It doesn't sound like an ad I would reply to.

The first place I would start is with the Recruiter. Our Recruiter at FedEx was an invaluable resource. We'd never driven before so we weren't even sure we would like it. He got us in touch with a quality fleet owner and found us the truck. The fleet owner made all the arrangements for us to...

I would think that a company that was in financial distress, would reorganize and the Recruiters would be the first to go. I think a better way to phrase that question would be, "How has ________ company positioned itself to remain a leader in this tough economic time?"

No, you're wrong FDCC WG does allow pets, just so long as they are stuffed!

The true sign of a good owner is . . . Do you get paid on time and in the correct amount? Yes When you call in, are they helpful and pleasant? Yes And, when your truck needs repair or maintenance - is it done promptly? Yes I have a good owner.

In the last year we have . . . Gone to the French Quarter - Parked at Wal-Mart and took a bus down. Branson, MO - good parking all along the main drag. Las Vegas (several times) - Parking behind Circus Circus and you can walk the strip from there. Old Town Albuquerque - you can park...

Well, you have to be able to read between the lines when you're talking to recruiters. Honestly, they don't know all the ins-and-outs of the business, and their job is to sign you up, so they have a tendancy to elaborate a bit. I think the most important question to ask a recruiter is . ...

Hi 61Glide and welcome, My husband and I drive a S/T for an owner (large owner). We started last March as a standard surface expedite - and we were barely making ends meet. In June we got a brand new truck and went to WG training - and right away our income got way better. In Sept. we went...

Cute. But, that is a perfect example. White Glove isn't for everyone. Expediting isn't for everyone. Some people are very attached to a pet and you can't have a pet in White Glove. If White Glove doesn't fit you'll have to just quit. Sorry, that was really bad.

One of the most common questions asked by would be expediters is . . . Which company is the best to lease on with? :confused: This is a most impossible question to answer on EO because we are all signed on with different companies. The only answer to this question is . . . Do your homework...

Thanks SBBExpress, that's kind of what I thought. But, I think that the freight will pick up fairly soon and those that are positioned to survive the hard times, will be on the ready when the market comes back. So, after 3 years has your load offers improved or are you still running...

I would also add that if you are a team driver then you should at very least be consulted prior to accepting any load offers. If my teamer started leaving me out of all the decisions he'd be wearing pink underware or wake up with one eyebrow shaved off, or something - but that all came with the...

Not that I don't think you're right, but I do have a cute story about <75. We went into Atlanta to meet up with some friends that drive for the same owner. They had gotten there just before us, so they were ahead of us on the board. We were parked side-by-side and there must have been close...

I know there may be no answer to my question, with the exception of we are S.O.L. Even so, I figured I'd ask to see if there was a way around this catch 22. My husband and I are approaching our 1 year anniversary of doing this for a living, and I must say it has been the best year of our...

Actually, I think I would do rather well - except I have no clue what the history of Kansas is. I used to be a legal admin. so grammar, syllables, etc. are a sinch. I am a history buff, so American history is good. I might have some trouble with the countries in Europe and their capitals...

Yes, actually, if no one else will take it - they will offer the same load to C's, D's, and even E's.:confused:

Sorry, Beltfed, I have to agree with the last responder. Most expedite companies are not accepting vans right now. Have you considered dumping the van, getting a team driver, and finding an owner of a straight truck to hire you on? My husband and team for an owner in a straight truck -...

I'm glad that it's not just been my imagination. It's been for about the last 3 weeks that we have been doing poopoo. Although, one of our friends somehow seems to be picking up the $4K loads consistently, which made me wonder if it was just my own dumb luck. We are TVal, yet have sat in...

We originally set out to do a little fishing, and stumbled across old Ft. Hunter just off of the highway. You can park right on the side of the road and go tour the old restored town and mansion museum. We had a good time, but never did find a place to go fishing. :)

Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that we also went to visit an Amish community about 50 miles from Akron.
