some companies require plywood to cover the floor to allow 2x4s to be nailed into the floor. this always seemed ludicrous to me. neither do i like holding the load ONLY from the sides of the van,you cannot tighten the load enough. its true that 48" clearence in the rear door opening of at...

A reaccuring theme of posts has to do with issues like deading, time sitting empty, load acceptance, in service availability and time at home. all these issues are an integral part of the expediting life and each o/o has his or her own standards.A recent post referencing expediting as a hobby...

In reply to your SOS: Let me get this straight, you can work 36 hours for 40 hours pay($600.00)then you can work all the overtime you want? Lets say you choose to work a modest 14 hours overtime,($315.00).This gives you a total gross of $915.00 for the week of 50 hours. I would have to say that...

It seems that a hot topic lately is the sig line idea.All members who post should announce their "time in service" and credentials as a means to judge their credability. This additional formatting to a posting was suggested with the best interests of the members of this forum in mind.Most of all...

Is it just me or do others miss the good ole days before "locked threads"? At one time when you browsed through the forums, it was much different. At worst a posting might be admonished for inappropriate language, or the sometimes overzealous criticism of a carrier for perceived wrongs, against...

I REALIZE THIS CANADIAN FORUM IS A NEW ADDITION, BUT ALREADY I SEE A GREAT AMOUNT OF INCORRECT INFORMATION. I HOPE THE NEWBIE MODERATOR WILL QUICKLY ADDRESS THIS SITUATION. TIM HORTONS IS NOT THE BEST COFFEE, BECAUSE THAT TITLE IS OWNED HANDS DOWN BY DUNKIN DONUTS!!! GO EAST COAST RUNS, DD...

YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT A LOAD PAYS UNTIL SETTLEMENT CHECK ARRIVES, ONE PERSON DISPATCH, LOADS ALWAYS PAY LESS THAN 80 CENTS A MILE WITH THE FUEL SURCHARGE INCLUDED, EXTREMELY LONG DH, MANY TIMES OVER 200 MILES, YOU PAY ALL INSURANCE,VANS ARE TOTALLY UNMARKED SO YOU MUST DENY EXPEDITING IF YOU...

try refusing a load with jung and see what happens. good luck!

I'am sure the straight trucks are moving better. Just as with all the other companies,the larger trucks are driving around with B frieght and crowing how busy they are. The expediting industry is truly an example of wasted resources!

Who cares if Fedex advertises on EO. More to the point, they are up to their old tricks. Just when business levels allow contractors to make more money then the neighbor kid at McDonalds, Fedex announces to their contractors they will start today aggrssively recruiting. Watch your local truck...

the administrators of EO lament the fact that some people using this site do not actively participate, and choose instead to "lurk in the shadows " not willing to commit to print some profound wisdom. I fail to see how censorship based on the worthiness of content of a given article,will...

Hey DooWop, Express center worth will vary in the "eye of the beholder" , but many factors enter in, not the least of which is the outfit that you expedite for. Things like places to hang out, road configuration, direction of frieght travel ,and just plain dumb luck in an area are some things...

I'am going on my third year with fedex in a B unit. I've talked with many landstar drivers and most are very happy. For the last 6 months i've been on a "waiting list" to get on with Landstar. They keep saying that there are enough vans in my area. Cleveland. It must be that they can't find...

Where is everyone? Most have quit expediting in the manner in which it was done for the last decade. Many are retiries who take a load when they want to get out of the house. Some take loads in between working a part time job to make ends meet.Others have just given up. But many have found a...

what compensation or package deal are you looking for to drive? are you interested in a b-c-d-or e truck? have you ever driven expedited loads?

Discounted freight?, better get used to it. Alot of competition with diminishing loads is the present day plight of expediting. FDCC will tell you that there are many waiting in line for a chance to expedite,( an unfortunate departure from their "we're family " attitude as Roberts...
