Looks like someone is going to enjoy a flight home from Denver;) ;)

BP: Good topic, I have picked up and delivered at many military bases. They usually give you some type of property tag that you turn back in when you leave. They also list on the tag what you have deposited,camera phone etc. Seems to me like you did the right thing as I and others would have...

I park in a RV/Boat storage lot about 1 mile from home.Where I live parking has always been a issue with the local people who have nothing to do. The lot is fenced in and secured ,lit up at night and when I leave I leave my pov there. Only problem is cost,up until January of 2005 I was paying...

Welcome to EO and the Forums,your post was very well said. We need more fleet owners like yourself to take an active role,so please continue to express your feelings.

RE: Introduction To Expediting; Now Available in . I have read Tom's series and it truly tells it like it is.

I have to agree with A Team re the incentive bonus area.It is difficult just to keep a 80/80 level without a large amount of fatigue. Trying to go beyond that could create incidents of damage to cargo and the vehicle. Also if I was a driver I would like the owner to meet up with me somewhere on...

This original well meaning thread by Tony in where he was looking for questions and answers that could be used to help a potential expediter has turned into a driver vs fleet owner contract topic. Good topic but that was not the main purpose of the thread. How about giving that a rest and get...

One time i came back from Winnipeg Manitoba and at the top end of I 29 in North Dakota there was a mid size fuel/truck stop. I stopped for fuel and at the next island there was an old beat up International with 8 fuel tanks attached to the frame,4 on each side. I asked the driver about that and...

Hawk I saw nothing wrong,I sent you a PM on this.

i believe they are obsolete,havn't seen one in quite a while.

Is it just me or has anyone noticed how mild the winter has been compared to recent years.Last year we had hurricanes, tusamis,earthquakes, volcano's popping off and other weather problems. Today I was on the road ,had XM on Channel 165 and on the 3 PM News they were talking about the very mild...

The problem is ,how many times a day does it happen to all of us, you are just crusing with lots of space between you and the vehicle in front and then someone cuts in ahead of you and slows down.Now that cushion of space is gone,what do you do? It's amazing how often this happens.You slow down...

You know what,it's not the color of the skin,it's the character of the person within the skin. I have had excellent supervisors working for me that were black individuals who were great guys.

lately with what's been going on it might be better for some of us to remain anonyomous....LOL:P :P

Today Jeff published on the home page several incidents of Best and Worst runs. I have had my share of runs from hell but the Best one that has stayed with me did not involve any big dollars but had a very grateful customer. Back in May of 2004 I was laying over in Houston and took a short trip...

I don't believe that Dave, T Hawk or myself were trying to denigrate the A Team. Simply put we were attempting to keep potential newbies income expectations at a moderate level. I have had trips that paid several thousand dollars more than the A Teams max, but I would not post these figures...

I believe Dave means a contractual relationship between you and the owner.

Wow BP this topic and thread must have set a record 49 replies within 2.5 days. But I think the time has come to lock it down, lots of views expressed,both positive and negative but as usual the urinating match starts. I will not identify the chief urinator but most of us have a pretty good...

It's no different from taking family members with you. The courier or family member must sign a release waiver form and then off you go.For family members additional insurance must be set up.

Very good Hawk,there is a saying that I believe kids use these days, "You need to walk the walk before you do the talk".
