    Our latest technology tool

    I noticed the same. But my guess is that it includes the load1 trucks that are loaded in that number just because it shows my position in line even when I'm loaded. I just checked and it shows my position in line even now when I have been oos for a few days. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    payload for 2500 promaster high roof extended?

    When I looked at the promaster a few years ago the extended length was not available on the 2500. I would have gone with the longer one even if it cost more. If you don't buy the longest van available you will be kicking yourself in the behind often in a few years. Been there done that. That...

    expediting in non cdl straight truck?

    The under CDL truck that I have seen out there(regular trucks with sleeper, not the ones with the sleeper in the box) can haul around 8k lbs. In my 33k lbs straight I can haul 12k but at that weight it gets difficult to balance the load so the rear axle is not overweight. So I am listed at 10k...

    Ho Ho Whooo its December!

    What are the parameters of '19' on the app? I notice that it does not corespond with the 19 on the Omnitracs. I assume that the app version of the 19 includes the trucks that are loaded also based on the fact that it shows more trucks available than there are truck icons on the map and it gives...

    Looking to buy a new van. Transit or Promaster

    Drove my sprinter in the mountains and anywhere else you can think of (no water though) and haven't managed to fry the turbo in 775k miles. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Believe me, I tried, but the guy unloading me didn't know anything. I was so disappointed. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    December Locations and X-mas cheers

    This morning I delivered 7 engines for the 2018 Sprinters to a testing place in Detroit area. I wish I could have taken a look at them, see what they were, maybe snap a few photos, but they were shipped in closed crates. Ugh. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Ho Ho Whooo its December!

    At first I thought my app was broken. Wouldn't show any load one vehicles of my size on the map. Then after frantically looking on the whole map I found one in ATL, one in Charlotte and 2 around Taylor. Maybe one or 2 more. Number one reason I switched to a straight.

    Warning Drivers please read this. RIP. Young Expediter.

    Very [emoji22]. Early in my expediting career I talked to a team in a sprinter. They had a generator mounted on the front of the van, in front of the grill. One night they almost didn't make it. They had the generator running and the wind was blowing CO into the van. He woke up to go to the...

    Those $50 add up pretty quickly. I choose to keep those in my pocket instead of giving them to the hotel owners.

    Another Expediting First

    Starman, we don't call others names if we disagree with them. This behavior is prohibited in the Code of Conduct that you agreed with when you signed on. Secondly, this industry used to be a lot more rewarding. Things like detention, layover, hand load/unload were more or less an automatic...

    The way forward

    I don't think you are an idiot. Maybe you need to look at other companies. I was with your company for a lot of years and I made good money. Eventually they changed some rules and I wasn't making money any more so I jumped ship.
