    Howdy everyone! Sorry i haven't been around much lately -- been doing a MAJOR 'Spring Cleaning' of my folks house, getting our stuff into some semblance of order, Christmas shopping, getting Christmas cards into the mail, visiting lawyers, and getting myself onto a regular TV watching schedule...

    Whats the difference ?

    LAST EDITED ON Oct-30-00 AT 11:52PM (EDT)[p]As i understand it, the Hot Shots are usually 24 - 48 foot flatbed trailers pulled by a pickup truck or light duty tractor -- the one's we've all seen are the car haulers. i'm not real sure about the time sensitivity of the freight hauled by these...

    PNV.NET SOLUTION

    i could be wrong -- i'll be checking, later -- but isn't this strictly for DOWNloads? In order to UPload (connect your computer to the internet), you'll still need some sort of phone connection. i personally believe it's a conspiracy on the part of PNV to keep us down! ;-) ********* Godspeed...

    It's Back -- Sunday "Fireside" Chat

    FedUp w/ FedEx

    We went through the same things you did -- with an arrogant contractor coordinator thrown in for good measure! We went through practically ALL of the larger companies, before finally settling down into a good situation with a small company of 44 trucks, all D Units. The only way a D Unit can...

    Have Questions On Expediting

    We run for a smaller company right now, and they don't haul any HazMat. We used to run for LEA, and they leave it up to you whether you want to haul HazMat, or not. Unless you plan to drive a van, you are going to need some sort of CDL -- Class A for the D Units; Class B for the C Units. In...

    Number of days on the Road

    We try to do a 7 weeks out, 1 week home; then, 6 weeks out, 2 weeks home routine. This last time, however, we stayed out for just over 3 months. Our company doesn't have a lot of freight into or out of Texas, so home time equals major deadhead, both in and out, for us. ********* Godspeed to...

    Fedex CC Load Board

    i've been thinking a lot about the changing face of expediting, and have wondered when some company is going to get the idea to buy up all the repo'ed trucks at pennies on the dollar, put company drivers in them, and drop rates through the floor in an effort to destroy the competition. The fact...
