After not posting that much the last few weeks and just reading things posted on this site. I must say that banning people is not a win/win for EO members. Banning someone for what they say just because you may not agree with it shouldn't happen. Yes the post can be removed as about 18 of mine...

The FSC needs to be higher and the rates do too. Everything else is going up but rates. The higher cost in fuel makes everything go up in price. This is what put the USA in a tail spin with people losing jobs. Mark my words, fuel keeps going up things are going to get bad again. People are not...

I agree Phil. FedEx Custom Critical is a good company I was leased to them for fourteen years. I know we never had a problem getting paid, we was treated fairly until the end. I still have FedEx Custom Critical and Roberts Express pictures and toy trucks in our office. We changed carriers...

Just put your tag in the window on the passenger side of your truck along with a sign that say "not for Hire". That way the folks in the scalehouse can see everything. I have done this many times with no problems.

Steve the discount at the TA isn't worth buying fuel there anymore. We have went to using the Flying J now that they take Com data. We have only been getting like .04 cent off at TA lately but the fuel is higher than the other truck stops. Why buy fuel .10 higher than everyone else and only get...

John If you make a music video in your DI get up singing "Six days on the Road" , then post it on EO and Youtube. I will donate $500.00 to help fight breast cancer. Anyone else want to donate to help fight breast cancer? Now you got to be in a truck singing then backing the truck in the...

Expediters Online members. I would like to apologize for my actions on Expediters Online the last few weeks. Expediters Online is a GREAT site and has some great members. I would like to apologize to Greg and Turtle for saying mean things to them in a few post's. I also would like to...

Barn door are better in the long run if you ask me. Had a truck that had a roll up door the rolls would go bad or the spring would break. When that happens you better be strong that way you can lift the door.

Phil I think Dan Schutz sold just as many and maybe more. Dan is by far the best truck builder I ever dealt with. Not to knock Dan Jones, just never dealt with him. But good post and thanks for the info Phil.

Good point Phil. All of our trucks run team also. Now what would be nice is, if they let the teams do five and five again. That means you have a fresh driver every five hours.

You did book your rooms early John?

With thinking like that Expedite Carriers are leaving a lot of business on the table. One good example is a company out of Cleveland, Ohio who does over nine million dollars a year. Bonnie Speed is their name, most of the business they do is freight less than 50lbs. They even have guys that...

Don't worrie Steve voting for the EHOF will be fair to everyone. It won't be a popularity contest, It's about what someone has done in this business to help change it for the better.

I agree Dale, we have sent out e-mails to people that we feel would be fair to the cause. These folks don't even know who else is voting on the ballots for this years EHOF. These folks are a group of our peers that have been in the Expediting Business over 5 years or more. Everyone has until...

It will be that way Eddie. I don't care if someone has 1 million posts, they still only would get one vote. It will be fair.

Greg People can send a copy of their CDL with all the info removed or blacked out. We just need the photo and address part of their CDL. Most states now don't even put your ssn on your cdl anymore, I know Ohio don't.

My family has been in trucking almost 100 years. I'm a fourth generation driver. My Father was in the business over 35 years. I learned a lot from him and my uncles. My grandmother had nine kids and eight of the nine was a driver at one one in their life.

The Expediters Hall of Fame will be putting two or three more people in the Expediter Hall of Fame this year at the 2011 Expedite Expo. You can go to the guestbook at expeditershalloffame.com and post who you feel belongs in the EHOF and why. We will be asking a group of people this year to vote...

Jeff Jensen isn't going into the Expediters Hall of Fame based on how many posts he had on EO or how much everyone liked Jeff. We all loved Jeff to death because Jeff was a great person, a great man, and a GREAT friend. Jeff will be put in the Expediters Hall of Fame based on what he did over...

Well, that is marketing Greg. Yes I would love that, but that takes away from the people we are trying to honor. This is bigger than you, me, or anyone with 100,000 post on EO. It's not about me or you Greg. It's about the people that has made a positive change in the Expediting Business over...
