If your new service is soon to be with Sprint; look very carefully at their data plan, “unlimited on their network” now look at their coverage map and take note of the areas that are roaming, hence not on their network. Sprint needs to spend billions in fixing their wireless system. If you...

I think it’s time to take another Hiatus from posting on the EO Phil. No individual on this form is less deserving of your petulant statement above than Linda of TeamCaffee. IMO

That is a uniformed and narrow view of running a trucking company, whether a single truck company or a company of many trucks. We provision for sales, safety, dispatch, operations etc. just as other, larger truck companies do.

“Maybe a little ignorant” whatever words you choose; uninformed, uneducated, unfamiliar or maybe unapprised, whatever word you like it seems unlikely you can help greg336. I can. Should I?

So you’re saying first impressions don’t count. That if I had researched everything previously posted by greg334 I would then, and only then understand he crapped out, that it is OK to have some good laughs at him due to his failure to have NOT chosen wisely and followed the path as set forth by...

Harsh, further info on why you are bit-chee slapping this guy openly on the EO. Crapped out with Load1? FECC?

Let me rephrase the question. Do you have and use an EOBR. If yes, has your company supplied you with a written policy detailing what you are to do if your EROB unit breaks down? Could you briefly explain your company policy should the EROB malfunction?

For drivers who use an EOBR, what is your company’s safety policy/method for keeping track of your HOS when your EORB unit breaks down? And, have you received a written copy of that policy?

Really? You need only to wait till more of those who post here have joined LandStar. My view, the FedX bashing has increased since your flip to LandStar.

Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus! But No Virginia, all trucks do not have “black boxes”, that’s just you being paranoid.

Greg there is another way of making that "proper judgment call" over having an EOBR or a computerized log system, maybe even better because you get instant quotes for load offers. We make bids and answer calls for rate quotes every weekday. We provide those quotes in seconds to a few moments...

So what about FMCSA mandating for (you) drivers to have an option, your choice of either electronic logs or paper logging? Greg you ought to be for it, with all the butt kissing government requires you to perform, why not have a little choice as to which butt cheek you kiss, left for...

For the trucks (BCOs as you refer) that qualifies for paper logbooks or electronic logs as a choice is wonderful. It shows a degree of trust by LandStar of their drivers that is quickly disappearing from the trucking industry. We intend to continue the use of logbooks for as long as possible...

A few O/O have moved recently to LandStar, are you satellite tracked, was satellite tracking optional, what are your cost if tracking was required? Are log books in use?

You’re kidding I hope. A market for anything and I mean anything can be developed by a seller at a price determined by the seller whether for services or goods. Cost points determined by the seller are based on the cost of providing or creating the goods based on necessary volume of units sold...

A bit of summarizing of your comments; ======= Quote from Rocketman Senior Member “The only thing you will realize out of the time spent in this business as a solo o/o will be the living provided during the time you were in the business” “very happy to not have the headaches” “very...

Well lets have a look at your negatives and see if there may be less negative than you might think. 1. Cash flow & accounts receivable… Cash flow for most will translate to operating cash. Most if not all senior posters on EO recommend ample soft or slow time moneys be available for when...

Dennis, you have the basic asset that defines a trucking company, your truck. What keeps, or has kept you from moving to the next level? My question as to the level of involvement in trucking you, or others have chosen, are not pretentious, just a bit of fact finding questioning. Aside from...

More value than just a truck… I want to press upon an aspect of asset value most expedite wanabees, newbies, o/o, fleet owners will never achieve in their trucking careers. That valuable asset is a salable trucking company. Clearly most expedite drivers do not have goals much beyond their...

Re: It’s my money and I want it now! Yes, the cumulative monies are (as with 100 trucks with monies escrowed) what makes the violation by carriers that do not pay the interest payment upon escrowed funds into a $Larger $Offense. A law firm could likely make a handsome return angled as a...
