    Has anyoe heard of On Call Logistics?

    Yes but the bad decisions were acknowledged. He certainly wants to keep business going so he wants to try and avoid panic about drivers not getting paid. Slow pay is easier to keep people running loads for you than no pay so he would certainly want to get that out there. Not that you or I would...

    In USA How Much Maximum Salary For Truck Drivers

    That is well above average pay for a truck driver. A newer driver might only make about $40k for their first year and a driver with 1-2 years experience should make around $50k. Once you get 2-3 years experience you can get closer to $60k or even $70k depending on the type of company you drive...

    Has anyoe heard of On Call Logistics?

    I never defended him at all. He said that he got focused on trying to out earn his mistakes and fell behind but he is getting things back track. There was no ripoff, scam, or bad intentions here. I'm just saying that there is no point in gloating and celebrating over another person's troubles...

    Run team with her and it will help produce extra income especially at a company like Panther that limits the amount of time a solo van driver can drive. It's nice to be able to take a nap while the van is still moving too.

    Has anyoe heard of On Call Logistics?

    Yeah right. MANY smaller carriers have trouble collecting and go under because the customer fails to pay. That's why the broker or customer uses them in the first place. Yeah that's what he said. How smooth is your expedite company running? How many vans do you have signed on? No problems at...

    Riding a bike

    I found riding a bike is much more fun than walking for exercise. We were walking a few miles a day and it just seems to be harder on your joints. My third day riding a bike after almost 20 years and we did a little over 10 miles today. We have a nice trail that runs along a canal and through...

    Riding a bike

    I was wondering if it was as simple as putting them in the front of the box or if there was another method that I wasn't thinking of.

    ATTN All owners/fleet owners & carriers

    The current drug tests aren't effective enough and they don't even test for all the major drugs. Paying for a hair test is pretty cheap insurance for a fleet owner.

    Man 30 years on death row freed

    Cases like this are what changed my mind about the death penalty. I might support the idea of death penalty use in cases where the entire crime is on camera and the suspect is easily identified from the video but that should be the lowest standard of proof.

    Been stuck in an office for 26 years......

    The industry has changed a lot in the last several years so I would pretty much dismiss any influence that conversation had and look at the industry with the brew info found here. It's not an easy lifestyle for someone with kids at home but it sounds like you are pretty well setup being debt...

    Do we know who this is?

    Such a sad event that happens all too often in our profession. Thoughts and prayers for the deceased and for the other driver as he deals with this.

    Anti-gay

    Not exactly rabidly anti-gay but he does see it as a sin. "I love people who have same sex attraction, and so does God,” Makela wrote. “The proof is in the sacrifice He made for all of us who sin… We don’t tell a person born with tendencies to abuse alcohol to keep on giving in to his innate...
