Orientation would be in Green Ohio,Many White Glove loads require handeling with inside deliveries and inside pickups. You will also proably have liftgate loads which can become hairy. Temperature loads are part of a DR unit, You may be required to monitor the temperature from start to finish...

You might want to rent a large Ryder unit for a weekend and play with it just to get your feet wet again. By playing with it I mean backing into unused loading docks,going down narrow roads etc. Then if a fleet owner puts you on,the owner will most likely want to see how you handle his/her...

Don't want to give you bad news but nothing other then some military freight comes out of the panhandle in Florida. Mobile AL might generate some business but you won't keep 15 trucks busy in that area doing expedite freight. Now there might be some ltl stuff that you can work with but expedite...

I am a veteran,did my time is the US Army. This week something occurred to make me ashamed of the Bush Administration who did something which was a slap in the face to all veterans who served our country. I am refering to the President giving Mohammend Ali the Presidential Freedom Medal. What...

Very interestering topic.What some owners want and desire others don't. My trucks have all come off a lot pre set up by the Dealer and while there are some drawbacks I have been pleased as since the Dealer did the setup and any modifications ,it is his dime that goes to repair anything that...

Actually I was going to advise Leo a method to have Terry's checks , direct deposited into Leo's account, but then I figured Leo wouldn't see the difference.

With FEDEXCC they charge $1.55 to load the card, then you get 3 hits off of that load,after that Comdata charges $1.00per tranaction. I ususally get 2 fillups then write a ComCheck to my company for the balance. When you buy fuel at a Pilot using your Comcard you get .05 cents per gallon rebated...

I think you would find it very interestering going around sharp curves if you made the new box dock hight and put 4K in the back.

Anybody had the wonderfull experience of running for Merchants Home Delivery ??

It still might happen,we don't make you walk the plank,punishment is to do shower cleaning duty at your local F/J.. LOL Check your PM

I have had a pallet jack for many years and while very usefull in some circumstances there is a downside to having one. Since your carrier has it logged that you have a pallet jack there will be times when the phone rings at 0 dark hundred with a plea to help us as there is a truck that has...

Hawk I have to disagree with you about the retirees that have some bucks but are still expediting in vans. Lets say that a retiree quit and parked his/her van. Well in 99% of the cases the Compnay will just put another van on and not shrink their fleet. So the fleet size stays the same meaning...

Very good question? I think you might get detained for a while but if the so called contraband was in with the cargo you would probably be OK,note probably,now if it was in the cab or sleeper that would be a different story.

The way I understand it is that a DOT officer cannot search your truck unless there is a bonafide safety situation,such as holes in the sleeper floor allowing exhaust fumes to leak in. Now customs can impound you and keep you in a holding area for 72 hours based on suspoicion alone. Perhaps Rob...

I believe you can also request a Company represenative to be present when they serve the warrant and do the search.

About a year ago I spent Saturday night at Rip Griffin's T/S on I 20 east of Dallas. I parked in the front lot off in a corner and had a decent nights sleep. Sunday morning I was drinking coffee and reading the Dallas newspaper and a K9 police car pulled into the lot. He drove around and spotted...

I believe the repercussions are there in the cold cruel world of expediting. A Team mentioned that at one time they asked for 3 more hours and it was granted. Now they only get short runs. It could very well be that they are flagged in the computer that they do not have the stamina or endurance...

RE: I am no longer a ROOKIE one year ago today I t Way to go Kraig,nice meeting you at the Expo ,wish we had more time to talk. BTW your truck build came out great,good looking piece of equipment. You speced it right and let the builders do their job.

For some unknown reason Denny"s restaurants always have the Green Discount books. I prefer Best Westerrn's, most have guest laundry,internet acess and restaurants within walking distance.
