Broom, Very good questions. First and foremost it's real important to set realistic goals. Teams will do better than solos, less expensive equipment won't put you in the poor house in case there's a downturn in the economy. More importantly, if you are a team, keep in mind an illness...

Phil, Why don't you just put a link to each of your previous arguments. Seems like it's always the same thing over, and over and over again. Nothing personal, and I will only speak for myself, I find your bloviating a bit over the top and tired. While you were gone I looked forward to...

Kangar0085, Picked up load in NY, delivered to Newfoundland then return to MO. With a 6 hr ferry ride.

Senator Hillary Clinton was invited to address a major gathering of The American Indian nation two weeks ago in upper New York State ...She spoke for almost an hour on her future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living, should she one day become the first female...

4,312 miles and took 7 days.

Broom, I'm with you on this one. There is a lot more to this business than driving a truck and sitting waiting for the next load. I don't post here much but I do read the forums frequently. Your insight on the financial aspects of this industry and personal finances always are an...

You have to call Contractor Relations. Right now I believe there is a freeze on c & d units not sure about tractors though. Give them a call.

Why does this company get under my skin?! First of all we don't park in the Idleaire areas. However, have you noticed that when they walk around the truck stop they write the tag/DOT # down on a clipboard of the trucks in spots that are idling? We are in a truck stop today in CA, they wrote...

1. I'd be curious as to which company you are leased. 2. I would not start out with 2 new units. ( depending on previous experience). 3. This is typically the slow period. Although, the last quarter of the year did not materialize as far as income projections and business levels. If you...

Gregg, you are right on the money. We drove a Pete379 with a 132" sleeper for 7 years leased with Fedex CC. Never posted the specifications or pictures of it, nor did we feel the need to enter it in truck shows. Not in this for the attention or the professional tourist route. Phil, I'd be...

Love him or hate him...regardless, If you get a chance try to watch his show tonight @7:00 est and 9:00 it is about the extremist agenda. If you have a doubt why we are over there, this might answer some of those questions.

I know I am way out of line here, but I fear what lies ahead with illegal aliens and the immigration issue. With the House the only ones prepared to actually enforce our laws and the current situation with the elections. Hispanics voted 42% against Republicans. With the President's complete...

From what I understand the memorial will cost $100,000,000. And yet you can't use many of the MLK Jr.'s speeches without paying royalties to the King family. Hmmmmm.

Greg, What would your opinion be on possibly starting your own organization. If I can throw out an idea... E.G.O. Expediting's Great Owners and the Mobiles they drive. My only concern would be that it can be confused with an Eggo which as everyone knows is the tasty frozen waffle we cook in...

Gregg, While I anxiously await the release of The Spec Sheet for your truck, I am somewhat disappointed that it would seem that only half the story is being told here. Have you thought to publish a directory of the campgrounds you utilize and the services they provide so that in hopes we may be...

RE: Super Single Pos's Con's on Expediter Single a Michael, we have had super singles about a year now on our dr unit. They seem to run cooler in the summer months, ran ok in the snow last winter. Prepare yourself on price though..Michelin X-One will run @1000.00 a piece including rim. Best of...

RE: Straight Truck with Reefer/lift gate opinions Another thing you need to know is...having a liftgate can be both a blessing and a curse. Not all liftgate loads are temp controlled. Many are large Dewars (gas filled large containers on wheels used in MRI machines) which can weigh as much as...

This was fun...but finished with a craving for M & M's!! www.mms.com/us/dark/index.jsp

After 11 years, I can't agree with you more Rich. The industry is volital, where one can be bought out by another company in a flash...and let the changes begin. I remember Roberts and how it was back then. After Fedex took them over, all the signage had to be changed, then painting the boxes...

Maybe it deserves another new post. Name one program the government runs effectively? Education, social services, social security and the fiasco in New Orleans just to name a few...God help us if they get ahold of health care!!
