    TINMAN The only area I find through the User Menu area is the Edit Profile, which after opening, shows that ICQ is disabled. What is ICQ? and, is this what I need to enable for rating? Where did you look to see that TINMAN's rating was disabled?? Help...

    I have tried repeatedly to use the rating system to post a rating to a user on this fforum. I get the window which says, "Go to user Menu and select Change Your Preference". At that point, I get no help. All catagories in the Preferences are selected "yes". TINMAN

    Weekly Revenue II

    Appreciate all the encouragement and advice. OntarioVanMan: all that you say is wise and true in this industry. I began practicing dispatch relations from the start (picked up from reading all the archives). The other two van drivers seem to be "spoiled", and turn down runs, etc. And, obiously...

    Weekly Revenue II

    Well, things have improved for me at Eagle. My last gross was at 725. And this week may be near 1500!. I'm certain that figure won't come up frequently, but at least now I can pay off my fuel bill in full. Had several 150-200 mi trips, and then took one to Dallas, back to Wichita, and then out...

    Weekly Revenue

    jaminjim, thanks... I think the same of the emad system (causes me much wasted time when it doesn't work), and yes, waiting two weeks for pay isn't right! Your wife's deductions must not include EGL's insurance. However, I DID make 800 last week, so maybe the curve on income is on the upswing. I...

    Nice to hear from you, Lawrence. And, thanks for the reply. I met you at the Expo - we were the other retired Coast Guard couple (talkling with Terry Oconnell). I gained alot of insight and motivation from all the people I spoke with at the Detroiter. Tinman

    Yes, I pay for the Worker's Comp, Vehicle/Cargo Liability Insurance. My original intent in hiring with Eagle was to develop a six-months' basis of experience for later hiring to an expediting company. Thanks for the replies. Tinman

    Weekly Revenue

    Been with Eagle, driving cargo van for a month. First pay periods were odd, with the additional one-time charges, but now I have a feel for what revenue I can generate for a week's efforts. And it isn't what I had expected, or been told. Not being negativer here - I came in to test the waters at...

    GMC or Chevy Cargo Van

    I'm buying a Chevy Express 3500 1-ton extended cargo van. The 0% is available through the Chevy Commercial/Fleet Manager at my dealership, but it is only offered for the 2003's. I haave found that in my area (Kansas City), the end-year pickings are slim-to-none. After having four bought before...

    Thanks again, JuJu Landstar is my wish list. I am going to drive local and some out-of-state for Eagle Global Logistics for entry level experience. I was on a roll last night, with poems and my machines (only one more of that!). Here's my last, and least, offering: I once ran...
