I would say that there is a problem if a certain carrier has not received checks that another partner carrier has said they mailed if the carrier that mailed the checks has verified that the checks were cashed. If checks were mailed and cashed, but the carrier they were mailed to has not...

There is an Express-1 Sprinter parked 3 miles from my house, at a Meijer store on Gilmore Rd in Forest Park. Anyone we know?

It wasn't that they jumped in the pool, but what they did once they got in the water. That's not a baby ruth bar you see floating by.

Just my name. I'm too lazy to try to come up with clever screen names for internet boards. I saw the avatar on another site and it amused me.

A new 2010? I read that book years ago. I don't see why I'd want to get a new copy now.

The rates are dependent on location these days. Blizzard is getting $1 a mile because he's in an area with little competition and he's with a carrier that isn't paying him a set contract rate per mile. Loads in the west that aren't coming back east are going for better rates because everyone...

It's not the small independents that are driving the rates down. It's the cheapskate larger carriers that are running vans at .70 and straight trucks at $1.10 and fighting each other tooth and nail for the loads. Most independents I know, myself included, are trying to get more money for the...

Put five teeth under the pillow in your sleeper and hope the Freight Fairy pays you a visit?

I did something recently that has been saving me some money on showers, and hopefully getting me in better shape as well. I joined a gym. The reason was because my Sprinter should be the only thing in my business with a spare tire and I finally figured I need to do something about that. My...

I wish my carrier could afford to hire a developer with a little more creativity. The guy they got to do the site was very cheap...and it shows.

Location, location, location. You can't expect to get a lot of miles if you're hanging around where all the other vans are.

1 duck, 1 possum, 1 owl (thing flew right into the windshield in broad daylight) and a couple small furry things in Texas that I didn't see well enough to figure out what they were.

If I'm getting an acceptable rate, then I really don't care what the broker's margin is, but when I'm having to fight tooth and nail to try to get enough of a rate for a driver and me to both make an ok profit, then I take an interest in how much of a margin the one brokering the load is...

I second that about the dispatchers there. I have always spoken with the most polite people there in the past, but I like getting paid for what I haul too, so just being nice isn't quite good enough at the moment.

Working a 9-5 in a financial services company and thinking I was going to spend the rest of my life climbing the corporate ladder.

He's gone independent. I enticed him to the dark side, which explains the avatar I guess. That bit about Nations is true. I had my factoring company check them out because of things I have heard, not wanting to just go believing rumors and what not, and I was told the 19 credit score as well...

Mistaking St. Charles, IL for St. Charles, MO and driving over halfway to St. Louis before realizing my mistake.

I had a driver thinking there was a 2200 mile load picking up where he was sitting. That was kind of mean. Since that driver also posts here, I will leave out any more details.
