RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac You can be mad and accuse me all you want. I was looking to join them direct and wanted information to see if what was said about them and what they said was true. I couldn't get straight answers from anyone and didn't trust what they said...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac I did work for them. So I know what I have stated is true. And maybe since you work for them and are getting things taken care of correctly then there is a difference of treatment of drivers. I know that they treated me unfairly and wanted to...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac Well, sorry for the truth and people unable to accept that everything isn't happy go lucky. Lives ruined - financial screwing, empty promises, information inacurately entered in the system, paid (on average) 30 miles less than what actually...

I have been keeping track of mine and I am at about 40% since December of 2006. Be thankful if yours is that low. Mine will lower and when I have to go too far I will get reimbursed for it. As others will tell you, you have to see what you will make per mile, whether you are paid per load or per...

I am wondering if anyone can tell me where the hot spots are in Michigan, if there are any? The midwest hot spots would be great to know too. I can get runs out of Grand Rapids and surrounding area pretty well, but very tough to get back into Grand Rapids or near areas. I have a 26' straight box...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac I got advice from many people and thanks for all the info I got here. I decided not to go with them, because they wanted to charge me $1100 to join when the company I was with them an agent had already paid for it. They charge $35 a week for...

Alltel has a great plan for Nationwide coverage and pretty good free phones or low priced ones. You get some areas that are analog, but they have a good selection of towers even if they go off another providers tower for digital roam service. I very rarely have no coverage and I don't recall the...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac Thank you for honest info. That is what I was looking for. Have you been able to get honest info from them? Have they given what they offered as far as pay, dead head pay and negotiation, detention time, etc etc. I am willing to take runs and...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac Well, I can see you had a bad experience with expedite and doing well with OTR. I do not want to drive a tractor - trailer. Plus I do have a family and I know that with OTR, unless you are out there a long long time you won't make it either. I...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac If I get info that makes me be able to trust them that coincides with what they say, then I can make a wise decision. Trust just can't be given without knowing info to allow trust to be there. Blind trust is a deadly thing in any situation or...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac What if I can't tell whether Express 1 is giving the truth or just pumping pipe dream info to get me to join and then be stuck in the mess. If I get info from others out there then I take it all in to make the best decision possible. Now I have...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac Getting out there and going in blindly isn't a smart way to do anything. Why can't drivers just give up the info and let the person taking in the info make a decision from there? What is the problem with just giving honest info and letting...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac I know there are variables. I can somewhat adjust for that. If I could get a sample of what is out there, then I can have a better idea. I am not asking for an exact answer to tell me what I can assume to get. I am asking what others have...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac Did you get to barter for the dead head miles? Over or under 100 miles? What kind of miles did you get? I know each driver is different, but I am trying to see what the average average is with several drivers. I have heard 1200 to 1500 and then...

RE: Looking to join Express 1 - what is their trac Who are you with? I am needing to make good miles, but I don't want to join only to find out after the fact the info was given was full of hot air. What company has the east coast business for straight truck expedite solo. Life has been put to...
