Well said, Louis. I see a lot of O/Os who have been moving on from one expediter company to another, hoping to find more money in the possibility of more trips. That's expensive as it costs time and money to transition from one company to the next. Fact is, the industry is the same no matter who...

Thanks for the info and website link, John. I also don't have a generator and am looking for options, but i have a cummins Isc 300.I looked at the TAS website thoroughly, including the schematic, and have some questions. Am calling TAS today. Will let you know what they tell me. Have you called...

You should give AA Truck Sleeper,Inc a call at 1 800 227-5337. Talk to the owner, Larry Miller. {Address is 2517 Minnis Dr., Ft Worth, Texas). He can custom build a great sleeper and stands behind his work. We've never seen a sleeper that we like better than ours, for quality or comfort. Bottom...

Just have to say that your message was one of the best that I've read lately. Couldn't agree more, and would like to encourage all expediters to hang in there by taking good care of their vehicles, whatever type they are. You can do so much to ensure your success and keep your overhead costs...

You've had a couple of well written responses to your question, I see.Depending on who you talk to, while on the road, some are doing great and some are just hanging on, regardless of which Company they are driving for. I hope our point of view will help you decide. We drive for Fedexcc and...

Great, Wild Bill....just when I needed a good laugh.

Good question, Jeff. We've only been in this business for almost three years and I'd like to know what it was like before we started. We came aboard during the last year of Roberts Express. We were averaging $1.15 a mile and were told we should only expect to get about 10% Discount Run Offers...

Try not to take the dispatch on discount freight as personal. Remember that discount frieght has been around for awhile and, realistically, has represented a portion of the expedited freight. We will help out once in a while to assist our company, but the volumn of discounted is what we object...

Recently, my wife and I were offered a very late night transfer from Columbus, Oh to Chrysler in Newark, NJ. for a discounted rate plus a little pay for use of our Pallet Jack. We asked for a dollar a mile and got no answer. Later, the dispatcher gave us the run with an exasperated clink...

Last Sunday we found ourselves in San Antonio, Tx. We spent the day downtown at the Alamo and the Riverwalk, both great spots! They are across the street from each other so you only have to park once. We found a 30 min. commercial spot on the street and parked all day for free (it was Sunday)...

Recently, I received a letter from "Sirius Satillite Radio", telling me that I have won a free Satillite Radio Receiver. This includes free installation and one year's subscription, from having registered at their booth during the Louisville Truck Show. This thrills me because I never win...

That's outstanding, Wild Bill...You had to win a prize with that costume.

Hello, Second Chance....My Wife and I have met four people who have had the same problem and we also had it in a 2000 Alumibunk we drove for someone. In every case, Alumibunk made good on repairs, though one couple had to wait a little while. If it helps to know, your problem isn't unusual. Good...

Dear Abby, My Dad is a serious alcoholic gambler and is seldom seen by our family. My Mom is in prison for armed robbery and assualt and my older Brother drives expedited freight and stays on the road away from his home most of the time, even in the Winter. My Sister is a prostitute and crack...

I have a Cummins 300 ISC engine and am having a Check Engine warning light that stays on most of the time, with a code 128 indication. The Engine Cooling fan is staying on as long as the check engine light is on. I've had the High pressure Fan Swith replaced twice but it doesn't help. Just...

We are a team O/O and have been with Fedex C/C for two years. We've been logging on to EO and have really been enjoying the shared info on all topics. I especially appreciate the info given on maintenance related topics and the true stuff about the different expediter companies. We feel it's...

This is weird, but we only sat still on the Fourth, in Dallas. The rest the week was the busiest we've had in a long, long while. Grossed over $4,000. We checked into a motel in Dallas for the day, rested and soaked in the pool. It was GREAT. Then got our first run to California. Now sitting in...
