I feel with a good pay plan driving for someone else you could be in the forties if you are agressive and smart. If you are driving your own I wouldn't want to be strapped with a big truck payment unless I were part of a committed (and you can take that a couple of ways :) )team. My experience...

Front page in the Indianapolis Star today was that the new Honda plant (in Greensburg)is paying substantially less wage than UAW standards, about $30,000/year versus $50,000/year (starting wage without overtime). The article states they are doing this by locating their plants in rural areas with...

How do you rate someone?

Thank you Reverend Dave.

Can someone tell me what the base rate for cargo vans is? An average fuel surcharge would be interesting too. Last year I averaged a little over .20 in a straight truck fuel surcharge.

OK David. There are no proven links between Iraq and the terrorist attacks of 911. There are no links with Iraq and WMD. WE, meaning the USA,put Saddam Hussien in power in Iraq. These are facts. This us an inapropriate thread and probably an innappropriate forum to attempt arguements about the...

You could also use use a cents per mile, i.e. 25 cents per mile as a start and adjust accordingly. Pretty simple system depending on who you drive with. 1000 miles =$250. A 3000 mile week =$750 for the co, with the lead assuming all other responsibilities. There have been more than one week I...

Aw sheesh Joebob! You said, "fight for your hard earned money" in reference to health care. But you are already sending your,and your children's, and your grandchildren's hard earned money to support a war in another country that did NOTHING to provoke us. Bullets or bandaids? There must be a...

RE: RE%3A US Customs Raises Rates Funny stuff all'yall! Stay off that processed beef anyway, just in case anybody cares about ya. I've never been pulled over for food either. BUT I did get yanked for vocabulary! The US Customs guy asks, "Do you have any freight?" I said, "No, I am unladen."...

I was charged $10.75 US re-enter the USA at the Ambassador Bridge last week. It used to be $5.00, which I never understood either. Are any of the expediting companies increasing their incentives for Canadian freight? The company I am leased with has only made it marginally incentivized to begin...

Allright, Cheri is nominated to lead a seminar on preparing good (and healthy) food on the road.:)

I also have some ideas about a sailboat as my other residence. My g/f and I just did a learn to sail vacation. Pretty cool.

The new trucks are going to be more expensive. John Mosler (as mentioned above) said that is why he stocked up on the 2007's when I met and briefly chatted with him at the Expedite Expo Friday. I am not suprised that the previous posters on this thread reccomend him. Sincere, honest, patient.

If you keep showing cool side adventures like that then everyone is going to want to start expediting! Sheesh, some folks never learn (just kidding). Thanks for the show. If it doesn't take too much more time, a few more subtitles would be nice, i.e. "This passed out drunken guy in the flannel...

RE: Yup, there it was right on the home page ad, "Largest expedite company in the country". "Duh" on me.

Congratulations folks, what a nice exhibit. I only had time for a half day breeze through but it was first class with all the expediting companies there, tons of trucks and plenty of entertainment. We saw one of the guys from the Chrome Shop Mafia givng a tour of their travelling truck with...

>Panther II is advertising on this site they are the "Largest >Expediting Company in The Country" > >My question is WHAT COUNTRY? > >The latest figures from FMCSA SAFER site shows FedEx C.C. >with 1431 trucks, and 916 for PII. Hi Redytrk, I tried all the Panther dealies on this site that I...

"Hey Freddie!" That's what I was hoping to hear, can you share a few details about how you have the gen set up and what type of A/C and how you rigged it up? One of my big concerns is carrying a galon of petrol across the border Can/US?

Has anyone tried using one of these gasoline sipping little jewels to power an A/C unit and other electrical accessories for the sleeper ? This is mostly driver seat thinking time at this point, but I am thinking you may be able to store/run the genset in an external tool box along with an extra...

Divorce after 15 years of marriage, two early teen kids. The marriage was going south anyway but expediting, well, expedited things. On the plus side I feel I spend more quality time with one of the kids now than before getting into this biz, maybe the other will come around someday. Bottom...
