pjjjjj, Yes, you are so correct, we do look at things much different. After "talking" with many Expediters and reading positive posts from those like ATeam (for over a year), I figured my wife and I could make a good living Expediting. We made the commitment back in Aug and after that, there...

I'm sorry but I'm really confused about this whole topic. ATeam started this by asking if "WE" could help this guy out. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think "WE" have helped at all. What has he done that any of us have suggested? Now someone says thanks ATeam, if it hadn't been for...

Here is something I can never undestand. The #1 complaint I hear from Expediters on the road or read here on EO, is we have too many trucks, for the number of loads available. So, why in the World do any of you encourage newbies to join in our fun? Are you not just adding fuel to the...

It has now been nearly a week, since all of us have been trying to help this driver. So ATeam, I have a question. Does this guy not have a lap top? Seems to me I would have gotten on here by now thanking everyone for all the advice. I'm sure some of us would like to personally email him to...

Well in my opinion, he just dug himself into another issue. Never borrow money from a family member, let alone this large of an amount. I see future problems here. Even if this were my son, I would not lend him the money. Very bad business decisions were made to get him to this point. My...

Before starting this, I had been an O/O, T/T driver for nearly 35 years. I had purchased 5 new tractiors over that time period. International, GMC, Freight, KW and Volvo, in that order. All were O/O specked. Hands down, the Volvo was A+ in my book. I had never driven a straght truck cross...

You said it better than I did, thank you. BIG JOHN

First post on this topic. I'm "one of those" that don't turn the cheap loads down. I'm "one of those" that some have said, go ahead and keep taken um, then I'll get the good paying ones. I'm one of those that some have said, RECEIPE FOR FAILURE. I'm "one of those" who some have...

Lifes lessons are sometimes hard learned. Maybe this gentleman should get out of this business. If he were to stay, I think the end result will be the same or worse. When Kathy and I were taking class, a man looked like he had lost his best friend. We like Phil, are good listeners. Long...

Thanks blizzard for clearing that up. Thought you were directing your anger towards what I posted. I never take a T/T parking spot, that is even close to the buildings. Besides, Kathy and I love to get in as much exercise as possible. Many T.S's now have places for bobtails and straight...

Blizzard, take a chill pill. You take the only comment I made on this issue and that made your blood boil? Refresh my issue with this person: #1, backing into a spot that had no parking yellow lines (it was still daylight) and concrete to stop anyone from trying. #2, you couldn't get an...

Phil, if I may call you that (now that we are becoming so close), am I getting you confused tonight? Read real slow. With this "true" story, it is ment to help some see that things are not as bad as they could be. I was showing how I survived the above mentioned and that if a person could...

ATeam, are you messing with me?:D Pretty sure that is what I just said "positive attitude" BIG JOHN

Something very ironic just happened, that could be related to this topic. We are parked here at a truck stop. I took a very end spot and there is no parking to the left of us. A car would be hard pressed to try and squeezed in to try and get to our left. I'm puffing my chest a little to the...

May I first explain something. This post was to help drivers avoid a costly ticket in New Jersey. I know what I gave was correct information (you can read the warning on all the toll plaza service entries) Somehow it went right into a "broker is giving false info" reply. After a short...

Layoutshooter, I always love your sense of humor, thanks. BIG JOHN

Just as ATeam, many times a customer has asked if they could request for us to haul for them. We instead tell them thank you but this is the kind of service they will get from all the drivers for our company. BIG JOHN

Starting to feel like I'm being stalked by the ATeam:D Guess I need to explain in more detail what I am doing. SHOW HOW THINGS COULD BE A LOT WORSE. Then I gave an example. No I will not tell how I have made it for over 35 years in the trucking industry. For two reasons. One: as...

Sorry, not going to give up. Things are not as bad as they "could" be. No doom and gloom the sky is falling stuff here. I'm determined to try and help some feel a little better by sharing the bad times from years past in the frieght business. It was the early 70's and just like now, low...

The information ATeam gave about broker giving false information, is false.:D Too funny. Moose, maybe I should give you the phone number of the wife who's husband was killed because a driver using her cell phone ran a red light. Simple, if she had not been on the cell phone, my friend would...
