    Looking For Volunteers

    I am as sick as the next guy when a newbie or an inexperienced expediter is given wrong information, or as some may say, ‘FLUFF’ up the numbers or paint a rosier picture than the norm. Or at least the norm through the eyes of those of us who have been doing this expedite thing for many years...

    Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS $60 at Off

    RE: Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 with GPS $60 at Thanks for the tip about the $60 price tag, but as 'D' said go after the sure thing. OD uses this as a marketing tool, they put 2 or 3 on the site if any and when the consumer tries to buy the under priced item they get the 'out of stock'...

    Are you prepared?

    To add to Terry’s post! Some drivers learn the rule of thumb, "Follow two car lengths behind for every 10 miles per hour." Others learn, "Stay two seconds behind the car ahead." Some driver's manuals give data on the distance cars or trucks travel before they are able to come to a complete...

    Hello Panther II

    Terry Ditto to what Greg said. There is a law, a federal law, a carrier must pay a driver for the delivery of a load within 15 days, not the 14 you stated. Someone may want to cut your head off for that one day, mistake. Bob Seams to me this company loves to hold onto your money! If my...

    Rolling into a hot period.

    When I ran the road I judged when and how I went home. If this scenario would happen to me, I too would stay out depending upon the date. What I mean by date is if it was my wife’s or one of the kids birthday, Mothers day, Easter, Christmas, or some other major holiday, no freight or money...

    all-types

    From what I've read and heard from others who drove for them is how insurance is costing the drivers more than with the other companies. How they hold your pay or escrow, and cheat drivers out of miles driven. There are many, and most members who worked for them in the past only posted so other...

    RE: All - Types Expediting & Transportation Servic Maybe the FEDS are waiting to give them an Xmas gift? Problem with companies that rip off the drivers, and get away with it, is because the drivers or people who are getting ripped off aren't reporting it to the right agencies. Hope to see...

    RV TRANSPORTING

    Maybe I'm wrong, but don't most RV-haulers deadhead back in hopes of finding another load? Of all the RV-haulers I've meet driving the pick up truck with a fifth wheel, are either blind (putting it mildly) or don't know an better. From those RV haulers I met, 95% of them couldn't do expedite...

    Kinda peeved at panther2

    My thoughts exactly! Weren’t you the same guy that was bragging about running his butt off, and being cocky too? Didn't everyone mention the honeymoon, and forewarn you this very thing was going to happen. Like T said, welcome to the jungle. On a more serious note, (even if it pisses...
