The big 3 use National Logistics and want their parts hauled for next to nothing. It's gotten to the point where automotive freight reates have gone down so low that it is very hard to turn a profit. Maybe the big three should start taking care of their vendors a little bit better, because...

I just don't see why Ford would get rid of Express-1 when their record of service is outstanding. This just goes to show you that there is no loyalty in the world of business. I know "even as a driver" that I would be upset because we take our jobs very seriously and we service the customer in...

I've always pictured turtle as "hannibal lecktor" driving around in his sprinter with arrogant and rude dispatchers tied to his wheel wells. j/k! he he.

I agree. Four years of Obama will keep, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and Rush Limbaugh in business. Higher ratings, more stories to promote, and they will play off of everyones fears and get paid a lot of $!

You made me spit out my coffee lawrence. That was some good come-back witt.

This is blizzard man! If you are ready, send me a private message under this name and I will give you 2 years worth of research and info on how to make it out there on your own. You seem to be dedicated and have a lot of business savvy about you! So, why not pay 400 a month in cargo insurance to...

Don't feel too bad, OVM. Panther is giving a fixed surcharge of about 17 cents per mile right now on top of 77 cents per mile "canadian linehaul contract" and 75 cents per mile "non canadian linehaul rate!" Grant you there are some panther drivers getting up to 30, 40, 50, even 60 cents per mile...

That is all fine and dandy, OVM, but you are not giving all off the information. I read the same report and sales are up due to the aquisition of two companies "bounce logistics" and "concert group logistics!" These two sectors of Express-1 are not related to the "traditional" expedite section...

That is true, Lawrence. But when GM tells me that they will not replace a "factory recalled" component because my van had over fifty thousand miles on it , it just made me decide to get my next van from a different manufacturer. My GM van had a defective fuse box due to a falty design that...

Don't be messin with my bling IRT.

Thank you very much for promoting my advertisemtnet. I really appreciate this Lawrence. You are the best.:)

We might get lucky if the government sends out the economic stimulus checks late and expedite companies will be called in to move bundles of checks from woodlawn to all points west. This could provide a nice boom in the expediting business in late January. Also, at the rate the federal reserve...

NIC= No one is commenting!:p

When I was a kid the television screen used to go blank at midnight and I thought intelligent alien life formes were trying to contact me!It was a heck of a lot more entertaining than watching Tony Robbins motivational infomercials (hell what would we do without Tony Robbins)? I used to have to...

Beware of family members.:eek:

This job isn't easy. I made some of the same mistakes when I started driving back in 06. Thankfully I ended up with an excellent owner out of Michigan (mike I will omit his last name knows who he is and always paid me on time). What it appears like to me is that your husband is driving an older...

I do fear Iceroadtrucker is a long lost descendent of sir William Shakespeare. His ability to perplex his reading audience is remeniscent of the great play hamlet. Oop's didn't know iceroadtricker was driving a tractor trailer. I stand corrected.

When I was leased on with Panther I grossed 15 thousand in two months and 3 weeks. So, if I get back with the right company again, I will make more money.:cool:

This is blizzard. I created this name to sell an item in the classifieds section. I never take time off when I am on the road because I live in California. I only take time off in hotel rooms when business is slow on the weekends. So, to answer your question, there was no time off taken at all...

I have a Webasto for sale in the classified section under other if anyone is interested. Webastos are very good heaters, you just have to keep them going all night. I had to replace the glow plug and fuel pump in mines because the van was so well insulated that the heater kept turning on and off...
