This thread is a good example of criticism with fact without the oft seen hyperbole when we see discusions of dislike of carrier procedure and policy. In a perfect world, carriers like All-Types Expediting will view posts such as this and revise their policies that give the appearence of...

I'll weigh in on the phone dispatch option. As soon as the carrier explains the detention pay procedure to the paying party, the BOL signing will soon follow and the dock dork will, perhaps, learn a lesson from his supervisor. Terry

This one takes no skill whatsoever. Use mouse to help her. http://www.izpitera.ru/lj/tetka.swf Terry

RE: some advice and my IT story Greg: You have posted an impressive CV and I'm sure that many of the EO members join me in wishing you well in returning to your field of expertise and choice. I trust that this expediting thing will provide you with a bit of financial success on your road back...

When I was a child in Boston, the Sumner Tunnel was a $.25 toll road. The toll was implemented to pay for the tunnel construction and was to be eliminated when all the bills were paid. The bills have been paid and today the automobile toll is $3.00. The Boston politicians have been a bit...

If that doesn't work for you, I'll sell you a diesel scented air freshener to hang from the disco ball in the sleeper. Need a disco ball, we can do that too. These objects are too secret to give any more details so e-mail my brother if you want some. Terry

This one's for the OldProf; his high level of intellect should allow him to do these in his head while relieving the boredom. Everyone else will go insane by level 5. www.planarity.net

Regardless of my sleep prior to a night run, I nearly always seem to need a nap between 1600 and 1800 and again between 0300 and 0500, or just before dawn. As a sea faring man, I preferred the early morning watches and usually was wide awake to see the sun rise over the horizon. Perhaps that's...

L&B: I can't place the faces but think I remember your name tags. Perhaps the management will have tags next year that not only have names but home towns and carrier(if any). Rene' and I live next door to you in the low rent district at exit 220. Let's do lunch. We too had a great time at...

One of the Expedite Expo sponsors was Transport Insurance Agency. I didn't talk to them but their seminar was quite interesting and the reps appeared to be very knowlegab;e about the biz. Terry

Rene' and I are now enroute the Expedite Expo at Woodhaven, MI. We look forward to the pleasure of meeting all of the EO members, other expediters, and expediter aspirants who stop by. You will enjoy the live music of Joey Holliday while perusing over 75 vendors and carriers that cater to us...

Cashcrop1 conveniently forgot to mention the $299 annual membership fee needed for the joy of saving this staggering sum of money. This is an MLM opportunity that would have you pay an additional $99 to sign up two people who each would find and sign two more every 8 weeks, etc., etc. Two would...

Sounds like you can get a two truck fleet ready to roll for the 35K. I think the actual value of the truck is not as important as the value of the complete package. I believe I'd be more interested in a mechanical evaluation of the remaining life of the trucks, the intentions of the drivers if...

Broompilot is traveling without his truck this weekend so I'll try to do his system justice in case he misses this thread. He has a dash mounted monitor with continuous loop recorder that records whatever is showing on the manually switched monitor. He has a camera in the front windshield to...

they will let me come on if I >get rid of six windows and build a bulkhead). Your carrier of choice might just let you paint the inside of the windows and/or screw or tack-weld a theft deterent barrier of expanded metal or some flat stock.

This may sound like a broken record but I suggest you make an investment in your future and make it to the Expedite Expo where you can talk to the many ConWayNow drivers that'll be there. I take nothing away from the recruiter's; however, if they told you the average is 1800 miles a week, I...
