    FedEc trucks be careful going through Arkansas!!!

    I detect a clue, a possible break in the case...could it be a conspiracy? Could some unknown person in a TRI-STATE truck planted the FEDEX box? I think I'll call Crime-Stoppers! I am sure they would like to hear how TRI-STATE is trying to take out FEDEX so they can have a bigger piece of the...

    trucks let go from fleet

    It is an annual thing, I was told this by my recruiter even before I signed on. They release the bottom performers and I think this is good. It helps keep the fleet (and our reputation) strong. Just as in any pro-sports, you cut those they don't help the team. No supprise here and next year and...

    why are owners so crooked

    Sounds like a business opportunity! A DAC on owners! Its easy for companies to check on us...someone (or perhaps EO) needs to start a clearing house for drivers to check on owners. Using the federal guidelines for disclosure as in criminal and credit reports, EO can provide a great service to...

    why are owners so crooked

    This is a tough area for Carriers also. Our first experience was an owner who micro managed, didn't follow their own contract and were generally pathetic. The wife called me one time and said, "on runs that you could have done solo, we are going to pay you 20.%" My response was "no problem as...

    The annual culling of the fleet is generally cutting the bottom performers. This makes good business sense if you you want to remain strong. Why keep the habitual "service failure" specialist or the ones that come up with excuses and not results? I never heard of a specific amount of management...

    GOT2GO, perhaps you can contact the moderator and allow an edit of the specific carrier. We didn't see it as a complaint either and thought you presented useful information. But for the benefit of the readers, an edited version might be better than none at all.

    Fedex CC. O/O I Need Your Advice

    Lots of good deals on Reefer Units as well as dry units...might want to consider why. We can buy a good truck for a fraction of what we paid for ours a year ago because the business has slowed significantly. Our income is expected to be way down this year and we have planned for the down turn...

    Where's A-Team-anyone seen Phil?

    Thanks for the quick response TEAM. When I came across his other writings and learned of his involvement with EO it just seemed someone in that position would have been more diplomatic and less confrontational...anyways his contributions are mostly appreciated as we continue our trek in this...

    Confused

    I believe that working for so little money as in Turtle's example has evolved from too many people who were led to believe that this was easy money. Visions created by comments implying that you can be a millionaire as an expediter and much literary excrement about how fun it is etc., has...

    How picky are vans?

    Not just Vans... Situation 1 I would take the load because I live in Florida. Situation 2 depends on the time line from negotiating the price to the call back. I had one friend that agreed on a load at 1.50 and 6 hrs later the carrier accepted. They told their carrier that they would not accept...

    Hino Nightmare

    My wife and I drove a new Hino 338 for a fleet owner for 6 months. In that time It broke down 4 times with Hino never finding out what was really wrong. Even when the check engine light came on and they finally got to it several days later, they said no warranty because there wasn't any...
