    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    Right, that's why I included this in my comment:

    No, it came across, and it was funny. :D My reply was simply my own smart ass way of noting that while most of the forums on EO welcome and even encourage such humorous comments, the Web Site Support and Services forum isn't really one of them. This forum, not unlike the Tax Topics forum and a...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    It's not really semantics when a carrier has 80 vans, and after orientation they still have 80 vans. If 10 vans went through orientation and all 10 came from other carriers, the net increase to the industry is zero. If the 10 who left went to other carriers who are also replacing vans that left...

    You want a thread prefix that says "Friday Load"? I'm not really sure how such a thread prefix would be all that beneficial. The key feature of a thread prefixes is not to denote what the thread is about, but rather you can click the prefix and it will filter out all of the threads which don't...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    No, they aren't. They are, however, a direct reflection of it. Exactly. When the big guys are adding vans it's because the market will bear it, as demand exceeds capacity. In a carrier's market, when demand exceeds capacity, blg guys and little guys alike will add vans. When that market becomes...

    Forum Tip Edit/Delete Post Time Limit

    Previously the time limit on editing or deleting your own posts was 90 minutes. You can make a post, then get a load, and 2 hours down the road realize, "I should have said this or that in that post." Or you see a typo you want to correct. Whatever. The time limit on editing and deleting posts...

    New driver

    Posts (or lack thereof) in the forum shouldn't affect posting in the Classifieds. I know almost nothing about the Classifieds portion of EO, but I do know there are several people who post listings over there who have never posting in the forums. Maybe Lawrence will see this and chime in.

    "Security" light is lit.

    Yeah, like I said, if it's a Passcode problem, the engine won't start. When the engine starts and it drives fine except the security light is on, it's almost always the cylinder and/or the ignition switch. People who have damaged or worn keys will replace the cylinder, then suddenly they have...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    When the big guys stop taking on cargo vans, it's because there are too many cargo vans in the industry for them or the industry to adequately support. Someone hellbent on entering this industry despite such a glaring and blaring warning sign will get even less patience than you have for those...

    It's a sad day for Internet privacy, but a glorious day for the inaugural August Christmas holiday. Granted, that site doesn't verify e-mails, so many of them can be fake (and probably are), but many or maybe most probably aren't. Still, in all, some 15,000 people registered their accounts...

    "Security" light is lit.

    When the engine starts and the light stays on, it usually means there is a mechanical problem somewhere in the security system. For keys with a fob, the resistor not being read when turning the key is one of those kinds of problems. If you have a totally bare key with no cover on it, then it's...

    "Security" light is lit.

    This could be any number of issues. If it was Passcode related, the engine probably wouldn't start, since that's what it's designed to do. You might try the Passcode Relearn Procedure and see if that helps, but it probably won't make any difference. Another thing to try is disconnect the...

    Did my homework, researched on here, so I want to make sure I have this right

    Yes, you have it right. All things being equal in Load Opportunity World, you'd make more money in a van because of the limiting hours available to drive a big truck. However, in Real World Land, there are a gazillion vans making the load opportunities for vans far less than they are for...

    Anyone out there letting O/O's bid their own loads?

    The thing is, there's a good reason for those [good] carriers not taking on any new cargo vans, and it's that very reason that make Option 1 and Option 2 virtually identical in both perceptions and results.

    What happened to VOI?

    What's really funny is, you're ranting against VOI claiming it doesn't guarantee anything, is a farce, blackmail, yet in the same thread think TEANA should give it away to all without the pesky red tape of membership. sbarrett , he's afraid that TEANA will convince every expedite shipper and...
