RE: The care and maintenance of box floors........ Take it from me with 18 years experience. You do not want to screw around with a lift gate load over 2,000 pounds. It is quite easy to get injured and the next words you will hear is " Call us when you are back in service".

I have heard similar stories about LEA. They seem to be a better deal for solo drivers,don't keep negative stats on you and understand that you are a businesman first and a driver second. Last year I met 2 o/o's that had switched carriers to LEA.Both were highly pleased.

You gotta remember in Michigan they have these 20 axle trucks hauling 160,000 pounds.. Plus those great winters, lived in Taylor MI for a couple of years. Nuff said. x(

RE: The care and maintenance of box floors........ Very true Dave,many companies also have Union rules that do not allow you to enter the dock area and supervise the unloading operation, much less use your p/jack to bring the freight to the rear. There are also safety rules that do not allow a...

Well I want to reply to my friend Terry,we have discussed this issue many times. I started expediting in 1987 for Roberts and decided to incorporate in 1994. Bascially we have a S Corporation and in my state we are allowed to issue 7500 shares of stock.We issued 100,50 owned by me and 50 by my...

Was the GA operation a timber/logging operation. I belive that is considered agriculture and DOT rules do not apply.

You can join a program through OOIDA that will set you up for random drug testing.

I agree with Glen. If you travel more then 100 miles from home you must log.Also the state can look at Joe and say your hours spent on the phone ,doing your billing, lining up loads etc can be counted as on duty time. Best to have a relative do that part of the operation.

Good luck Joe,keep us posted and watch out for the CA DOT,they can be tough, keep your logs up to date,make sure the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed. Stay Safe

A guy sees a sign that says'Volunteers needed for Medical eExperiment ,$500 Fee. So he goes in and is told that they need humans to mate with gorillas. The guy thinks about it for a second,then says, "OK I will do it under three conditions. 1) no one can find out I did this. 2) If there are any...

Try I 10 in LA from Baton Rouge to Texas border

In the State of Maine, SR 9 from Bangor to the New Brunswick Border.

Ocupational insurance is similar to Workmens Comp. If you get injured on the job they will pay you about 60% of your weekly average until you are back to work or they may have a time frame. This insurance is something an owner should carry for you as it if you get hurt on the job you can't come...

I have knowm MR O'Connell for many years. I have spent nights in his home and he has spent nights in mine. Every year we bet a dinner on the Super Bowl outcome and for some reason I ALWAYS WIN.Does this make me a better person,I think so. While Mr O'Connell has 6 inches on me (only in height) we...

Something that happened 24 years ago will probably not affect you now.

Last weekends chat was a lot of fun,should we try again for Sunday night at 2100,realize that many of us have to spend big bucks for the Hallmark Holiday on Saturday night.

Not too far from you.Springfield is off I 70 going west about 50 miles or so.

I don't know what it costs but you can apply for a Canadian Pardon and since it happened so long ago it would probably be granted. I am not a overly religious guy but in these situations I always think of what Jesus said about stoning some woman. "Let who among us is without sin cast the first...

That 650 HP will sure come in handy hauling those C Loads.LOL:) :)
