More expediters should be thinking ( typ'in ) like investors. They are investors who are expediters. We invest in ourselves, our truck, equipment, carrier, and shippers. How well you tend to the details of your investment may determine your chance of survival. To often a new expediter jumps...

We picked up two pallets of water, on a Monday, in Louisville Ky, drove straight thru to San Diego city limits, then turned around and brought them right back, on Friday, to the shippers dock. Nice 4000+ mile run in 5 days. It was a test run to see if our reefer could keep temp thru the desert.

I'll just hit the road with the band. There's an APU to power up the amps, a DR unit to keep us warm or cool while we play. Make one side to open up like a canopy. I'll be the bigest juke box around.

Awww come on now be kind to IRT as he is my last friend still on EO. Ya all scared off my other buds. If you chase IRT out of here I'L, I'L,I'L go drown myself in the brown gravy in the buffet............hmmmmm ya know the stuff right next to those yummy lumpy mashed taters and that greasy...

Dm#@@#@ it, I just knew i was getting shafted. I get paid 60/40 when in reality some are on 65/40!!!!!!! Billionaire owners pocketing that extra 5%, the secret is out, fess up.

Never having meet Linda of TeamCaffee my opinions can only be drawn from the many posts I have read by her. I think Linda would be hard pressed to be negative about most things as she seems to be a rather caring indivdual who looks for the good in someone rather than point out the bad. I live...

This wheel's on fire by Bob Dylan

i .......... T ........ it.

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like an ex-Fedex scorned."

Would that make em "thread lizzards"?

davekc, I am not sure if this is an answer to my question, "Oh, someone please clarify how the load opportunity used by Fedex is so different than the shipper using a load board to post the job for bid?" or something I may have missed in this thread. To clarify what I am asking about is this...

This is a funny post. Some complain about low paying freight. Some complain about others coping and being well prepared to handle these tough times. Some complain about rules and regulations they are wondering if they have to follow. I am splitting a gut at ya all. Poor baby has bills to...

As for the battery issue, on our unit with the battery for the reefer inside the passenger door steps, we have a cut-off switch. It is located on the outside of the steps. Flip it and the power is cut to the entire system. Even the control box wont light up. Cavs 90 Det 80.....in Detroit.

Golly that is along time ago. I thought i would never foreget it, let me think. Old age is hades........I give up its unforegettable. Yeah thats the ticket "Unforegettable" by Mr Cole himself, circa 1952

hey pjjjjj, include me if you would like. thanx, dave

Well I guess I keep the jumper cables hanging inside the cab that are attached to the battery. Thought I was going to be able to retire them. Thanx for the info.

I can sympathize with your plight, only in as much as I hate to see anyone not make it in any business venture. Some have the ability some dont. This isnt to say you cant yet be successful in expeditng, it will take some changes on YOUR behalf. You are in business for yourself. Take on the...

We just got back on duty today since taking off b4 Christmas. Sat on Monday but got a run from Pittsburgh to Winterhaven pu Tues drop Wed. From 7 to 70 in one day. Cant be good for my system. Oh the things I endure for this industry.

Linda and I drive one of Tims DR units. We received the shocking information Christmas eve in a phone call from Pat. Tim was the owner who took the time and cared most about us as we were looking into expediting. A true gentleman, who while being a honest business man was foremost, a good...

I read that someone asked who was our last great president or leader. While we all have opinions on this and certainly favorites, the real determination is time. So many of the policies enacted often dont really bear fruit until years after a Presidents term is over. Here is an...
