i hope that the reason that this board has been sort of dead this past week is because all of you have running your wheels off! How has the week been for you? Is freight moving at the speed of FL70's? :D For myself, it's been very quiet -- we're at home, resting and relaxing, and taking care...

Howdy, Wood, and welcome to Expediter's Online! i'm not sure how much help i can be to you on this question, but i'll give it my best -- i don't know of any companies that run their own trucks. Most of the Expedited Freight companies lease the trucks from owners, who can be just owners, or...

Howdy, Sandra! Welcome to the Newbies Paradise! My husband and i have checked into various health insurances and have found that UniCare seems to be the best choice for us. There are 3 good co-pay options available, as well as an annual deductible option, and the price is right. You can use...

Howdy, Brian! Sorry it's taken me so long to post back to you, but there were some problems with posting, then i got real busy and just didn't have the time. Please forgive me! My husband and i started out by driving for an owner. He paid us 55% of the gross to the truck, with us paying for...

GoBlue, The Hound is absolutely correct -- we started out with Roberts, but couldn't take the their micro-management style of our business; we switched to Panther II, and were horrified to find out they were holding $2550, along with three to four weeks of pay; we tried LandStar Express America...

Actually, TroadGirl, i've been in Expediting, and posting on this and Joe Roman's Forums, for the past year and a half. During that time, we've earned good money (best week, $7500), and we've teetered on the brink of bankruptcy. Then we got wise and signed on with a company that pays us 75%...

You know, over on Joe Roman's Forum, every once in a while we would get someone like you posting about how they took EVERY load offered to them, regardless of revenue, deadhead, and layover area. Most of them didn't have the vaguest idea what their Cost Per Mile was, and were just basically...
