AGAIN, well said! Apparently us expediters have a lot more sense than the super truckers!

WELL SAID! WELL SAID! Jumbuck

We were coming home from Lansing the other night and the roads were greased ice. I mean it was slippery and we were empty. I was puckered up doing 40 mph! Even other cars were going slow in this snow! (Which is unusual as seeing 2 unicorns mate)! Now, here comes all and I do mean all the big...

Thanks, that was the answer I can understand!

Now Wait Just A Ding-Dong Minute! I thought (and read on this forum) that Laredo, TX was a place to avoid like the plaque! Now all of a sudden, you guys are tripping over each other to go there! Remember, I am a Newbie and watch everything you guys do for guidance and inspiration, so, as usual...

That's what I thought, too!

Thank you, sir. Thats the way I saw it. If their check cashes I really don't care if they work out of a drafty barn! Thanks, Jumbuck!

I was told by another expediter driver that the company I run for was "just a Broker" and not a carrier! He actually had a sneer on his face. Is there anything detrimental about being a broker (and working from a shoestring) as opposed to a regular carrier? Thanks Jumbuck

Hi. Could someone please explain to me the difference between a Expediting "carrier" and a "broker?" Not sure what the difference is. Thank you for help. Jumbuck:confused:

Maybe NOT being around "other" kids could be a "good" thing.

Sorry to hear about your accident. I'm glad your wife was not hurt. I'm not exactly sure about van requirements. It really would be best to call them and ask what they are. I would hate to steer you wrong. Again, ask for Michele or Rob. Good luck.:)

Hi Big John: Welcome to the wonderful world of expediting! If you have a cargo van or sprinter you cannot do better than On-Dekk Transportation! Call 1-734-672-7159 and ask for Michele or Rob! Tell them Ron and Deb send 'ya! You'll be glad you did!:D Here is a list of their working terms: 1...

People! I will be the FIRST to badmouth the people who work in the "SHOP" I have been treated like a dog while trying to make deliveries to the big 3 and I was as UNION as they were! I was an outside driver for 34 years and I could tell you horror stories that would make your hair curl. It is a...

What a great post! Okay...here's my 2 cents! I am happy with 2011 because we discovered expediting! One thing different: Would NOT DH home as much. Most exciting thing: See the Mexican/Arizona border and getting drug sniffed. Worst moment: Thinking I had another whole day to deliver load so we...

Do you mean that there is no worries, mate? As I said, I've never done it so I didn't know what it would be like...I guess I'm just dumb!!

Thanks for great info: Now if I can ask...what is a deep cycle battery and what is a battery isolator and where might we get one? Thanks so much....

Thanks SO much!!!!! My wife will be OVERJOYED to find this out!

Well, I sure know something about being a newbie and I run with my wife of 38 years so maybe I can help. (I can't beleive I'm actually helping someone). Anyway, we broke into expediting 8 months ago with a friend's sprinter van and we absolutley LOVE IT! Now be aware that we are both retired...

I was curious about this: NOT trying to be cute or funny but do truck stops allow married couples to shower together? It seems to me this would drastically cut down on cost of a shower and it would make the ladies feel a whole lot safer, depending on the mood of the husband, maybe not...

Well Phooey! THAT doesn't sound good. I think I will heed all the excellent advice and concentrate on working exclusivley with On-Dekk! Thanks for all your research, friends, I really do appreciate it. Jumbuck
