I have been expediting now for just over three months. I have a new Savana Gmc cargo van that had just over 500 miles on it when I started. At this moment I now have just over 26,000 miles on it and have grossed a whopping 7,000. Sad isn't it. I now have to go get a big truck again and play...

expert after 6 weeks as an expediter? Just curious Folks as I have lots of answers ;)

Now why would things slow down in the winter? Companies still need parts. Businesses(God I love to spell) still fall short of things that make them wait. I have delivered quite a few "must have now" small parts for hundreds of miles,sat and waited for it to be fixed and then run it back. Just in...

I am running 2 runs a day averaging about 200 to to say,280 and I usually get a bigger run on fridays. I am very busy. Just bought the van 6 weeks ago and already passing 14,500 miles on it. ;) Frank.

I'm with Radio Transfer. Small company. real nice people. Frank.

Me negative....NOT! LOL. Actually I run in Mich mostly I had a run into Illinois Friday which was a return haul to. I was in Buffalo couple weeks ago dropped the load and deadheaded back. I am in a cargo Van don't forget ;-) Frank.

I seem to be attracting deadhead miles lately. Nobody has put a curse on me lately have they? ;) Frank.

Well lets see. My alarm goes off at 6:50 Am I call in at 7:00 Am I get a beeper message usually around 9:30 Am or so. I jump in the trusty Cargo van. Fire up my Laptop load up the addresses where I need to go and head out. Ahhhhh the excitement mounts! I go down the road maybe 20 miles (This is...

Kind of hard to forget don't you think. ;-) Frank.

I saw a PantherII over by where I live at the Tekhi Truck Stop in Battle Creek, Mi. It was an older Ford Van with a raised top. It was all hillbillied out! And solid black with dark Panther stickers on it. What a sight. Frank.

Heck when I am empty I just throw down a heavy duty dropcloth and I then blow up my Aerobed air matress (very tough material) and I use my Inverter to plug the builtin pump and in 60 seconds I have a full size bed! Used it twice so far and man what a good nights sleep I had. I have my laptop...

Thanks Rich for that quick info. I do appreciate it sir. Frank.

Exactly what does b. c. d. e. units stand for?

Holy cow Steve! You need to write a book on those kind of adventures :D Compared to my little adventure into Canada Friday Night. Frank.

I was just in Canada last night. Canada SUCKS! just the atmosphere there gives me the creeps. And no I did nothing stupid. I have no criminal record. Just something about Canada that I just can't appreceiate. Man, nothing like letting it all out ;-) Frank.

Hey Steve. I try to fly when I can at least keep up the 90 day rule to carry passengers anyway. I have had a full week as an expediter and have had a blast! AHHHH never thought I would say that! I just came back from Tenn delivering 5 pieces of freight not amounting to nothing as far as size and...

Alright. Hmmm... well I'm not an injun' I don't farm. And although I have a current Private pilots license I don't crop dust. How ever I do drive a truck (Owner operator Truck is paid off and was just sold. Repairs getting rediculus! Thought I would take a left turn and try expediting for...

I hear you. I just think you get out of it what you put into it. I could go on and on about my past employers. But I kind of direct my energy in "how" do I get around this obstacle and make the best of it. I ran containers into Chicago and then back to Detroit 5 nights a week. Everytime I saw an...

But you are some real depressing people here. I have driven a truck for 14 years and the last two were with my own. I had nothing but trouble with it (94 Freightshaker Fld120) Pulled containers. You haven't been around till you pulled intermodal! I sold that truck, I was off more that I was...
