Hey Rich I wouldn't put it past them but it could also be for dispatchers. You know they go through them as fast as drivers. But what really gets me is they make it a point to say this includes cargo vans. I mean come on already how many is enough. Theres already 3 times as many as there...

Well all I know is Jr. went from step motors to step-on-it Motors. I expect Jr. to win a few more races this year and he's a good addition to the Hendrick team. I also think Kyle Busch will will a few this year too. And Kudos to Ryan Newman for getting that monkey off his back. If your going...

I have taken a shower a couple of times at the Oh. service plazas the only problem I found was my teeth were chattering when I got out, water just doesn't get hot enough. I don't know if it's still that way it's been quite awhile since. But either way you need to applaud their effort to provide...

The longest dwell time would be the fairest way to go. scenario; You delivered a 300 mile load out to BFE, after delivery you sat 2 days waiting on another load which never came so you decide to go to another board, lets say Memphis and D/H 250 miles to get there. another driver delivers a...

Pilot has really changed over the years and I guess they forgot how they got where they are. And it was also overheard by a driver and I believe it was even posted on EO that a district or regional manager was overheard saying we don't want drivers hanging around, we want them to fuel buy their...

Yes today a 2 hour detention is the standard but many years ago when I got into this I was driving a straight truck, when expedite was exactly that expedite. I can't tell you how many times I would show up at either the shipper or consignee and if there were no docks open they would have a truck...

Did anyone happen to read the announcement at the top of the forums. Just what we all need in these times of overabundance freight.

I'll be short, sweet and to the point. Start with US Express because I can't see driving for a fleet owner and teaming with someone who is not your spouse generating enough for 2 incomes. Not to mention you maybe having to have hometime different from your co-driver.

I have said for years now that they should do away with these first outs, Mainly because they don't mean anything. ie: you get offered another bad load right after and then lose your first out for turning that load down. You get to your destination and find your 6th first out, which translates...

Yes there are alot of companys still putting on vans, thats because it doesn't cost them anything for you to be sitting in a parking lot for days on end and who knows you just might happen to end up in an area where you could cover that one load for them that they may not otherwise of been able...

Baracade, glad to hear you didn't jump in with both feet just to drown, you not only need to know how to swim but need to make sure the water is fine and right now it's pretty damn cold. I'm pretty sure anyone jumping in right now and not being at least somewhat experienced would suffer from...

You know I just don't understand something here. There has been post after post about how the expediting field is just saturated with vans, drivers either deadheading all over the place looking for loads or sitting days on end in a parking lot somewhere praying for a load and not getting those...

Nobody likes to deadhead but to accept a load just to cover relocation costs "fuel" is what keeps all this cheap freight around. So when you cry you can't find any good paying loads you have no one to blame but yourself.

First of all let me start out by saying I'm sorry. Now with that out of the way the saying that comes to mind is, " more money then brains" Why not just buy yourself a 1 ton pickup or a 1 ton dually pickup either would do just fine for that little amount of weight to tow. The only reason that...

Well either no one from panther has read this post ( yeah right ) or it's still to early to tell.

I don't think it should be a problem, I think they fall off of the insurance records after 5 years.

Too Funny, That was a good one!

Greg if that was to happen I know I would and I'm sure many many others would go back to driving a straight truck. You know make the BIG BUCKS. Then don't be surprised if you ask for your board position only to find out that your 25th out.

I see, thanks for filling me in.

Ahem, I repeat. I don't understand, Why is it that you would have this so called courier with you anyway? If they are a courier why then wouldn't they just take their own vechicle?
