When I am home, I do a lot of parts runs, office supplies runs etc. These runs are mostly on one vehicle with proper odometer recording, date purpose etc. This year I added an odometer on my electric trike and am maintaining records as required, claiming the full 0.56.5 per mile. The problem is...

When they finally started pulling Pilots out of the cockpit before Take-Off who reaked of alcohol. :rolleyes:

We are at home in service dispatched on a load that picks up on the 26th. This year it just worked out that way. Previous years we just stayed out and tried to visit family scattered across this Great Nation! Merry Christmass to all!

Collect as much information as you can; photos, truck data, discription of the perp. etc. then report to the local LEO and call the Trucking company & notify management at the truck stop. I do this without hesitation (except for turtles). Results so far... 2 had other outstanding warrants for...

Welcome back JJ! Did you come back as a flat rate or % ?

Up until the big CREDIT BUREAUS came to fruition, we had a service in the finance industry called the LENDERS EXCHANGE. It allowed the smaller companies to minimize their risk when it came to lending decisions. For a while, both services were available whith the bigger companies primarily using...

NO WAY IN THE WORLD WOULD I SPEND ONE PENNY ON THAT THING! I would go bankrupt turning loads down because I would be too comfortable to get up.

When that happens to me I shove a stick down the "TAX HOLE" basket and it gives me the green light every time. (look first to see if it is jammed and if it is, just shove the stick without paying and you get a free toll as well as fixing their jam).I keep the stick for that very purpose. Usually...

We call at the time we are informed we have been (pre) dispatched and get the critical info; address, name of company, POC, etc. Then when we deliver our current run, the next pu is already in our gps and off we go...macro 1 happens sometime enroute and the whole event is seamless...

Always good to be optimistic in this business. After reading your last post, I stopped by Freightliner in Lake City Fl. and bought a new idle pulley and tensioner and replaced them myself at the next rest stop southbound. Our CAT C11 has 670,000+ miles and so far no real problems. But the...

Congratulations on your new adventure. What is the update on your truck? What happened to it and how was FYDA? Not the best of starts but if you can make it thru this, life as a expediter will become much easier for you. Good luck and thanks for your post.

I am confused Streak. On the title you state; "My pretty red bras in Road Check 2012: No sense of humor!". But in your post, you try to claim the bras belong to your wife. So which is it really? Does Streak have a deep-dark secret? Is this a closet thing? Your post creates much more...

I think a Dispatcher has already written that one as a training manual.

I know she tried mini seminars on expediting but I don't think the market was large enough to support it...would like to know what happened to them....

And another one that moved to the Phillipines and started a water taxi business...when he said he was going to write a book, he was belittled by a suggestion that he should give his information for free...that same poster who made that suggestion has now announced that he is going to write a...

I think Linda Yates is the first...I have her book from back in 2006. It was a fun read, mildly imformative and honest. She didn't come off as superior or smarter than most...it is just straight up honest. Don't know if it is still published. Page Unavailable TITLE: The first book on expediting...

If I had a son he would look just like DAVEKC!

YES! RV Parking...40; ST welcomed...well worth the $ and a day. Deli is very expensive though...

A few months ago we were all treated with a live saga of a loyal high end contractor comming to the realization that the Carrier he had been with since he had began his carreer in expediting was changing their buisness model. We all read on EO about the emotional energy expended and the expenses...

Sorry cricket cruncher, I was going to link to the video of the ape that went ape but after watching the victim's interview, I realized it would be tasteless to make lite of that event...so we will let "trained monkey" stand on its own...:)
