The JET!!! What's happening Mr.? And hello OVM! I vouch for Chet the Jet and I'd bet a ton that he still has all his records! The crazy thing is, he'd probably scan them and email them to you Paul if that's what it came down to! lol To the OP, I left there in 2011 so can only tell you to...

Insurance companies are finicky, combine that with a zealous safety department and you most likely have the reason why they were not hired. Just my opinion.

Hello all - long time no post! We've heard the rumors for a month or so and now I just got this in an email......... XPO Logistics Agrees to Acquire NLM, the Largest Web-based Expediter in North America $87 million transaction will add transportation management capabilities NLM...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!! I'm a 70s guy myself but thought I would toss out the question to see what you all listen to while your wheels are spinnin' or what you like to listen to when your lounging around, waiting for that load while enjoying the summer heat of Laredo in...

Agreed Vinnie! But regardless, FSC is not the issue here, the seemingly obvious lack of qualified O/O teams and trucks and how to attract them to haul our long haul expedite freight is. Like I said earlier, I have some great teams already qualified and ready to go, it's the lack available of...

Wow, I certainly appreciate all the great replies! Thanks you guys and I'm glad we're not alone in this challenge! And Colonel, LOL! Isn't that the awful truth! It's definitely become a challenge to find qualified O/Os and I pretty much thought like John - can't say that I blame them one...

Hi all! Curious about Experienced Owner Operator teams......where are they? We've got qualified teams, but no trucks to put them in. We are experiencing an increase in long haul, team expedite shipments as I suspect most other carriers are - so we are looking for good O/O teams to run our...

We have what many folks might consider unique or "too high" of some qualifications in order to be considered "qualified" to run for us - and what I can say is Todd fit the bill to a "T" and more. Check it out..................Todd is experienced - particularly in his vehicle of choice with a...

That's what I did about 3 weeks ago, called him, we agreed, he was all set sign up with us - then he musta had something better to do 'cause he didn't return my messages and I never heard from him again. That position has since been filled. By the way, I need to make a correction: our top...

Might help if you reply to messages left to you from your free classified add. No reply from you = not dependable...............which equals no job for you. Our top Sprinter broke 11,200 miles last month too - - - oh poo! Best of luck!

Simply put - in general terms, LTL (Less Than Load) means ---- if there is room on the back of a 28', 48' or 53' trailer that happens to be going in the general direction of a 1 to 24 skid "expedite" load, they (the carrier) will throw it in the trailer as "LTL"..........or worse yet, it can go...

Nope! it's picking WAY up! Make hay while the sun shines - yehaaa! Strap in 'cause here we go! Now till just before Christmas, REMAIN IN SERVICE - - come the first few weeks of Jan, you'll be glad you did! BE SAFE!

I always had the best results keeping the windshield as cold as possible, i.e. avoid using the defrosters, especially in sleeting conditions. Go to Walmart and add 2 or 3 BIG bottles of rubbing alcohol to your washer fluid. You may need more - don’t be afraid to add more..........sometimes...

Col, I had a meeting with another fleet owner this afternoon. They brought up the whole towing scenario. Before I could say anything, they assured me that they paid the tow bill to the consignee. Again, these folks have been around many years and know the game. Funny though - their main...

Like the col said, every situation is unique. First priority is always the safety of the drivers. After that, you scratch your head and figure out what to do. If the truck has to be towed, we pay to have that done initially. As long as that truck ends up at the consignee, naturally that truck...

If the signed contract states that said truck is bound by the contract to pick up freight - and deliver it to the consignee, then, the responsibility of delivering of the freight of course, is the truck owner. As such, the truck owner pays. Since there is nothing in the contract about who pays...

jaminjim, if you're referring to me, I take no offense at fortwayne. Its not that I do not agree with fortwayne because for the most part, I do. Just my .02 For what it’s worth Just my humble opinion, etc. etc. etc. Note: My above .02 only applies to “regular expeditingâ€. It does not...

Actually, it is not quite that simple. The (expedite) carrier can only hope to get what "The Market" will pay, which in turn, determines what the driver gets paid. Who and what determines "The Market"? Like any market, the "who" and "what" change all the time - and, there are always...

RE: What do owner's expect drivers to be able to d Generally, potential drivers will happily inform me of their mechanical prowess - or lack thereof - prior to actually putting them in my truck. As long as I pretty much know what their "mechanical capabilities" are, that's all I need...

RLENT, I can only speak for this carrier :)- - - but; While many carriers, including Fedex-CC, use percentage based pay, based on literally 100s of phone calls from drivers I've spoken with, I believe that most carriers pay flat rate based on truck size. Regardless, if/when the customer is...
