I reside in the town just west of them in Joliet, IL. I know the owner and drove one of their company vans, several years ago between 06-07 time frame. If you would like to know more about them PM me and I'll share the positives and negatives for the short time I drove for him.

Since the Pilot has bought up some Petro's and Flying J's and removed their restaurants. Some Denny's and IHOPs have been installed, but I realized, why not contact Waffle House restaurants and see if they wouldn't be interested in coming aboard too and installing some of their restaurants in...

Re: Finding Loads/Back Hauls I have found any city that has a large manufacturing base is going to be a hot area for expedite, as sometimes the manufacturer needs freight moved in a JIT environment. Also cities that have a Company distribution center as sometimes a customer order is short and...

Very nice van Chef, can't wait to see it before, during and after. Do you have pics of your current set up in the c/v?

My safest places to layover. 1. Petro, off I-69 (north of Indiana Turnpike) 2. The J north of Evansville, IN 3. Walcott I-80 truckstop

Doggy, I was bored at work last night trying to stay awake, I found it amusing to see who still chats on here from 5 yrs ago, but more so, I found it interesting to see what kind of stuff people have hauled in their expedite experiences. Granted I opened up a can of worms so to speak regarding...

I'm not a newbie, and I knew full well when it was posted and how long ago.....however don't you think something like this happens now??????? My point is no matter when it happened, a driver should get paid for delivering his freight!

Chef, Keep me posted as to what type of van you choose. Jack sent me a PM that Rev's ride is a really good deal and its all set up for expediting......but right now can't make the jump to expediting fulltime, I need to catch up financially to where I was prior to me being laid off for almost...
