RE: Which company actually cares about good driver This response was not pointed in your direction Team Caffee, and I hope that you don't take offense. If you read the original post I was simply asking a question about situation that I am currently in with the company that I work for... And...

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver Leo, Thanks for that advise, now that is an answere that I was really looking for. Like I said, I am not looking to jump ship yet, Just asking oppinions from the veterans in the industry. And I appreciate good sound advice like that. I...

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver Haven't said anything about leaving YET!! Just keeping my options open.. And if that is the nature to expediting, then so be it. Just looking for good advice as a group to see if everyone agree's that this is normal..

Hey everyone, I am leased on with a un-named company right now. Un-named because I do not believe in putting the company down that you work for. My problem is that I feel like I am sitting way to much, and the communication is far less that I would expect from a company. Here in short is a...

I am getting ready to hit the road. Until the owner and I sign our purchase agreement for the truck (I will be running 6 months for him first to learn more about the industry) I was wandering if any of you guys had good tips to drasticaly cut down on winter Idle time? Such as buying a small...

Here there Big, I would suggest you call Ann at bolt and talk to her personally if you are wanting the dollar and cents. Her number is 419-729-9381 ext 102. She is very helpful and always has been nice to me, so I am sure she will answere any questions you might have. Good Luck

I am going to orientation with Bolt on Tuesday November 28. I will just clear up all the information first hand on my space blogs. Just look for Live 2 Ride (that is my screen name there). I will update it as often as possible with all detail of a "3rd tier company". From the good, bad...

Chuckwagon, Thanks for the reply, but the reason that I am looking to draw up a contract is that his contract is pretty much that I am an independent contractor, using his equipment, that is leased on to a company. That's pretty much it... He has already agreed to let me take the truck to...

I have been trying to buy my own truck, but I am going to take everyone's advice and start out with a Owner and drive for him. He does not have much of a contract. Trying to watch out for BOTH of our best interest, I would like to write up a contract that better suits both parties and see if...

Also living in the "great" state of Indiana, All I can say is next time we vote, we better UNITE and say "DITCH MITCH"... If you live in Indiana, feel free to let Mitch know how you feel. The nice thing is that there is a way around every road in Indiana...LOL

I'm not sure if your looking for new or used, or which area you live in. However, if you live close to Indiana, Fort Wayne Kenworth has brand new T300 expediter sitting on their lot.

I am trying to break into the expediting industrie after almost 9 years of being a maintenance manager/supervisor in an Industrial setting. I have a strong business background, and have read just about every post on OE. I understand what the ups and downs are of the industry, but still have a...

Thanks everyone for the input. Of course I was hoping that I would find a good enough truck NOT to have to do a complete when bought, but I also fret on buying a used truck. However going in debt to the tune of 75k or so isn't a option either.. Operating cost vs. Revenue is the key factor...

I am planning on purchasing my first expediting truck and entering the business. Just from a business perspective wouldn't it be wiser for a "entry level" o/o to purchase a used T-300 (I plan on buying a Kenworth only because of craftmanship, durability, longevity, rebuildability) for let's...

I have been observing for some time reading the posts and trying learn as much as possible. To give everyone some background information, I am a certified Industrial Electrician. I currently work as a Maintenance Manager for a company locally, and have spent the last 8 years in management...
