1st load for Tri-State Expediting Services was Mar 24th,and last night, the 9th of April,I'm here sitting at home. I have a friend that once put down his old company for his new one,I can't do that.FDCC was good to me for many years,but I must say,times have changed. For 16 days Ive practically...

the mpg difference isn't worth the cost,if you should have a blow out on the road.Hard to limp to a truck stop with a flat tire, and when the guy comes out to fix you,he's going to bring you out another 750 dollar tire .IMO just not worth it.

In 1995 i bought a new KW truck was $100000,and I put 30k down.my payment was 1866 for 5 years.When the truck was 3 years old i traded it for 1999 freightliner,that was $115000.Only down payment was the 1995 KW.My payment was 1975,for 5 years.In 2004 i traded the 1999 Freightliner for the...

well Freightliner just told me truck will be done at 1600 today.Doesn't look like I'll be able to get QC and permits 'til tomorrow,probably going to be Wed.morning before being able to take our 1st dispatch. Just can't wait to get going.

I remember the beginning.Yes it was Roberts Express.There was no competition in those days.The company did no advertising,and other than the customers and drivers,no one new what exactly Roberts Express did. In today's market,what Roberts was will only be a memory.Today's customers are not only...

The love of your pet is unconditional and their love for you is the same.But what no one figures during these years together,is the heartache your going to feel when either they die,or you have to put them to sleep,because of the suffering they are in. It doesn't matter if it's a dog cat or...

Been home form orientation for couple days,may be home for week end.Truck is still in shop,some of the parts have been back ordered,suppose to be in today,but they still have to be painted.was suppose to get it out this morning,but its not going to be.Anxious to get back on the road.Hard to pay...

There wouldn't be the turn over rate if in orientation the truth was told about practices in expediting.Most companies don't tell you that after you do your load you may sit 1 or 2 days till you get your next load.They don't tell you that the average expedite load only needs a team because the...

What's needed to know is every company is here to make money.If you own the truck you drive,then you own your own company and want it to succeed,and the company you lease to also needs to make money for them to succeed.That company can't just caterer to any one individual,so if the company that...

right now Tx isn't the place to go.to many loads in,not enough good paying loads out.

You may as well just go to the yellow pages ,and start calling around.Figure out what CCA's you need,and get prices.The higher the cold cranking amps,the shorter the life of the battery.I have my best luck with Alliance batteries.You get them either at TA truck stops or your friendly...

Your getting a third party story,unless you actually were there,how do you know this is all true?When people are frustrated,a mountain can be made of a mole hill.

Solo in Texas,my friend,all I have to say is good luck.Do you realize the expedite business is hauling freight that is needed in most cases right away.A solo can't cross the state of Texas over night,and expedite freight usually loads in the afternoon,when shippers find they can't get their...

ok im a tractor but Ive been in a similar situation,it has worked both ways 1st i went after a D load,i go out to the dock and find they filled my trailer,I called dispatch,they put me on hold,and when they came back on the phone,gave me a dry run and said tell them to unload you,paying customer...

Just finished 3 days of orientation.Was very informative,instructor was good at his job,and nothing seemed to be sugar coated.Was this better than other orientations I've been to,not saying better,but just as good.You should be able to take your first load and not have a problem.

Whats the big deal here?If a van can take a 2500 lb load,it doesnt matter if it weights 1 lb or 2500 lbs,its still a van load.The only thing that changes,is the hand load and unload.This should raise the price of having fun.If the carrier can't adjust the pay,then to me its a reason for turn down.

FedEx Custom Critical and Roberts Express are the same companies,just a change of names

its 0653 on east coast,if you watch doesn't reflect this,you forgot to set it ahead
