We don't seem to have any Express Way contractors who are active EO members. I searched past threads including the archives and came up with zero posts for "expressway" or "express way" Hopefully someone will passby soon with some experienced comments for you.

I want all of the above. I want a barber shop with a real barber, not just a hair stylist. I want a medical clinic for DOT physicals, random drug/alcohol tests and repair of minor boo-boo's I want real restaurants within walking distance. I want motels nearby. I want the truck stop to have...

I have or had the Motorola HS810 (I can't find it). it's the last generation of the Motorola 700. It was great when no background noise, such as in the vehicle, but practicaly useless in a vehicle. My next bluetooth earpiece will be the kind where the bud is in the ear canal rather than...

FedEx Custom Critical has at least one Sprinter Reefer truck signed on as a trial project to determine if the market will allow the profitability for all concerned. I saw one of these for sale a couple of years ago and was concerned about the lack of space for a sleeper because the entire box...

Have you mentioned the size of the hole in your floor? You sound like an accomplished wood butcher so you probably know what I'm about to say. Wood screws like those we use on decks or all purpose screws have little shear strength; they aren't designed to hold the weight of a towmotor. I'd...

Welcome to EO: You and your dry van could handily gross $100K as a solo expediter as many typical tractor drivers do so. Many expediters run solo but there is about 2/3 more money available to the team over the solo operator. Solo van operators are plentiful in this business and it's...

Miss Anne: You're new to the site so here's a helpful hint to get you the team for whuch you look. Check the free classifieds on the tabs above and run a free ad. We try to keep the forum clear of commercial business. Welcome to EO and best wishes on finding the dream team Terry

My first renewal attempt at the local AAA office they told me no commercial, so I did not renew. After ignoring a couple of renewal offers in the mail, an agent called with the usual telemarking pitch and when informed why I wasn't renewing the agent said I was misinformed. I've been a...

Perhaps not for straight trucks, but AAA does provide roadside assitance to commercial vans; I've used them many times. I have had AAA employees tell me they don't insure commercial vehicles, but that is not the corporate position. Terry

Sorry to read of your $9K surprise. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Did you perform all of the manufactuer's recommended maintenence on schedule? How long did your oil leak go unattended? Could an earlier repair have mitigated some of the damage or repair expense? I ask these questions...

I'll make it 2 for and 3 against. I'm a Rain-X fan, and have been for years. If applied regularly, I believe this surface tension modifier is an excellent product at highway speeds and a fail suplement to the wiper at slow city driving. In the summer it allows easy removal of the bugs we all...

tr: I've tried unsuccessfully to get a foto onto the site. If anyone wants one of my coveted fotos of a zerk in a hinge PM me; I think I can get it to you that way

That explains why Mary spends so much time at Curves!

Kathy: I'd be careful with the sandblasting. The paint and rust may be all that's holding your chasis together. But, if you must this link is a start: http://www.affordablemaintenancesvc.com/ Terry

Redy and Captain: Thanx for the roses and the BZ. Search and rescue has always been a rewarding endeavor, I guess I can't get it out of my system. This one took almost a minute; they shoud have been so easy at sea.

Mario: Your question is too vague for a finite answer. I doubt that anyone can tell you an industry average for expedite vans, either for miles or money. As an experienced expediter you probably know that the revenue varies greatly between the lowest paying carrier to the best paying. Common...

Assuming you mean how much must you give to the carrier to sign-on, the costs vary by carrier. So, tell us the carrier(s) you're interested in and someone can give you the real start-up cost. Some carriers may want the money up front and others will take from your settlements until you're...
