    Can someone please help me. When I registred on the forum I wanted to be 'TSexpediter'. TS being capital letters. For whatever reason I am 'tsexpediter' which I always read T sexpediter instead of TS expediter. I noticed other people have capital letters in their ID's. Can I change mine...

    The State of Cargo Van Expediting

    I have a piece of advice too, even though I know many, if not the majority on this forum, don't agree with me: look for a full time job & hire a driver for the van. I agree that at least with these gas prices expediting it not something to live off of, unless you're single and willing to...

    Diesel price versus cost, or whose $20 is that?

    The fluke in Leo's calculation There is one problem in Leo's calculation. He's mixing apples with oranges. In order to compare the two situations - buying gas in FL or GA - and to get an accurate result, you MUST consider that you buy the SAME amount of gas in each state. And I'll prove that...

    Heads-up when you decide to buy a truck

    Sorry for the confusion. I am 2 months into the deal. The 2 years thing was just an example on what it could happen. I will not default on the loan. I'm just saying if someone does, this will definitely happen to them. Unless they read and learn.

    Heads-up when you decide to buy a truck

    I've decided to make my story public because I'm outraged by the practices out-there when it comes to buying a truck. So me and my husband - very honest people - decided to buy our first truck. We found one that we liked and contacted the dealer looking for financing. They redirected us to a...

    On the road repairs

    What do you do if your truck brakes in the middle of the road? Is there such a thing as AAA for commercial vehicles?

    Fleet owner observation

    I'd say let's talk 'trillions'. If words can't hit you, maybe numbers can. 2007 actual numbers: - total revenue $94K - contractor exp (driver remuneration) $56K - other expenses $24K - auto purchase $30K - net profit/(loss) ($16K) So I ended up paying $16K out of my pocket and my...

    Searching the forum

    Can someone please explain why would a minimum of 4 letters be imposed for a search. How can I replace the word "tax" if that is what I'm looking for? How about "van" or other 3 letters words? I even saw a fairly recent post of a senior member pointing towards a search for "fuel tax...
