Hey Goose - the best time of the year to check with companies is in the late spring or early summer when the business starts taking off into the busy season. If you are familiar with the freight cycle the busy times are better for placing a van. I wish you the best. Thanks - X "My Old Ride"...

Hey everybody, just testing out my new and improved image thanks to Lawrence. I think I probably still look more like my old avatar (the cookie monster) than this one. I'm trying a new look for the new year. Thanks to all - Scott "My Ride"...

This sounds like a pretty neat ride. Can you post some pictures of it? I'd love to see what kind of sleeper setup you've got here. Although it is not dock high it sounds like this vehicle may be able to handle some smaller straight truck freight. I'd really like some more details and pics...

The Express-1 policy is that we will assist you processing a broker load and pass it along to the truck at 62% of gross once the broker pays us. We do not recommend doing this as we have enough resources that we can usually help your bottom line a lot better by procuring freight through our...

I agree also folks. Lets keep our happy little website as happy as it used to be. All arguments should be directed to the new site designed just for that purpose, www.bickeringsixwheelers.com (at least it's a thought!!) Thanks - X PS - That is a fake website used for illustration purposes only...

Hey Gambler, great to hear from you. This is a common misconception among many in the transportation field. It does not matter how long ago something happened, what matters is that it DID happen. My answer comes directly from the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations - and it details the...

RE: Opps, bought a truck, then started asking curr Merkurfan, I would go through the yellow pages and try to find the contact numbers for any local air freight or courier companies in your area. Some smaller companies may also list themselves as a "cartage" or "transit" company in the...

Terry, I speak for all of us when I say that We're glad that little gadget works the way it is supposed to. This should lend a lot of weight to the old addage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Expediters need to be prepared for anything (just like the boy scouts) and your...

Hi Peachy - It's called "partnership for success" and it works like this: Partnership for Success Rules apply to Team Tractors and 22’-24’ Straight trucks only!!!! 1. Maximum monthly payout will be $1,500 per month. 2. Loaded team miles must equal at lease 7,000 per month. If less than...

I've got your EO app and I will be giving you a call shortly - Thanks, Scott

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Stranded - I can understand your concerns, but as I stated before I cannot go into specific details about these specific drivers due to confidentiality issues. I can however tell you that one of these drivers that supposedly was the first to...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric Hawk,(and everyone) the reason I made such a general statement is because of an individual being mad for a few moments, this post will be in the archives on this site for years. The statement that I made is for the clarification of history and...

RE: Sinking Fast-Need Advice Desperately! Glen Ric All of us have been around long enough to know that there are 2 sides to every story. My position within the company and my respect for contractor's confidentiality prevent me from fully presenting our side. I will say however, that things here...

Fair Enough!!!

Thanks for posting that link for us redytrk! this is something everyone should check out when they are thinking about signing on with a new company. The DOT number on your truck will determine a lot of times whether you get inspected at the scale house or get to cruise on through. Thanks to...

Soapy - it sounds like what you desire to do is more of an LTL type thing and not really expedited. Most Expedite loads are not booked more than 5 or 6 hours in advance - so there is really no time to plan on adding them to your route. An LTL carrier may have some dedicated type freight that can...

Hey FireGears - The rig that you are talking about is not traditionally what is used in the world of expedite - at least not by the bigger national companies. You may want to check your local area for any delivery or cartage companies in the phone book. A lot of these type companies are really...

Hey George - It took me a while on this one, but I had to do my research. The Source of this reply is from the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations - so here goes... In the eyes of the DOT, refusal to take an employers alcohol or drug screen is the same as an admission of guilt - and it as...

Gee Tennessee (I always wanted to say that...) I appreciate your positive comments and I will try to get you started in the right direction. 57 is definitely not too old to get started in expediting - it is fairly common for "more experienced" folks to jump in later in life. You can do well in a...

On the backside of my front door I have a little sign, it's the last thing I see as I leave the house. It says "It's only funny till somebody gets hurt....then it's hillarious". 'nuff said Happy Ramahanukwanzmas! - X (politically correct holiday greeting).
