    Signature

    That’s weird it shows here but in other forum page is like the newbie paradise it doesn’t show. I remove that YouTube link but just had the crafty Trucker. Maybe I should just change the team hutch to The crafty truckers Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    I want a Job, but Need Help/Advice

    In the six years we’ve been doing expediting we’ve seen a handful of solo positions. In which half ended badly. My best advice would be to keep checking the classified section on EO. Maybe even posting you own add for fleet owners to find you. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

    Tips for driving a straight truck on snow and ice?

    Have not used it much. Can’t say for sure. We are looking into getting some auto socks for trucks. If they are in your budget may not be bad to have. Really easy to put on and work great from what I’ve heard. TheCraftyTrucker

    Tips for driving a straight truck on snow and ice?

    Each year we’ve been out we’ve really only had to shut it down about once maybe twice per winter season. Keep track of the weather during winter and try not to accept loads going into storms or if you do take that load negotiate ALOT more money to deal with it. I remember our first year we...

    Newbie to Expediting

    It really depends on your wants and needs. I’m sure there are people who would talk bad and good things about them. They’ve been in business awhile. They won’t be perfect. Just depends on what you can put up with. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums
