I have always admired you multi-instrument guys. I got all I can handle with just my guitar. Welcome to EO.

Try school districts. They will train you and hire you so you will get experience.

You are comparing moments of stupidity with a 24/7 confinement of a baby in a truck. I would call the police in a heart beat if I seen this being done. People will call the police when a dog is left in a car on a hot summer day. There is only one side of the story in this scenario, it is the...

one word: INSANE

Gee, another Gregg vs Ateam post. Just another petty moment on EO.:cool:

The TSA will let you know when you can take your Hazmat Test, AFTER finger printing and a background check. Here is a check list to get the endorsement: 1 Check your citizenship eligibility. Hazmat license certifications are only given to natural and naturalized American citizens. In order...

You can have a DOD clearance and not be WG. Fedex is pressuring WG drivers to get or maintain their DOD clearance. We just renewed ours in Jan after letting it lapse last year. Fedex kept sending us messages that we needed to renew. We told them we were not interested in DOD loads because of...

Linda and I did our DOD paper work during orientation. It took 45 days to get an interim clearance (mid April to June ) we had full clearance by mid July. That was four years ago when it was pretty backed up, I hear, as davekc, it can take as little as 30 days. The rates took a tumble about 18...

My wife and I both get a wage of several thousand dollars a week. Of course we run at a huge loss. BUT, I feel good about my "wage".:D In reality, no wage, just earnings from running. Need more money, accept more loads, stay out longer.Need more money still, fix your own meals, dont go over 60...

I would recommend you looking for a 60/40 split. The basic difference between a 40/60 and a 60/40 is who pays for the fuel. In three years of being on a 60/40 split we have consistantly netted 3-4% / run more than if on a 40/60. If you gross $150,000 on the year,thats another $4500 to $6000 in...

If you are so concerned about an extra 200/week ( I know that could be a lot depending on circumstance ) but in this industry thats a mini, an extra run something you take because it fits a time slot and allows you get back on the board for another run. No guarantees out here, if you need that...

"What gives here??":confused: My thought exactly. But, you know the drill. I am a first time buyer. In an industry with a high mortality rate. I can buy another house, boat, car, Picasso, or anyother number of "other" businesses up for sale with no problem. I have qualified with a number...

x06col, I am stunned:p Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I would be very pleased to have you visit one of my sessions:D Now, if I can only get the banks to pony up with a good rate, we would be owner/ 1 driver/ 2 driver. All in due time.

I like the circus. 3 years in a row over 6 figures.:D send in the clowns.

Linda and I hope to attend this year. We almost got to last years, but, I had to take a walk with my Daughter down the aisle and give her away. Yeah, Daddys lil girl went and got herself married. I have attended many a convention put on by the other industries I have been involved with and I...

Welcome to the world of ex expediting. We have only been driving for two years,(FedexCC), under a 60/40 split where we pay tolls and fuel. Driving for someone, I wouldnt want it any other way, unless it was 65/35 or 75/25. (dreamingly he says) With smart running and good fuel managment...
