Yes and no. I have been with Tri-State for almost a year and Fedex before that. I am a solo cargo van driver, driving for an owner. I am happy with my situation for the most part because I like this kind of work. Sure, my income is way down but usually I have a good week or two every month that...

Great story in that you gave it your all. I don't think you failed. I wish you all the best in the future.

The government will NEVER spend its way into prosperity. It is impossible since the only way our leaders know how to live is by spending and borrowing beyond their means. In the longer run, we are about done as a financial superpower simply because there is no way to keep borrowing and not have...

It is slow enough to be able to read War and Peace without ever putting it down. I hear on Bloomberg finance that some economists expect this downturn to possibly last into 2011 or at least another two years. I also work for Tri-State and thus far my one run in the current pay period was for...

I am thankful for being able to learn all kinds of survivor skills like living on lower pay, winter driving, sleeping in the cold, wondering all night if the truck will start in the morning and how to shop at Walmart without spending any money. But at least I am having fun chasing my girlfriend...

You have to understand it is TV and ratings are all that counts, not quality or sense. If it creates a buzz, the media will support it to the hilt. Next you will be telling us that they voted for Paris as woman of the year. The media and its celebs are all on a different planet, living in a...

You mentioned teams that have all been in the Super Bowl. How can you put my team, the Detroit Lions, in that class? In a way I am glad we did not make the playoffs. We have been killed in most road games this year. So, it makes no sense for the Lions to make the playoffs and go to New York or...

I Have Worked For Both I have worked for both Custom Critical and Fedex Home Delivery. The difference as I see it is with FHD, is that you have expectations for every work day of the week, five in this case. You go to the same terminal everyday and do the same things. You have little control...

This is an excellent question. Reading through many of the forums, it seems that people are spending lots of idle time waiting for the next load to appear. And since many have computers with them, why not use the Internet to make some extra money? Myself, I am getting back into expediting...

The sad part is that you are telling the truth. According to "H", I will buy a health care policy for myself and add on 10 people who don't have it and pay for the whole thing.

This is a great answer about depending on luck to make your business work. I do not believe in luck, but more in probabilities. And I believe that how one thinks about this business (or life in general) has more to do with prosperity than luck. Have you known or seen people who seem to have all...

Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I am thinking about getting back into expediting and was considering All Types Expediting. After spending the last 3 hours reading all the related posts, I think I will look elsewhere. I have worked for Roberet's Express and FedEx CC and can say my experience...
