I would say no on this load if I was in a good Express Center. Like Jim said it beats deadhead out of a bad Express Center if its going to take you to one that has great freight. It all depends on where your at.

I really don't know who you have been talking too, but everyone I have talk to hates it and all off our driver hate it. The loads being sent out to many trucks at the same time is great and I don't mind that because FedEx can get the load covered faster. The problems I have is. 1. When it...

Our Carrier has came up with a new dispatch system that all of our driver's hate. I understand the idea behind it but they need to throw this one out the window and run it over with the truck. Now our trucks are getting load offers that are 300 to 500 miles away. With the high cost of fuel...

I'm sorry I won't be at the Expo Again this year because my step son is getting married. One of the trucks that I manage will be their, ER5230. It's a very nice truck that Wayne Jirsa had built and painted. If you get a chance look at the artwork on this truck. Keith Gill is the driver and...

This was sent to me in an E-mail and I hope the pictures show up. PO2 (EOD2) Mike Monsoor, a Navy EOD Technician, was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for jumping on a grenade in Iraq, giving his life to save his fellow Seals. During Mike Monsoor's funeral in San Diego, as his...

Expedite freight is expedite freight no matter what size unit you have. For someone to say your not an expediter because you don't work for a company that doesn't put a banner on EO is CRAZY. Your hauling Critical shipments that needs to be there ASAP. Sounds like to me your an Expediter. Sounds...

Welcome back Mike. Nice pictures.

Sounds to me like this person like to blow their own horn. Jim, Moot, Hawk, and Greg good post about telling us the real deal. thanks Guys

Well, if their rules didn't change every other month things like this wouldn't happen. Here is what im talking about. I asked for our company to send out the paperwork to a driver and some of the paper work they sent was the old forms and they said that the driver need to sign the new forms...

I understand where your coming from Jim. You have always been a great poster on EO. It's just so upsetting that we even called and asked about the things on his MVR and was told he was ok. Then you send them for a drug test which gets charged back to the owner and they charge you for a back...

Naw the recruiter is a very good person. It's just the person that deals with finding drivers for owners doesn't like me for some reason I was told. I don't know and really don't care if they do or if they don't. It's just the job they are being paid to do a job by our carrier that they don't...

Nobody is getting desperate as you put it, if that was the case I just hire anyone. This driver told me up front about his MVR and I called our carrier and asked the agent in the safety department about it. She told me he was okay. So that driver was all ready to come on with our carrier. Then...

That was done when he put on the trucks, no the owner doesn't work for any expedite company. The owner is in the Rent To Own Business. You know like Rent-A-Center.

Jon Is a great man. Good luck with your new gig.

With campanies going away from how many points a driver has on his MVR it's getting harder to find drivers. I had a driver that I wanted to hire and he only had 4 points on his CDL with the state of Ohio but our company said no to him coming on with us. He had a speeding ticket, Running a stop...

This is a very good post. The Smith System is a great tool. To help your remember the 5 key parts of it, just say to yourself All Good Kids Like Milk.

What is the name of the film?

Maybe we can talk to Lawrence about having a Expediter Truck Driving Championship at the Expo next year. Being in this type of business it seems we get the raw deal on the truck driving championships. The ATA Truck Driving Championship doesn't have any real class's for people that do expedited...

Dean I'm sorry that you every signed on with that company. Back in 1994 when I was checking into this business I met with a so called recruiter from CTX. He ask me to meet him at the Burger King on Arlington Road in Akron. Never signed on with them for that reason and thought there company...

Sounds like one Of Ken's trucks, If so he is a good owner and is all about business.
