    Dock high required

    I've tried to load at docks where a van had to back up a steep ramp and through a very narrow rollup door, all because their insurance policy would not allow a fork truck to leave the building. Or, they have one of the indoor pallet lifters (stand up style with the scissor forks) and they can't...

    Hazmat ?

    If you're at the dock and find you now have a Haznat load, I wouldn't start loading the truck until dispatch straightens the pay out on the QC. If you're waiting till later to see if you got more, you probably won't. It's kind of like trying to get detention time when you didn't call dispatch...

    Roberts Express memories

    Ok, I noticed that the original link I gave is no longer valid. It may be because I (and maybe a few others) bought the trucks this company had in stock, and so it didn't even show as an inventory item. Well, I got a knock on the door today, and lo and behold, there stood Mr. Brown socks...

    Stuffed shirts and this ain't fun no mo

    I think they just change when the number of your posts hits certain intervals. I don't think EO instituted it. Probably came with this new forum script.

    Sleeper Essentials

    InIDAHO, What kind of sleeper setup do you have now? Are you even running a truck? If not, my recommendation would be to drive someone else's truck for a bit. You'll learn what you want and don't want in time. And I agree with Greg and the Caffees. Worry more about what you truck can...

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hi All, Have a Question?

    With a cube van, I'd make sure tht the company that you're looking at accepts such. Many demand vehicles bigger than cargo van be dock high. Cube vans are cute, easy to park and I run one myself (not for long), but the gears are not set up for long highway runnin', and the trannys really...

    A wave of new Expediters?

    Bob, With figures you gave, if you worked 50 weeks a year and took two weeks paid vacation, you were making over $46 per hour. BTW, I always get friends who come to me when they need work and they want to do what I do. I always tell them, "If you can do ANYTHING else other than this, then...

    Free Samples

    Ah yes. Samples! Goodies galore! When I lived in California, I used to pick up at this cookie bakery (in Stanton, if I remember correctly). I always received a few packages for myself. One nutrition place I visited gave me around $250.00 worth of protein bars at one time. We did sports...

    Ripp Off Report

    Just because Panther made the Rip-Off Report doesn't mean they're a scam. It just means that some disgruntled driver with a bad contract (if any)with an owner, got in over their head and is crying that the big bad Panther doesn't care.
