I have a...
I don't work for TMC, but I've heard many drivers complain about being out for two or three weeks at a time on a consistent basis.
