There's someone who watched one too many episodes of Dukes of Hazzard.

Actually still sitting in the office at this hour, waiting on a driver who wanted to stop by and pick some paperwork up.

That's not the issue. I'm getting plenty of bids. Just that everyone is quote shopping and it seems that very rarely am I dealing with anyone who just plain has a load, or if someone has a load they're shopping the daylights out of it and looking at LTL and cargo plane options.

Still sitting at my desk, wondering if I'm into detention time or not.

Congrats. Anyway, was I the first person who saw the thread title and thought of the pilot in Flyboys who was calling them knights of the air?

I've posted...I lost count how many I've posted...and I haven't booked one of them all day. People are either shopping stuff around like crazy or just fishing for quotes, but you'd think the numbers would swing in my favor sooner or later. The funny thing is that every time I post a load it's...

My plan is to have at least one person on each shift trained and certified on the forklift.

Ha ha. Place in Fairfield has one for a reasonable price. I'm going to look at it next week. It's ten years old.

I'll let you know when I get the forklift. Should be sometime next week.

For one, I try not to form my opinion of a carrier on what I hear from a couple drivers at a truck stop. A guy can be having a down week for whatever reasons and it's his company's fault or his dispatcher's fault. We've had a couple drivers quit because we weren't a good fit for them and we...

When you have that many trucks you're going to have a bad apple here or there, and a couple of those can have an effect on your score. If you have a couple guys who get hit for silly form and manner stuff that can add up and give you a bad score on HOS. Then the whole thing with warnings still...

Before I started my company I drove for them for a few months. They were ok back then. If you're staying in a van I'd research carefully. We're not even looking at vans right now. We'd rather run our straights and broker out van loads when we get them.

I feel that I was safer driving a Sprinter and napping when my body needed to rather than when I was in a straight and could only sleep when the log told me to. I can't count the number of times I was on a load with enough cushion time to take a nap but couldn't because I couldn't "legally"...

Or avoiding Detroit?

Do you know the password and the secret handshake?

Well, I have a very white collar background before I got in this business......and my wife is in the office next to mine.

We're definitely going to generate as much money as we can from the warehouse. I'm hoping to have a forklift in a week or two.

1500 square foot office and 2000 square foot warehouse with one truck dock.

I've enjoyed working from home, but the time has come to move on. Starting in the new space tomorrow morning with three people, dispatchers to move in when the cubicles are installed in a couple weeks. Anyway, my little corner office isn't bad. [/URL]

Re: What companies are taking private for hire cargo van with proper commercial insur I think he's talking about the multi carrier thing. If a company allows that, look for a different company.
