Where are you located? And what is a swoop and squat? I had a couple myself, including flipping a D unit, and most companies can overlook them if preventable. My guess is that your company's insurance company wouldn't let them keep you on... only because of the closeness in dates of your...

I don't know Jung Express, though I have looked at their site. Nothing on it says anything about o/os having to get their own authority. My guess is, like most expediting companies, you use their authority; but you would be better off asking their recruiter. As far as being incorporated, doing...

What do you mean, Pellgrn? Do you find them to be not worth the effort? Raceman...I will be running for the same company you do. Did you have to get your own authority to run with NLM or does your company let you use theirs? Thanx

Hate to say it, but the damnedest things come back to bite us! ;-)

Hmm Road...I thought we were back into defecit before Clinton left office. And, of course, there's the little thing called 911...but we can't claim our economy heading south because of that. Doesn't matter who is in office, there is a cycle of recession/boom. Just depends what that president...

Actually, it was another company that acquired Express-1. I can't recall the name, but I read they operate down south mostly, and have also acquired an air freight company out of Kentucky. I've driven with Express-1 a number of years back, and know they are mostly regional. Teams with them were...

RE: pardon me I almost have to agree with Jizface based on my experience. I answered ad for an expediting company to find an o/o. Happens this business is out of the guy's home. He needs me to deliver a load to GM in Arlington, TX in 30 hrs by myself. I do the job and get paid, but find out the...

Sure there are those who would take our freedom of speech...they're called the liberal press. Anyone who doesn't agree with the far left are ridiculed and berated till they look like a criminal. BTW...W and Cheney aren't questioning his record, I AM! Four months, three purple hearts, and NOT ONE...

If you want a KW, then Fort Wayne Truck Center (Palmer KW) will stretch one for ya. Though I'm a little miffed bout them not returning my calls x(

RE: downshifting tips for eaton-fuller 7 spd non-s When shifting down, just use the clutch. When shifting up, use the clutch, put it in neutral, then rev it a little. While the rpms are higher, try to ease it in gear...should slip right in. Takes some practice, and you will grind it...but that...

Where can I get one like that???

StayStrong, Revenue has little to do with it, at least in Michigan. The troopers or local police don't care if you're driving with the speed of traffic as long as it's not obvious you're being a cowboy. The main reason there's a split speed here in Michigan is that the weight allowance is the...

Express-1 is 1.15 for a D-unit. Isn't Tri-state the lowest in the field? I remember their o/os griping about getting .81 a mile.

Well, since you asked, here's my two cents. Pretty soon O/Os are going to run out of things to put on the backs of drivers. Why not just say, you can have the truck, just pay my 10% a month till it's payed off? But then you don't have a truck. Hmmm...I would say if you need a driver more than...

I know...steal the presidency. Ya know, the constitution is there for a reason. You can't just bypass it when something doesn't go your way... including an ELECTION WON BY ELECTORAL VOTES! So I think someone else needs to get over it. Like it or not, war IS an issue in this election. Yep...some...

I talked to Ft. Wayne KW about putting a class 8 together, and the salesman put in a conference call with Palmer trucks. So far, Ft.Wayne seems to know expediting trucks. I'm looking at buying one at a fair price once the couple trades it in on a new one. But the guy does seem to know his stuff.

Doesn't it always boil down to the lesser of two evils? When has anyone had to choose between the better of two goods? ;)

not stranded in Tennessee...just wish I were :7 Big year? Finally, after 24 years with this team, I would say so. This team is as hungry as any I've seen since the 70's Steelers...maybe moreso. :9 As for driving for someone else, I've decided to go it alone. Why give up the 60-70% to an o/o...

I was talking to a guy who bought trucks to make winter money since he's in construction. He leased on with PTL out of Toledo and says he's done well for the year he's been with them. Do they have a good reputation? Also, this guy says one of his trucks did $3000 last week at the company's...

Tony, You think it's bad here? Not only do you have to deal with typical Canadian liberalism (signs in two languages, socialized health, etc.), but you have those durn frenchies too. My wife is a Canuckian so I can beat up her country. :7
