    intro and industry questions

    Being that you're a former OTR driver, I would like to make one problem you guys face. The few OTR drivers I've talked to were used to constantly moving. That's not the case in expediting. There's alot more sitting... sometimes days. I just hope you're not expecting to jump into a truck and...

    The Magic Words....

    Scott, one thing I would like to see is this... My driver got a call the other day asking if he'd like to go to Arizona. Of course he said yes. So the dispatcher told him he was working on it. Well, there was never a return call saying we were outbid. He spent a few hours waiting for a return...

    Now I'm not sure if expediting is the way to go.

    RE: Now I'm not sure if expediting is the way to g Hmmm... since you are both business owners, I would think you've "taken your business elsewhere", or "couldn't use them anymore", "you're finding someone who can fill your expediting needs better." Kinda reminds me of something: 'E's not...

    How long do you wait before switching companys??

    RE: How long do you wait before switching companys I know... what's another month? You could wait and switch over in the middle of the low period and not know if it's better than your current company or not. Or, you could go to this new company and get an idea of what to expect when freight...

    How long do you wait before switching companys??

    RE: How long do you wait before switching companys He's not saying he had a rough week... he had a rough first month. I believe if a company has a problem giving their newbies some miles in the first month, you can see worse later on. I understand it's slower in December, but he is talking...

    Canada Bush wins - Hooray for Canada!

    Lawrence, did you see Bush's speech in Halifax the other day? He was bold enough to quote Mackenzie King. Even the stick-in-the-muds on The National gave him kudos. He and Martin have come a long way in repairing the damage Chretien caused. I still wonder why Canada has a negative view of...

    Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to you?

    RE: Has a Dispatcher ever said anything rude to yo Redytrk... what I read was a threat that if Sharp plays by the rules, he'd get his INCOME taken away. That, in my opinion, IS an A**hole!!! It is dispatchers with that attitude that are the reason most dispatching areas have plexiglass around...

    WiFi at Truckstop.Net

    Redytrk, I have absolutely no probs with Sprint phone service. Not to mention that I've heard from many ppl (and experienced it) that they have the best range out there. I can't say alot about FlyingJ's wifi either. I'm thinking of going with sprint for their wifi and be done with looking for a...

    Well... I turned down a truck, so I'm working on financing one that costs alot less. I'll find out Monday. <crossing fingers> As far as the company, Express-1 gave me the go ahead only because I've been with them. I had to get permission from the head dispatcher, believe it or not :7 I think...

    Canada Bush wins - Hooray for Canada!

    That was an excellent article, Lawrence. Most Canadians, including my inlaws, don't give a rat's behind about how credible a candidate is in our country, they just want someone more liberal. Well, little do they know that since we've had a Republic president in office, their money has gotten...

    Looking for A New Job

    You could try Epes as a company. They're located down by you in Morristown, TN. They might have company trucks.

    Eyes Wide Open

    I don't see how anyone can call this guy an owner/operator when he's not operating. Everyone is right though... if you have that much patience, you're half way to becoming a successful expediter. Personally, I couldn't stand driving with someone who's yearning for his next swill of grog :(...
