To answer your question, I will say this - I wish I had a Tractor and a class A license, I would be making a lot more money and it would not all be with expedited freight. It seems that there are several schools of thought, one is that the freight has not been slow and another is that there is...

I don't think that they have the light show anymore, they have some lights on the farm. Since Monohan gave the farm away, they made a lot of changes to the place.

Phil, I think that the proof of Dave's point is that he has a business that seems to be successful. He knows what is going on in his business, as I do in mine. His ROI is defined by him and is none of anyone's business just like mine is defined and none of anyone's business. Don't get me...

Thats interesting, but.... don't take this wrong. What was the big deal on getting it for the $89? To me and maybe I take safety seriously but I would have not hesitated to pay the $89 to ensure I was limiting any problems, and I am cheap. Rainx is not a solution, driving in the rain in...

1- set yourself some realistic goals with money and time. 2 - don't worry about what we say right now, there is plenty of time for that, I would not rush into it until you do number 3. 3 - tomorrow morning, call the companies and talk to the recruiters, there maybe more than one week to get...

Sorry, I didn't get the part where you had a tractor, maybe I am too tired from all the excitement cleaning my office today. I don't get the straight truck experience but..... Well anywho... well you are on the best path with the tractor. It sets you up to take more than what most of us can...

They are still negotiating but they want us to do something, so I cleaned my computer/office throwing out all my books and class material on accounting and business because it don't matter in the bigger picture of life, no one can define ROI. ;)

Well you didn't say that you were looking for a company but rather asked where should I start my expedited life?:) I have to ask, are your intentions to be in a tractor or a straight truck? A week is still too short.

Wow that's fusion Asian cuisine! Looks good. Well if you are ever in Ann Arbor Michigan area, and have a van, there is real Thai restaurant next to the downtown market, Siam Cuisine. It is a family owned place and very very good food, the service can be a bit challenging but that is because of...

In expediting, the first thing that is tested is the patients in finding a company to contract with. A week is too short, I took two months and I thought I was rushing it, but again I ask what's the rush?

Well we can have a better tourism in this state, no doubt about that. maybe if there is a change in government it would help - get rid of that *****. Just remember Jim there are always solutions. I wish you luck.

David, the word that comes to mind is troll. I had to get my back straighten after spending too much time hunched over and my wife called me a troll.

Dave, Leo, Phil is trying to find some answers beyond Wikipedia. Please bear with me in my reply to him. It may sound twisted but in fact it seems to be true - I am just taking the long way around the barn for Phil's sake.. What don’t you get? OK ROI is simple; it is a...

Who, me? Well I got rid of the van. Had problems with finding drivers, even with a 70/30% split, so I had to focus on other important things and gave the thing away.

Can't answer that, got rid of the van but if you are asking the MPG, I averaged 18 loaded and unloaded. Well for me it was a 3500 GMC (9500 or so GVW) with a Diesel. It weighed 7000lbs and had pretty much a 2500lbs payload. See my second answer but I am trying to figure out the registration...

Shhh... the expediting Gods will be angry.... Don't you know that ROI is part of the secrets of the universe never to revealed to mere mortals?

Well the thing is it is a constitutional amendment, the last time I checked, one amendment does not cancel the other amendments out. This is not a good example but I will throw it in, the selection of the senators, it is in the constitution that the state governments have the right to select the...

Well Phil what can be said, it seems that you hit upon a discovery that some things that have dogged man for centuries can't be answered. But really if you are lost in trying to find a definition, maybe start with understanding the definition of LUCK which could lead you down the path to...

Dave, Exactly, the days of the exclusive use expediter is dwindling and you see more and more LTL or what I call express LTL freight coming into the scene. To me, and it maybe more me than anything else, this seriously blurs the line between mainstream trucking and expediting and forces us to...
