Does anybody know what expediting co is negotiating with Schneider to merge. And did you know that the merger does not include the cargo vans. Could this be the reason for the slow down for van loads. Could this be why so many van loads are being put on the D units to up the load count for that...

I have seen the van with 4 farrots inside and your right it STUNK. It is the same van with the skulls. I have aso seen the aligator van. I have in 2 and 1/2 years seen most if not all of these personallized vans. Frankly I would not do that to anything I drive. I do not like fender skirts or...

I was looking at the survey and I noticed that Con-Way Now is not included. What is the reason? I'm sure there are alot of people who have a lot to contribute about Con-Way Now. Could it be they are shy? Do everyone a favor and include them in the survey,and a big thanks to EOL for doing such a...

Gypsy: I have also QUIT. I have 2 2001 cargo vans and there is no use trying to sell them. I quit on New Years Eve. Midnight. I went outside and there was no signs in the sky or phone calls of sympathy that I could see. I called my driver (who was sitting at home) and he was not surprised. Don't...

Great people to work with. Actually they are the best I've encountered. We run as a team and it is possible to go a week without a load. It's not their fault. Expedited freight is the blame. Some places you just can't get out. It's six of one and 1/2 of the other.I drive a D unit and have two...

You can't find nicer people to work with but !!!!!!! Some of the express centers have their own trucks and you know how that works. I drive a D unit and went to Texas two times and had to deadhead out both times. They have the same problems as all the other expediters have. LOADS. I talked to...

I was wondering the same thing until I got a D unit and there was my answer. I started hauling 2 b loads at a whack. Double loading b loads at two pickup points and delivering to a single customer. All this double pickup is being done at 29 dollars for a second stopoff on seperate...

Gator,,,,,You could be with anybody but my intuition tells me we are with the same hard heads. I was told they would stop recruiting in April but,,,,,,well April came and went. I have had an unhappy trail of drivers running my vans and they cost 100.00 dollars for a background check. I am...

I am an owner with two trucks on the road. One is team operated and the other is driven by a single. I am about to get into a truck for a personal friend and drive as a DRIVER on a % basis. I am doing this to generate revenue and to keep active. If I could make money driving my truck I would...

Been there as a driver for another contractor and then went back as a contractor. Tried to last but they wore me down and I tried to put a driver on the truck and they wore him down. Things are changing at Fed Ex CC but for the better or worse nobody knows. They just recently sent me a letter...

You said your girlfriend has a GOOD paying job. She is going to be very pissed off at you for allowing her to quit her GOOD paying job to live in a truck. My wife did that 2 years ago and I will never be able to tell her how sorry I am for talking her into this EXPEDITING thing. We bought 2...

Tri State will require you to put the seat back in for a road test so be sure you don't go there after you take the seat out. They did that to a driver when I was there after orientation and he had to go home and put his seat back in just for the road test and then go home and take it back out...

Let me help you understand. I have a new cargo van and I have had 3 drivers in it since I bought it a year ago. My bookeeper has told me I have made about 300 dollars in a year above expenses. There is just no way to keep a truck up and then have it tore up by everybody that comes along and then...

Been with Landstar, FedEx CC, Tri-State, And Con-Way Now. When they have loads you work when they don't have loads you sit. Look at your contract before you sign it and see if there is any thing in it that says "WE WILL AGREE TO DO ? FOR YOU" No such language exists. The contracts say "YOU WILL...

DON'T DO IT !!!! You are going to be just like a friend of mine and I will not tell you hisname here. If you call or e-mail me I will let you have his phone number. He called me last night from Texas and said he has had 2 loads in 2 weeks. He is teaming with his wife and is leased to Con-Way. He...

We have been with both,FedEx cc and Con-Way Now. You could say Fed Ex Now or Con-Way cc. It is six of one and 1/2 dozen of the other. When they have work you are busy when they don't you sit. We run as a team and we would still be with FedEx if they had not let us sit too many times and had more...

Recently I got a recruitment leter from FedEx CC. Has anybody received one of these letters. The letter started out telling me what a valued contractor I was at one time and they would like for me to come back. I answered the recruiter via e-mail and I have had NO answer back from him. The last...

We are a team in a cargo van. I thought you should know that b4 you read my opinion on deadhead. our deadhead is running consistant with the rest of the people responding (30%). I hate any deadhead and am learning to turn down the loads that I know will require deadhead. I have turned down the...

I sent you e-mail,,,,I left phone messages for you to return,,,and I have contacted your office and still no reply. I guess I'm not what you are looking for. So I guess I will continue to make hay where I am . Expediting with one of your competitors.
