Need I say more?

I'm not going to address the Conway issue because I'm not a representative of any of the parties involved. I will, however, do my best to let you know about the current fuel surcharge situation. I could give a long spiel and a dozen formulas to figure out fuel surcharge but it is pretty much...

All the companies that advertise on this site have some form of opportunity to drive for a fleet owner. Some homework and phone calls will yield the results that you are looking for. Best of luck, Scott

Ever since I heard that we were going to have a sports forum on here it has been difficult to control myself. What makes it even better is the timing is perfect for NCAA football. And even better than that, Notre Dame Football. The Magic is back. We have a smart, disaciplined, mean, and just...

I am among those that has been waiting for this one!!! This is going to be a lot of fun. Great addition to the forums, and to the mod squad as well. Hawk will be great in here. Scott

RE: Every company wants teams,what about a solo dr Don't get mad so quickly (patience will make or break you as an expediter). There are plenty of opportunities for a solo driver and/or Owner Operator in this business. Those opportunities can only be found by doing your research and making your...

JoDon, Living in Texas just means that you'll spend more time living out of your vehicle while operating in and around the midwest. Expediting does have loads going into and out of Texas, but not with the same frequency as the Midwest area. If you can stay on the road until the freight takes...

Thanks Jay, it was nice to meet you as well. Tom is the man heading up our lease purchase program. I'm here in Buchanan, and Tom is based out of our Toledo facility so I'll direct you straight to the source. He should be able to provide you the information you are searching for. His contact...

It also reflects on an applicants respect for authority and attention to detail. In a nutshell it shows that an individual will not do what they are asked to do whenever they don't feel like doing it. (Even after they have been reprimanded). Responsibility in a few small things leads to greater...

Sweet Talker, welcome back to the world of expediting. Several companies have options regarding the lease purchase of straight trucks, but none on cargo vans that I am aware of. Keep a close eye on the EO classifieds and you may find an O/O that is willing to swing such a deal on their own...

TV, The best way to get the information that you are looking for is to contact the OPERATIONS departments at the various carriers that are sponsors on this site. I can advise however, that most partner arrangements are between companies that can provide track and trace and 24 hour updates as...

What I am looking forward to the most is just getting to hang out with John Mueller for a couple of days! -Scott

That's a good question Keith, and I'm sure that this will shed a little light on the situation for you. CV's can get away without a sleeper because their Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is under 10,000 pounds. That means that they are not subject to the DOT's hours of service (HOS) regulations. If...

Toes, I have forwarded your information to the Gentleman that manages that program for us. Thanks, Scott

Phil, Expediting is a vocation that requires a full time commitment 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Expediting part time, at least under the authority of a major carrier, is not feasible. Expedite freight happens at all hours of the day. Putting ANY kind of restrictions on your...

A window that will open and has a screen in it is AWESOME in a sleeper. If you get one on each side of your bunk (head / foot) you can get a cool breeze blowing across you to sleep (provided it's not 90 degrees plus outside). You can sleep like a baby without idling OR running a generator. You...

Once again, I can speak only for Express-1, but a DUI must be at least 10 years old (and the driver must have a SQUEAKY clean record since the infraction) before we can even request a waiver from our insurance company to bring that individual into our fleet. DUI's hang around for a long time...

Reckless driving will take you out of the picture for 3 years from the date of the charge. Straight from the Insurance company to you. - Scott

They kind of take me back to 1991-2 time frame. It looks like everything old is new again. "Retro" could be the new rage in expediter trucks. (NOT)
