Yes, Rich, it did indeed take place in March of this year. Here's an addy to an article all about it: http://www.trucknews.com/Headlines/march1400/u14mergers.htm ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

LAST EDITED ON Sep-02-00 AT 03:14AM (EDT)[p]With interest rates on the rise, spending is down, buying is down and production is down. Also, the merger of The Super Six (JB Hunt, Covenant, MS Carriers, US Xpress, Swift and Werner), and their pursuit of the Just In Time market, has put a serious...

You're sure going to be missed!!! And you'd better tell the buyers of your truck that they'll probably have people knocking on their doors, looking for YOU! LOL Seriously, i wish you the best of luck, Chris -- i know you'll do WENDERFULLY at whatever job you do. And i sure hope Rich is right...

And THAT, my friends, is the reason we don't do Canada. Having lived in foreign countries (Japan; French Morocco, Africa; CALIFORNIA lol), i know only too well the repercussions of a simple misunderstanding... ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

i made it and got to meet Lawrence, Dan and Mitch! Dan & Lawrence demonstrated the new ExpediteLoads.com board -- what a FABULOUS tool for all of us! i'm hoping that it will just TAKE OFF, allowing us (all the expediters out here) to get truly independant! And with the acquistion of the...

Howdy, Psycho, and welcome to Expediters Online! As far as your question goes, the only suggestions i can make are these: i know that AutoQuick and CTX accept older vehicles, but i'm not real sure just how old. If you've dropped a new engine into the van, you need to let them know that IT...

Howdy, everyone! Well, after a GLORIOUS three weeks of Home Time, we are hitting the road again. Caught a load out of Laredo, TX and we're on our way to Claycomo, MO. Three guess what we're hauling -- LOL! (Ford parts.) i'll be checking these forums as often as possible, so please don't...

Jimmy, this sounds like the much sought after, seldom found, dedicated expediter job! And THREE nights per week at HOME??? Heaven! My advice: Talk to some of the other drivers for this company. They should be able to give you a clear picture of exactly what you can expect as far as...

Thanks, Jasper! This is good advice for ALL of us, and i really appreciate you posting it here! ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

Mark, please email me -- i have an email for you regarding this post that was sent to me by mistake. ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

We have an Onan/Aux generator that does all of the things you want it to. Our problem with this unit is that we do not go into Canada, and we've had problems with getting the unit serviced here in the US -- although it carries the Onan name, most Onan service centers will not work on it. The...

Wow! i've never heard of that, but the twin battery system, with the isolator, sounds like a really GOOD idea! And i don't think the beefed up suspension is going to hurt any, either! Please keep us posted if you do this deal -- i think a lot of the van drivers would be interested in your...

That's what we're here for, Dreamer! Hope things are going better for you now. ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

Bret is absolutely correct about the two ways to pay drivers. Something that should be pointed out is that with the "driver pays fuel and tolls" scenario, you put the responsibility and expense for idling onto the drivers. Something that i have never agreed with is the splitting of certain...

You can check out what other driver's have had to say about particular companies by doing a search using the company name. i posted advice to Toes in his "Need Info" thread below that should help you, also. ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

We use a Toshiba 325CDS that we bought from the Egghead auction site -- great place to buy, no worry about getting ripped off, excellent prices. We plan to replace it this Christmas, and we will probably begin looking at Best Buy -- the auction is great, lower prices, but where do you take it...

Michael, you can find a link to TriState, AND all the other expedited freight companies, by clicking on "Expedite Source" down at the bottom of the page, just left of "Advertise With Us" on the bar. Hope this helps! ********* Godspeed to all of you out there on the highways and byways!

Wow! If the truck is in good shape, that sounds like a great deal! Your payments should be pretty low, which means your Cost Per Mile will be lower than a person buying a brand new truck. Please do yourself a BIG favor -- take the truck to someone you trust to have it checked out. It's...

Awwwwwww! :-( Although i didn't always agree with Jim, you've got to admit, he was NEVER boring! On a more serious note, his expertise and veracity WILL be sorely missed! ********* Godspeed to YOU, Jim, out there on the highways and byways!

Congratulations, Toes -- i expect that you will be KEPT ON THEM! ;-) Also, welcome to Expediter's Online! Now, your questions: As Dreamer said, it would be a very unusual situation for you to have to load/unload, and if you did have to fingerprint your freight, you WOULD be paid a premium...
