If your ISP is AOL click on $ Quotes,type in FDX for the stock symbol and then highlight the press releases on the bottom.The total price for the company plus taking on American Freightways debt was $1.2 Billion. Nice piece of change.They say that they intend to try to complement Viking!s...

One thing you can do if possible is to make your way to Dallas TX this weekend for the Great American Truck Show.There should be plenty of licensing agents who can explain and assist (for a fee) the process of getting your own authority.Also stop by the Expediters On Line booth and Lawrence and...

To add to my previous post,I have a brother in law who is in chage of a small company in Paterson Ga that makes caps and hats.He called me today and said they had received a very slick brochure from www.urgentfreight.com outlining all that they do for expedited freight.The brochure stated that...

Log on to WWW Urgent freight.Com and you will see why Fedex freight is slow.This is a loadboard website operated by Fedex CC for shippers.Shippers can post loads and and other carriers than Fedex CC can bid on this load ,get the load and pay Fedex CC a percentage of the revenue,while those of...

Last month I was actually sitting at a shippers desk signing the BOL when he received a phone call from a dispatcher saying that they had lost me and another truck would be coming in to get the load.Even though I had sent the proper PU arrival message,they didn!t bother to look at it. The...

I have a similar truck and generally pay about $400 per year for about 90,000 miles around the country..I am regstered in OK

That excuse sounds like a typical BS reason to excuse you from the load.I don!t think they actually monitor you when you are available to see if you are moving around etc. The Qual Com unit goes from Quiet to Good when the ignition is on so that large fleets can determine if a driver is doing a...

Garry Lighten up,What you have down there in South FL is a bunch of whining transplanted New Yorkers who have complained about something as soon as they were able to talk.That ballot was endorsed by both parties,published in the newspaper and all registered voters had a sample ballot mailed to...

Gary,in your post you refer to the fact that several CEO!s make huge salaries etc.Neither the Republicans or Democrats have anything to do with that.Compensation of CEO!s is set by the board of directors who in turn are elected by the stockholders of said corporation.I am fortunate to own stocks...

RE: You want more? This whole area of abortion just gets me more poed every time I read or hear about it.In my area of the country and on the street that I live there are extremists on both sides of the issue.Face it, teenagers are going to have sexual relations.Since they have been old enough...

You know what this is fun,lets keep it going all weekend,the beauty of America is that we can all disagree without consequences. Debates and differences are actually what made this country strong and some one said many years ago "While I cannot agree with you I will defend to my death your right...

Well it!s Friday night,nothing on the idiot tube so why not keep this silly BS going,Gary your last post said only rich people vote Republican..It seems to me that quite a few people from the entertainment industry I.E. Hollywood give large contributions to the Democratic party and even pay to...

Well I!m not going to go any further with this topic,but one thing is that I can only take Rush L for about 4-5 minutes than the station is changed.I agree about Kosovo but why are we THE WORLDS POLICEMAN. The Europeans have a lot more at stake in that part of the world than we do. When I...

One other item since I am somewhat worked up LOL. How does a woman who was raised in Ilinois,live most of her adult life in Arkansaw and Washington DC,then decide she is a native of New York.It took her exploritory commitee a year to tell her that it!s OK to be a new Yorker.Why not run for the...

Gary way back on your first post you said at the end you wish Bill Clinton could run again. This is a draft dodger who insulted the country by lying to the American People,lying to his cabinet and VP,lying to his wife and daughter which created the first impeachment trial in over 100 years.He...

Landstar has several operating companies.The expediting company is called Landstar Express America.As the previous post said ,Getting your haz/mat endorsement would be a wise move..

There is another advantage for a shipper to use expedited freight vs ltl.In 99% of the time the shipment stays on the same truck for the whole trip thus minimizing damage and loss claims.We frequently haul very delicate and expensive cargo that the shippers don!t want beig slammed around on a...

If I were you I would stay away from CTX,they have a terrible reputation in the expedting business.I can only talk from hearsay but i have heard over and over that they are a very difficult company to work for.You might want to consider Tri State,Panther or Fedex CC.

1930 sounds good to me,by then the Jacksonville Jaguars will have lost to the Dallas Crackboys.

We used to stay out for about a month at a time.Now if we get within 400-500 miles we usually come home.No paricular pattern,a lot depends on where we are and how many trucks are already available in that area.
