The use of temps may explain alot of things about not only the phones but the Qual Comm system as well. I thought I was the only one getting frustrated !!

Now they are calling themselves UPS Express Critical, (formerly UPS Expedite, formerly Menlo Expedite, formerly Emery Expedite). That is a name change about once a year since I signed on with them! The only thing that has changed now from the Emery days is more airport drops. Surface expedite...

Sometimes I wonder just like many others. I first signed on when the company called themselves Emery Expedite, and business levels were good. Then came name change number one to Menlo Expedite, and busines levels went from good to bad. Name change number two to UPS Expedite and business...

It finally takes place today. GO BUCKS !!!!

RE: Cleveland, Ohio Is it really this slow?? It seems as if my cargo van is doing more sitting in the driveway than in the past. I do not understand why this area seems to be so slow. The only cargo van driver I know in the Clevland area that is keeping "on the go" is signed on with a...

I have been a contractor for UPS Expedite operating a van in the Northern Ohio area for several years. Signed on with them when they were called Emery Expedite. As I have posted here before, UPS is probably no better or no worse than any other expedite company. All expedite companies seem to...

For airport runs, there is no dead head pay. For surface runs, deadhead pay is 10 cents per mile after the first 50 miles.

I have been making runs for UPS for several years; signed on when they were known as Emery Expedite. They are probably no better or worse than any other expediting company. Lately they have been asking contractors to accept low rated loads to appease NLM. The central dispatch people seem to...

Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with either Jung Express or On Time Express? Presently running a cargo van with a company that does primarily airport work. Would like more surface runs that would not always end up with an empty deadhead back to Ohio (where I am domiciled). Thank you...
