They take 3/4 ton vans-- thats what im running with try hours. Just adding my 2 cents

I currently am leased with Try Hours. I have been with them since January. I have a cargo van. People wise-- They are good. Friendly people, they joke around, family kind of environment. Work wise-- I feel that they are ok. Business has been slow the past few months for everyone. But...

Ok guys-- I need some help. Every where I turn I see posts and stuff that have to do about "expediting" i see people refering to their trucks as "Class A,B,C,D" or whatever. Can someone explain this dumb young kid the difference? And where would the cargo vans go on this list?

Hey guys! Got my avaitor working now thanks to Lawrence :7 . I was wondering -- what are you opinions on a school of expediting? They have trucking schools-- and schools for everything else. Plus with as much as you need to learn in expediting-- I was thinking a school may help. :o What...

Im trying to add the picture of me and my truck to my aviater like ive seen done here before. So I put it on my website and typed in its address for the aviater-- but it still isnt showing up. Suggestions?

That is true!! Take whatever loads they give you-- they may put you in a better area for work!! Ive been doing this since January and I already learned that. I reccently got a call from work (at the end of a dead week) for a load that was only 30 miles away! At first I was insulted by it but...

That is very true. Ive learned in the few months ive been doing this- there is three major ways of getting a load: 1.) Sit down to a meal 2.) Just climb into the sleeper 3.) Get off the exit to go home. All three have happend to me!! Doug

Ive been doing this since January. I did it backwards-- I jumped into expediting then found the website which gave me information. Since I've started I've seen many many drivers for other companies out there and often wondered "I wonder if Ive seen them on the forums". But I didnt feel like...

Yes I know this is an old topic. BUT however -- I have GOOD NEWS! Yes it is possible to have a sentance with both "good news" and "gas prices" in it :D. Now to the news: Earlier today on the radio I heard that the oil suppliers have stated the price of oil has reached its peak. The prices...

Maybe you guys know what Im talking about-- but im going to try and describe it. I dropped off in Madison Heights Mi and tried to use the same chain I used to tow cars with to pull the pallet back. But when this would not work the guy pointed to something on the ground. It was a chain thing-...

This has probably been talked about before. But Im looking into possibly getting a member of the dog family (not going to say what) to tag along in the truck with me. What all would you guys suggest I do if i was to take a dog with me?

I reccently pulled into a resturant and got a to go order from a diner. The waitress was a friendly southern girl, and while I was digging out my money she asked "You must be a driver". I said "Yeah Im an expediter-- how did you know?" She gave me a quick smile and said--"because you have a...

I would say it took me two weeks to get leased on to Try Hours. I contacted the recruiter had her fax me a application to my home. Then about a half hour later I faxed a copy back to her. After that I went to my agent/accountant/financial rep (i love this girl-- shes awesome) and she set me...

This is what I do. I have two seperate books. One trip book-- the other expense book. The trip book i put in the information of city origin-- city destination- how many miles. Then when my pay sheet comes in and i check over everything- I note how much total i made for that run-- then right...

Here is another idea. Most cell phones come with caller ID automatically. So if you miss a call- it will tell you the number missed. Unless they have a restricted no. But p2 being a business I assume would have a listed no. Diesel Owned By: Wolf Expediting Leased to: Try Hours 2002 Chevy...

I sent that message and spoke too soon. This Friday they called me up for a 30 mile payer. I was insulted-- but took it because I needed something. Then my dispatcher called me saying he had a run going from New Hampshire, Oh to Homer, Mi. Then on the way to Homer-- they called and said they...

I beginning to wonder. Threw all these posts-- I only see people from the big companies like Conway Now-- Panther 2- and FedEx. But is there anyone who also has equipment leased to a company called "Try Hours"? Or am I their only driver? Out on the road-- I have seen only one other Try Hours...
