I read in the last Land Line that they were rationing the new fuel out west. Denver had to ship some of their fuel further east cause of a shortage. That's just like the feds. Make us conform, then be completely ill-prepared for their own timeline.

I think they give a reasonable explanation. When you look at most urban highways, you don't even get 4' before you meet a concrete wall. So, if an emergency presents itself, I'd rather hit a wire with breakaway posts. I've been thru a couple of incidents where wires would've helped enormously...

I agree with TJ's methods. If I'm home, it had better be a run worth taking me out of the area. Being that I'm in the Detroit area, I've gotten some good loads. Sometimes, they came after turning down loads I would have otherwise taken, if I were already on the road.

There's a thread called Expediter Services about half way down this same page, and only started a couple days ago.

The owner I run for has Nextel. Just about every time I call, I get "The Nextel customer you are trying to call cannot be reached" crap. Doesn't help if I'm having an emergency. I have Sprint, and won't change. They are absolutely the best, in my mind. My wife and I visit family in Canada, and...

Do you not see what I and a lot of others see? It's not that he has all these toys, he acts like he's the only one with them. Personally, when I read a lot of his posts, I get a flashback to the whole Al Gore- internet thing. :P

This owner sounds fishy. Sounds like he's trying to get over on someone who has no experience in the field, at least till Jack gets wise and takes a hike. I'd also tell the owner no thanx, and look for someone who knows what the going rate is.

You mean the magic 8-ball is a toy? I've been using that to accept or decline loads for years! ;)

Big conspiracy between Bush, who wanted to go to war with all the arabs, and the company that owns the towers, who knew the bazillion dollar towers were failing, and wanted a way out of losing all that money. Enter 3000+ corpses and a ton of sympathy from around the world. Thus, you have a...

Where do you get bashing out of what I said? You stated one thing, and I stated my opinion, both agreeing and opposing it. The DILLUSION I was refering to was Ateam's statement: "Today, as an expediter, I hear talk of small companies getting bigger, competition driving down the cost of...

Does anyone know if they do a lease/purchase program, and what companies they allow you to sign on with? One site says Panther and FXCC, and another says companies with non-forced dispatch.

As things slim down for the expediter, I think those with specialized services will hold out for a bit longer. However, it won't be long before the norm will turn towards having a reefer and liftgate. You already see it happening. Ateam stated his dilusion that what happens in expedite won't...

Slow time of the year? I've been thru many slow times this year, but August has usually been one of the best months. I hope it picks up out there for everyone who's slow.

That's a very nice rendition, Coco. While I was stuck in Laredo this last week, I watched Titanic. I have to say that besides all the kiss and slurp ga-ga, they did an outstanding job bringing back the flavor of the era. Then that got me thinkin... They had so much flavor throught the 20th...

I'd run a d-unit with them, but I highly recommend talking to several van drivers/owners before running a van. Everything I've heard was that they were saturated with vans, and even ppl who have been with them for years told me they were having HARD times. I believe Scott will give you the...

That's because, unless they've changed it, your percentages continue to rotate at a 30 day cycle. So, you could take the day off having 100% in service for the past six months, but it counts as a day off in your last 30 days. Then say that day is the first of the month. If you stay in service...

Don't tell anybody, ok? ;)

I talk to him close to everyday, getting the lowdown on what's going down, since we're with the same company. He's taking a break from EO, right now, and will be back in his own good time.

What did you expect? I can't exactly put porn on here :7
