I do remeber your post from last year,and I'm very pleased to hear that you have gotten some degree of justice.It really fries me when I hear stories like this one.It's why I think in this little industry of poorly financed Mom and Pop type operations contracts are a joke.Nobody pays any...

Greg,it's interesting you mention the country may go through 6 or 7 years of brown matter in the near future.WHAT ABOUT THE LAST 6 OT 7 YEARS!! It would be virtually impossable for the next President to be any worse,under any set of circumstances.I mean honestly,how can you make such a mistaken...

Head of the class Diva!It's a classic for all time,and certainly appropriate for the current Republican who's billed as"Leader of the Free World'(sic)

Ask Rummy and Brownie and Georgie AND Condie and,well,you get my point.Invading a sovern country then destroying the infrastructure, killing men women and children(coladeral casualties).Thousands displaced from thier home.You get my point?Creating the perfect hornets nest for terrorists from...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmen!When the going gets tough the slime rise's to the top. I love it here sooooooo much!!!Paticularly around primary time,then election time then DEFEAT time!!!!! Roll out the mud boys,it's slingin' time again.And there ain't no mud like good old red white and blue mud,I must...

The west is a bit flat on expediting per se.FEDEX Supply Chain has dedicated reefer work out of Reno(Phiser)but it only pays so so.You can make a living,but lots of dead head.Other then that,there are dedicaterd big truck runs of food and service items that run north south,but again the money...

In other words,details like business levels and realistic projections for the industry(21 years in,she knows plenty)are just not that important.You know,it's the same thing recruiters for this company are told to say,"keep the details to a minimum,stress the generalities and be sure to wear...

I'm interested in others response to the interview with the current CEO of FECC that appears on this weeks home page. It seems the current CEO ansewers questions in the very same fashion that the former CEO answered similar questions."The futures so bright your going to need shades".Not much...

Since I never held pay,and have strong feelings about owners that do hold pay,it was all the more frustrating to me when the turcks came back dirty as I had no recourse. Drivers stayed with me a long time becasue there were never issues about money.When freight was running hot we all made...

Great post my friend!As a fleet owner for 7 years I'm proud of the relationships I have with 90% of the drivers that worked for me.I get baby pictures,invites to weddings,Christmas cards and emails daily. More then half the teams bought their own trucks and are doing well,and others bought land...

Thanks Ark,you know what I'm talking about.Did not meant to offend anyone,it's just the old"it's not mine,so who cares"attitude.

I paid 100% of ALL repairs.Each and everyone and never questioned beyond normal inquirees.If it was something that could wait until the next settlement,I would ask.If not,get it fixed. And yes,unfortunatly people who I thought to be neat and clean(and always looked neat and clean)left my trucks...

You all have an open invitation from me and always have.So far only Phil and Diane have taken me up on it.I love my home and love to share it.Hope to see you here sometime OVM.(I do get a little defensive on line,pay no attention)

The true test of the integrity of drivers is the condition the trucks wnen they are turned in.Insisting on getting repairs as needed to keep the trucks rolling is the job of the drivers.I encouage you to do that,as you should.It's all the other things that even good drivers DON'T take care of...

I get it,because I'm from California,which is the brunt of every generality imaginable,it's just"good fun"to attack with baseless kaka like the owl bit.I get the humor,but apparenlty Ontario is sacred ground?I love Canada(best fishing in the world on Great Slave Lake outide Yellowknife)it's just...

Hey OTVM,your the reason we have bumber stickers that say "Welcome to California now go home"!If I were from Ontario(thank God I'm not) I would probably say something just as silly as you have.I've been there and between the bugs in the summer and the ugly winters,and the rude people(speak...

You know Leo,you remind me of a fellow who got into expediting the same time I did.We did everything the same,and stayed in contact regularly for seven years.I would warn him about drivers I let go,and he would do the same for me.We each bought or built trucks at roughly the same time.We...

RE: An Economic and Trucking Slowdown is Happening Gee,is this suppose to be new news,or am I missing something here?Not to be a naysayer,but I believe this freight slow down should not be much of a surprise.It's been going on for 18 months or longer. It's funny how this thread so quickly went...

Believe it or not,there is life after expediting,in fact there is a good life full of prosperity and a sense of relief.Job well done and your right,there is no experience that you can compare to your life on the road.As an ex expediter myself,get through this time and spread your wings and sore...

Charlotte,I did everything you do fo 6 years for the same reasons you do it now.I had many teams stay with me for over 2 years,in some cases 3 years.Treat them like the hardworking people they are and with respect and they stick around(until they can buy their own truck)which I applaud them for...
