Good Morning to all in this Expediter world... I wanted to say thank you to those of you who have sent me your welcoming comments. To be truthful sure, there is crazy times but that is trucking, right? I actually enjoy chatting with drivers now that I have climbed out from behind the wheel...

Bob, good point for sure.... Do you think they do this in response to when drivers come up on construction on the cb yelling for a dance partner to create a wall of truck across the lanes? However, they do not realize that is done to keep them from jumping all over the place and cutting...

Davelees1, welcome to the expedite world!!! As much as I hate to say it though I think you will find you also see it quite often. Trust me even when I was OTR it seemed like every day there was one some place that had opinions not so pleasant. Please as mentioned earlier though just be...

Might I add a couple taken from the other side of the clouds as I traveled on business..

BTTLLC, Keep your chin up first of all. I see this post at the historically slowest time of the year in expedite. I have also read the other input from other members and must agree myself. I have talked to a couple of people lately who are in your type of situation and have bit off more than...

RDE1488, I am not sure about Fed Ex CC but I think for the most part and anybody please correct me but the age is about 12 and up. However, I am sure at that age there might be a clause about being a family member. I know here at All State our minimum is 12 years old. As always though this is...

Welcome Dhalltoyo, Guess this means I am no longer the newest of the newbies on the block.

Sure does, and glad to be here... I hope one day I will learn all the little tricks of the site...

Lets hear it for Dreamer himself!!! I really feel honored now noticing the pure dedication and this introduction being done at 12:48 a.m. this morning. Must have been a good cup of coffee.. Thanks again!!!

Dcalien, sent you a response. Please read and let me know what you think.

Another brisk morning here in North Carolina where we go from one extreme to the next weather wise almost weekly.. I hope this finds all of you having a good day so far and please have a safe day as you travel the nations highways today!!!:)

Dcalien, let me clarify my statement of a true sprinter. What has happened in the past is when we advertise for "vans" we get basic cargo vans that are too small. The actual sprinters which can hold 2-3 pallets. However, would I run right out and buy a sprinter right now during the slowest...

Huanak, I am sorry to hear about your difficulties and just like Terry said this is across the board usually a slower time of the year in expedite for sure. However, let me mention you asked about dispatchers being able to tell you your place in line. I cannot speak for other companies but I...

I do alot of electronics on the side and this is what I would suggest. Most truck Manufacturers have an adapter that would plug right in to the original plastic clip in the truck. Then you could read the labels. Or, if your existine wires on the radio are labeled before you disconnect it...

Good morning, I just happened to notice your question concerning female drivers and expedite. I figured I would throw this in being with my expedite company we have a couple of solo female cdl-a drivers and they do quite well. I cannot say they do more than any other drivers but they are a...

Unfortunately I do not see us resorting to this recruiting tactic in the near future but hey what can I say interesting thought anyway I guess..... Kinda creepy though!!!!!

DCalien, as I explained in an earlier response to someone else right now it is a slower time in the industry and I am not looking to put on "alot" more vans. However, depending on the specs of the truck and is it a true cargo van or is it actually a sprinter and your location I could possibly...

Again everyone I appreciate the feedback. I must admit I have had my differences with recruiting tactics when I was a driver as well. I think that is partially why I am hoping to never become "one of them" and just like many have said, speak with a driver on a driver to driver basis and as...

Robsdad, I have been away from dump trucking for a while now but one thing to be sure of that I have seen happen without mentioning any names. One company I know of added tags to their tandem trucks (thinking) they could haul more. Ends up after they had done so that their length even with...

Dragonrider, WOW... It is a shame you had to go through all of that but I am glad to hear your second experience put a little more time into your information. If you were to have talked to me for example about a sprinter van. I could just say ya, I will run your wheels off in order to build...
