RE: Top 5 things you can do to make money with FED You are all probably right. The loads just go out as they come in. Guess we made a good decision to switch carriers. Before leaving we received a message that this was busy season and please try to stay in service. As a team we did a 200 mile...

RE: Top 5 things to make money with any carrier Sounds like you are getting a good grip on things there bud.

to jd2000 You are 100% right. Few loads are dispatch over the weekend and you need to evaluate these loads before acceptance. If this load was an unconfirmed load I would have to say to myself well you could get there and maybe have a load and maybe not. Am I willing to take that risk? Now if it...

jd2000 You are probably right. Its really not that bad for a team to empty out on thursday evening. Get a load offer on Friday evening and it cancel. Get another load offer Saturday morning to pickup Monday morning . Deadhead 175 miles to pickup. Wait 2 hours for detention time to start and be...

Davekc,thanks for your reply.My husband wrote about the canceled confired load that we had.Your right why would we start our reffer on the 24th when were to pu on the 26th.Of course we started the reffer the morning of the 26th.Typing mistake on our part.We did get dry run pay of $150.00 for our...

Thank you Terry for your response. All these things are true and I might add also they should keep in mind the consequences of holding a truck up for a load tomorrow that the customer would have been more than happy to have shipped today. With my experience I hear alot about satisfying customer...

tenten I would like to discuss the differences between driving for the company my husband and I are leased to and driving for Landstar. We have a 22' straight truck with a reefer. We no longer have internet and are using this free with our laptop here in California. Would like to talk to a BOC...

tenten and your point is????? I am still trying to figure out what your are trying to inform us about. Seems to me you are griping on one end and happy as a lark on the other. Which is it ?? If you are just trying to impress someone with how far you drove this weekend I for one am sorry to...

We got the best service out of verizon wireless.For the 2years we were on the road together most of the time we had service.My husband switched to cingular because of possible better rates and more minutes.Well,he doesnt like them,he's almost always out of service,even on the main interstates.We...

I saw a truck on the front of the recent Expediter Now magazine my husband picked up at a truck stop. When did they start putting the steering wheel on the passenger side or was this picture taken of an over seas truck,ha?
