    What Expediting companies should know

    I THINK A COUPLE GOOD CHANGES WOULD BE THAT THE DRIVER GETS 100% OF DETENTION TIME. ITS OUR FUEL BURNING WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO UNLOAD OR LOAD.

    how's business so far?

    Business is great, just like it was the latter part of last year after we made "the switch". By the way, your comment to barbara of being GUTLESS for not saying who she worked for in another post was ignorant and uncalled for. But then again, its a free forum.

    OK, i finally found it in the shopping section (figured the wife would have found that one first..lol) A little surprising to see that 14% of the d units a t tri-state are making $200,000 plus a year. Yet all the complaining about them on here. Hmmmm

    Switching Back

    Regarding taking off decals.....I've only changed companies once, but i've tried all the adhesive removers out there. The best one out there is GOOF OFF...it puts a whoopin on GOO GONE and all the others. Much less elbow grease is needed and also much faster. (just really stinky, thats all). It...

    LETS BETTER OUR INDUSTRY

    By the way, you were asking that we be more PROFESSIONAL. I hope that when you leave a customer and they say "have a good day" or "thank you", you dont turn around and say "OUT" like you do in here. Thats not very professional...dont you know that Mr. Professional? Must have to forgot to read...

    Expediters Wanted,SIT allover waiting for loads!

    RE: Sorry..forgot something regarding the 24 "penalty" for going home. When we (my wife and I) were there , the "penalty" was 33 hours. It did not matter if you were going home for a death in the family, needed an inspection, or just wanted to go. Every drive home was UNauthorized, UNpaid, and...

    Expediters Wanted,SIT allover waiting for loads!

    RE: Action... you really don't have to say what company you are working for. Any current or ex-Fedex C.C. driver(s) can relate to you and is in the same boat with you regarding the "crow fly" miles, unauthorized layovers, and giving those multi-million dollar companies a $200 "break" on a...
