you can tell yourself that but when they pick up that load as a team and run straight thru from east coast to west coast that's expedite. they just wait 2 or 3 days or longer between loads, and do it for cheaper. weather it's expedite in the "purest" form or not it gets there just as fast and...

you would be surprised how many of those "cheap carriers" have expedite divisions. they may not run d-units and b-units or advertise that they want "expedite" drivers, but they have expedite. ex. schnider,crst,covenant,j.b. hunt,swift, and c.f.i. just to name a few.

thats a good one highway.

i wasn't trying to bad mouth canadians vanman. i just figured they were paid a similar wage as the american workers. the uaw is more of a problem than a solution in my mind. i know alot of people on this site love the uaw with all their heart,mind,body,and soul for whatever reason.

RE: Me to went to Houston got Booted out........wo the deal is the flying j is a truck stop. therefore trucks drop trailers there sometimes. you know sometimes you have to do that to put them in the shop for say an oil change or something. sorry everyone doesn't drive a four wheeler for a...

RE: Involved with Clinton for President? Be Carefu i don't think that the person who wrote that article on that website like clinton do you? all that was, was a rebuttal. they really showed no hard evidence just their oponion like the first person. one thing i found interesting was they spoke...

a lot of people on this site act like dispatchers are gods. they put their pants on one leg at a time just like drivers do.

RE: Independent Contractors/owner operators: what' to me independent contractor and owner operator is a different way of saying the same thing. when i think of a true independent i think of someone who owns their own truck, trailer if applicable, have their own authority , and find their own...

RE: Has anyone given NHTSA a comment on the speed what's wrong with ooida? i'm a member and glad i am.

plus those people who say they get 3 dollars amile don't always mention that they may only get 100 miles a week. there is always another side. like my dad. he does heavy/oversized loads. he get 3.25 a mile. but he usually averges about 5 mpg. plus has to buy expensive permits and pay for flag...

I completely agree with the above post. Plus might I add something. Take your time. Don't just jump in with both feet until you know what you are getting into. Remember the grass always looks greener on the other side. This is a good business to get into, but it is a business, and you need to be...

i think the main problem is alot of people don't have good money management skills.

a lil coffin sleeper is better than none at all. i agree with cheri a place to sleep is important and a drivers seat wouldn't do the trick for me. i guess you could lay a piece of plywood between the seats and sleep there. that's what my grandpa and uncle said they did back in the old days. of...

my suggestion would be drive for a fleet owner for 6 months to a year before you buy a truck. it might just save you some heartache. you might love it and want to buy a truck or you might be in it a couple of months and think this isn't for me and want out. if you do go to work for a fleet owner...

another before you go to test is practice,practice,practice. when i was practicing for my class a we set up empty 55 gallon drums the plastic ones and i practiced backing around them. that backwards serpertine can be a pain if you're not ready for it. but the walk around for me was the hardest...

knowing where to go and not to go kinda comes with time and seeing different regions do with freight. plus because an area was slow this week doesn't mean it will be slow next week or month. the best thing to do is take notes and remember where the slow spots are.
