Hey all, well I have a few things to say and I will keep it short. First, I value forums like this that people can express their feeling and opinions, we must all realize that is what they are, feelings and opinions. First, On Call Logistics has never had a driver not get paid. Have there been...

My belly was full! Good food and a great cause!

Cargo and Liability insurance.... It is ALWAYS the carriers responsibility to make sure every one of their trucks is properly insured. Allowing drivers to carry their own insurance increases risk to EVERYONE and needs to be eliminated in this industry. We used to operate that way. Unless you...

Will be my first year, stop by Both 272 and say hi!

Have been contemplating this for a long time. I mentioned a weekly "Prayer Call" to my drivers and have got a lot of interest. Going to be opening this up for all our expediting brothers and sisters. Will be "company neutral" focused on scripture and a time of prayer. Will also have a website up...

Re: 85 Days Till The Expedite Expo Is it to early to start talking about the drivers picnic? (I like food)

Well, yesterday one of our drivers stopped by our corporate headquarters, showered and was made breakfast. The President of the company then took the drivers van to a shipper to get it loaded for a 1300 mile weekend run while the driver napped at corporate headquarters.

I ran for them my last 6 months on the road. I agree with wistler, great company.

My wife said yes.....

Stay in Eagle Pass at least for the day on Monday. Go to clclodging.com and get their check inn card. Saves money and it is a true 24 hour stay with hotels in the network, which is huge for people in our industry. Drive safe

Just so everyone knows, the reason that I partnered with "Blizzard" to begin with, is that he is absolutely brilliant. We have worked together for over a year and On Call was one of the first carriers I signed on with. He always paid me faster than anyone else while I was on the road and put an...
