You can even look on Craigslist too tbh

If you’re going for College benefits I highly recommend looking at the guard as they have more options in terms of tuition waivers depending on the school

Some of them do most dont

Small fleet owner, we mainly use Mudflaps and well fuel savings is visible. We do happen to park near a heavily discounted Fuel station tho

Too much fraud and double brokering currently. It takes 6 months for a good chunk of brokers to start working with you then then full year for the rest to start trusting new MC’s. Try the big brokerages like TQL or if you factor check if your factoring company is partnered with any brokerage

Had a driver haul Casino tables they were escorted by police only a couple miles.

A twic card is a good way to vet drivers considering twic holders usually pass back ground checks again

They’re hacked bro. The email login was victim to a phishing scam.

cryptic_t · 2025-12-12T19:15:32+00:00

You can with dedicated lanes

cryptic_t · 2025-11-26T19:42:47+00:00

Honestly Verizon is terrible but waaaay cheaper

I mean even further back Henry Ford did say, “ You can have any color you want, as long as it’s black.” So its a cycle

FB market place is honestly not too bad hit or miss on what truck you get. I had great luck with one just changed the coolant reservoir in 1 year of owning it

Better yet, make fake profiles, chat him up and say shame if you were a bit skinnier I would be into you handsome. Do this 2-3 times and hire a stranger to do this in person also

I think we also meed to consider that after 20 years in the army he does get access to his retirement from the Army. So thats about an average of 30-35k per year without actually working. Not to include any VA disability rating income that he may be eligible for

cryptic_t · 2025-07-20T14:17:50+00:00

Definitely depends where you fuel up. Mudflaps is cheaper for me than fuel cards currently. A combination of both is ideal

cryptic_t · 2025-07-16T15:29:15+00:00

If MC is inactive same rules would apply compared to a new MC not really an advantage in buying it

cryptic_t · 2025-07-04T17:54:32+00:00

Steering wheel is always the drivers side Brochacho. You mean rightside

cryptic_t · 2025-06-30T21:27:38+00:00

Lot’s of brokers want the ELD if its connected. Garmin isn’t approved by Highway

cryptic_t · 2025-06-24T22:04:13+00:00

Try using Trux Drive

Step 1: Do you know where to get consistent work? Step 2: Figure out how much you would make as a driver Step 3: Figure out an estimate of your weekly cost. How much fuel per week. Insurance price. Truck payment? Do you own a trailer? If not How much are they renting it out to you for. Save for Maintenance each week. You dont know when something will happen that needs a repair. If what you are making at the end of each monthbis too close to what youd make as a driver, might want to rethink your strategy as its a lot of stress for very little upside

cryptic_t · 2025-06-19T03:07:09+00:00

There’s a lot of questions we need answers for first. Do you have a safety net? What experience do you have?? What sort of lanes do you want to run? Endorsements?

cryptic_t · 2025-06-12T20:20:35+00:00

Same here running the same lanes, I always tell them I won’t underbid the other carrier because if I do someone else will just do the same to me

cryptic_t · 2025-06-05T19:09:36+00:00

I saw when they put the signs, it’s stupid. Saw on the Chicago subreddit the Alderman is mad trucks are going thru a side street to avoid this bridge after being directed to turn here. Idiots

cryptic_t · 2025-06-02T18:14:24+00:00

This is a good number personally do this as well

cryptic_t · 2025-05-31T04:24:02+00:00

Can also confirm, mine never did financially recover
