Grand Rapids is a excellent area for expediting.All of the companies you mentioned are major players up there.Probably Tri State or Panther mught be best for you in Michigan,if and when you investigate make sure that you will get a Michigan Intra-state permit,which will allow you to run within...

WendyCal and I are kicking around the idea of a chat room at a specific time for all of us in the expediting field to compare notes,cry on each others shoulders,etc.She suggested Sunday evenings. Most of us are at home or layed over somewhere on Sundays so just checking to see if there would be...

Wondering if any FL 70 owners have experienced the cab doors opening in excessive heat even though they were locked. The last 2 weeks we ran out in the Southwest where the temperatures were in the range of 110-120 degrees. Several times while cruising at about 65 MPH the doors would unlatch and...

We had a pretty decent 8 days other than the heat,Ran mainly in Alabama,Georgia and Mississsippi.It was 108 in Birmingham on Wedensday and that night in Albany GA it was 99 at 2300.But of course the usual difficulty of the layover plan was there.Unloaded in Pasacagula MS on Friday morning and...

I would consider Knoxville Tn,Huntsville Al or the area around Roanoke/Lynchburg VA, and possibly Greenville SC..

Toes the area of the country that you live in should be able to provide you with a OK living,and get you home after 4-5 days out .Some of us like to call the area from Milwaukee to Cincy to Toronto the triangle as that is where a great deal of expedited freight originates and delivers. The...

Jim brought interesting discussions to the table and while I didn!t always agree 100% with his ideas and theoreys,He was a animated and decent expediter.So Jim stay safe out there and will look for you in Detroit..

It has been reported on some of the general trucking web sites that a driver was recently killed at the Petro in Stony Ridge (Toledo) Ohio. He apparently entered a shower at 0530 and when by 0930 he had not exited,the Petro employees went in and found him dead with numerous stab wounds in his...

Bill what happened to Landstar?? I have seen one of those oufits but it was some time ago.Driver told me they had outbound freight from Indy but no backhaul,however the rates sill made it attractive..

Perhaps it was the roll of toilet paper that was confusing,or itcould be that Gladys is one of the Mississippi tailer trash that Troadgirl rants and raves about..

Dave Epling is a personal friend of mine and He knows the business inside and out and will not steer you wrong.He keeps a large inventory and can probably have you up and running in a few weeks. I will be replacing my D unit this year and will buy from him as I know Buckeye Freightliner will...

Lawernce McCord who is the founder and originator of this site has felt that people who are interested in getting into the expediting business have not always received adequate and corect information in response to their questions.So in that light Lawerence has asked me and I have agreeded to...

Nice photo,there is something about a Western Star,saw one of these at the Louisville show,believe it is built in Mexico and it looks like they were thinking dump truck etc,but a expediter truck Western Star would be a neat truck..Do you have any idea of the basic price??

Way to go Connie J,Tell it like it is..

Sounds like a great idea,so lets start the ball rolling,I nominate channel 29..easy to remember as most of the time we have ch 19 set in so all we do is go up 10,I rarely listen to it also,but my wife is a big audio book fan,at least 5 times I have been asleep and she has passed exits that we...

Whats going on here? Jim is ok Canada is ok and so is the USA.If we want to take off on a country,lets do Iran or Irag ,North Korea etc.Ever since this trash Troadgirl got on to this site it seems like serious bashing is going on.Just my observations fueled by Coors and sometimes MOLSONS.
