Changed out my engine & cabin air filters this am (every 6 months, Spring & Fall) Lots of soy bean/corn combines and hard-working farmers working out there blowing their dust. Have a great, safe day of driving. (Ya, I know I got my finger and my boot toe in my pic!)

.....not for long....

Niccccce! I need a Shop first.

Bad accident NB I75...2 Commercial Vehicles one was a Box Truck...no Carrier Name visible on it. Guilty Driver was Cited for 'Following too Closely'. Taking 582 to 25 and then 475 NB....NOT SB, as you'll just make a big loop like I just did.

Oh really? Wow.

Geeez, that's Crappy and a sure way out of any future expediting work! Good luck to you...am in Ohio....will keep an eye out.

I was on my way up here to pick up the load. Saw the most loving, heart-warming sight in of all places a Cemetery in Palmira Sp? Palmyra, Michigan. You know how when your driving and you see something and then you take a second look because it's not the usual thing to see right there? I'll never...

Glad to learn this morning the Chrysler Strike in Toledo didn't happen.

Sounds like Sushi... ...or Rock n Roll.

Littlehill, your statement .... "Want to 'make sure' we are ALWAYS BUSY AND RUNNING HARD." In Expediting there is no "making sure". You either are moving loaded or sitting, waiting. No Carrier can Guarantee that you are "Always Busy and Running Hard". Expediting is a Crap Shoot, a Gamble, a...

Your husband should walk over to Straight Truck Drivers and Vanners at the Truck Stops who expedite and talk with them about what expediting is all about. What kind of Vehicle are you going to TEAM in? That matters. Expediting is NOTHING like having a Dedicated Route in a Tractor Trailer or...

Where did I come up with what idea...which idea Ken? All my thoughts come from me. LOL! If you've been on EO long enough, you'll have read it occasionally....the 'put down'. If you're not driving for the same company as the Poster. - Lisa (a fairly decent, helpful human being....I mean....a...

Make sure your husband (who has driven Truck) realizes that in Expediting there's very, very, very seldom any Preplanned Loads. You all, depending on what kind of vehicle you end up purchasing in the end...may be sitting somewhere some days, empty. Expediting is hit or miss, it's a Gamble. You...

We're all just PEOPLE who drive for a living. I surely hope people don't judge a person for WHO they are Contracted on with. Pretty sad if so. Makes no matter to me. I enjoy a person for them, for who they are heart and mind. There's a lot of Carriers and a lot of Freight from different...

Drive an Owner's vehicle before purchasing your own. Learn the Ropes, Costs, Pay over several Months prior to LEAPING in with BOTH FEET and maybe regretting it. Expediting is a unique Animal requiring great Patience and Averaging.

Of Course Ken. Every Carrier is a little different. :rolleyes: Correct, which is why I answered WornOut's question. He also drives for Bolt. I just head to Bolt's Docks and wait in the Driver's Lounge For the Freight to come across the Border or pick up at one of the surrounding warehouses... if...

if I deliver to Laredo on a Friday, 50 % of the time I have to wait over the weekend to get a Load back up to Ohio, Indiana, Michigan or Illinois. Sometimes if I deliver during the week, I may have a load by the end of the following day. The longest I have waited in 4 1/2 years with Bolt in...

Well, I located a Burger King and I really love their Grilled Chicken, Apple, Cranberry Salad with Ranch Dressing so I'm in my Sprinter eating when in flys this Officer, party lights on and blocks the Car in. WHOO Hoo! I've got some excitement to watch like in a Movie! Oh Boy! Checked his...

I let her run here in the cut grass after unloading, no traffic! I swear for 12 yrs. old she can still go...now she's ready to sleep after staying awake while I drove. Left the house at 7:10am and now fueling, hunting for food and a place to sleep. - 19:25 Great Diesel Price here at this Kroger...

Does Mrs. Ragman read these? Your new name : Bagman....no,no..no, no...not Batman, BAGman.
