    Interesting article on XPO

    Cutting their contractors pay only offers them a slight bump until those people leave. Many of them have. Hard to grow that side when you are the cheapest in town. But that aside, it is where they are making their investments. Seem to be 3PL's as of late. Outside of expediting their losses are...

    Interesting article on XPO

    Certainly starting to look like it. Most of the people that used to be there I believe have left. I guess it is "squeeze the remaining".

    Interesting article on XPO

    Found this article interesting considering they cut drivers pay earlier this year. If I didn't know better, it almost looks like they are moving away from expediting. XPO Logistics, Inc. Leaps Upwards in Second Quarter 2013

    A list of reputable shops... good & bad

    We have used J & R several times and they did a good job for us. Shops are hard to tell. We are currently dealing with a Cummins dealer in Cincy. Had to replace a leaking exhaust manifold and they either forgot to install the "O" ring at the turbo or put in the old one. Of course it is now...

    T & K Nationwide Trucking

    If they filed, I would call the bar association for that county/state. They could provide a list of attorneys that would deal with that. Be warned, they likely will want some type of retainer up front since they won't know if they can collect. One can win the battle but not collect a cent. The...

    Does it seem like more companies are skimming

    The reality is most carriers try to operate with a veil of secrecy. With the age of technology, it gets tougher to hide information even though many still play that game. The bottom line is the revenue, but it makes for a better relationship when you know you and the carrier are on the same...

    Newbie Advice For 1st Time Driving Position?

    That would probably be your best option. Your return calls will be limited based on your own observation. As a fleet owner, I can say someone with your situation would be considered high risk just because of the inexperience and location.

    T&K Trucking

    And there you have it. It is a matter of risk verses reward. Over the years, many of these outfits have failed and ripped off the driver only to reopen months later under another name. Or....operate under many different names. Must be hundreds of posts identifying these shortcomings. With...

    Fast Food Strike: Workers Walk Out In US Cities

    When immigration reform is passed, all those illegals will take those jobs for the current minimum wage. You can thank a democrat for that. Just think, if Obama had the economy humming along, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Pretty much anything coming out of Washington is anti-growth...
