So very sad. Sorry for the loss. Prayers going out. .....Seems like this happened to one of Barretts drivers a few years ago. It sure doesn't take much for things to go horribly wrong.

Re: Are There Any Expediters Where Drivers Are Not Considered As "Independent Contrac There are a couple of carriers in the Grand Rapids area that use their own trucks and drivers. Holland Special Delivery and Inontime. There is also one in Holland Michigan called Teddy's transport. All of...

You can't make any money hanging around at home........ I should talk, as I sit here wrapped up in a quilt, with a hot cup of coffee. Retired and finally learning to like it.

I was with them a long time ago. My experience there would not be relevant as far as income etc., but the people are the same. Good folks. They will treat you right. As far as how busy they are, haven't a clue.

Glen is on my prayer list. I only met him the one time but I consider him a friend.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!! I hope you had a real good one........ You think it may be time for stewed prunes and depends yet?

Happy belated birthday. I stop by here less frequently lately. Sorry I missed it. I guess I'll go back to my own little planet now. ... TJ

You could do a lot worse than PTL but you do have to watch that old chubby guy in safety.

I have been semi retired for about 3 1/2 years now and the pull of the road is not as strong as it was. Still, there is one thing I miss very much. Is it the adventure? Is it the travel?....No it's my bed. I now posses one of those sleep number things and I have tried several other beds as well...

It may now be official, you could be the next honored member of the old chubby guy club.

2- one FL70 and one Sprinter, currently none.

Happy Birthday Terry, and many more.

That C word is a scary word. You are in our thoughts and prayers at my house; That your recovery is swift and complete

Thanks for your opinion but I don't agree. I was trying to do things as my prospective carrier wished me to do. I have never asked others to do my work for me and I never will. Maybe you have seen that pile of paper they require and maybe you have even filled it out but I wasn't going to, if...

Back when I had a "D" truck I attended a recruiting seminar for Landstar. I decided to go with their program and the recruiter gave me their imposing paperwork bundle. He told me not to try to fill it out mysel because if anything wasn't right it would lengthen the already tedious processing...

Actually, I did tell em they were with the wrong carrier but it's really not all that simple. Being in a standard van doesn't provide the owner operator with enough options any more. So many companies prefer sprinters or larger vehicles now. The right advise may be "you're with the wrong carrier...

I have been retired (sort of) for about two years now but I have kept in touch with a few folks who are still active in the business. I also stop and talk to some of the guys I recognise while I'm out there delivering on my part time job. I guess I'm like the old retired fire dog, following...

I was on vacation and camping in my travel trailer at Straits State Park at St. Ignace MI. I was taking down the campsite and hooking up but my daughter was watching tv. She called me inside to watch and I got there just in time to see the second plane hit the towers. It is difficult to...

Thanks everyone. Were veterans but this one caught us a little by surprise. Just got to get her through it one more time. She is a tuffy and her attitude is great. We have a date for the surgery now ... Sept. 6, the day after labor day. OVM - for you that would be labour day. We will be...

I have been on a two year layover and haven't been very active on here, but I have been lurking several times a week. Some of you know me and know that my wife is a cancer survivor. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1986 and had a recurrence in 1995. Both times she endured severe...
