Never tried Obsidian, but I looked it up and it sounds like my speed. Normally at home, I'm down with the Eight O'Clock French Roast (Whole Bean). The best bag of coffee under five bucks I think I've ever had. On occasion I will splurge and buy some Illy coffee at William - Sonoma.

============================================== Yeah, it takes hot coffee and a hot shower to make me good for anything. If I haven't had those two, I could end up back in bed at any time.

Reminds me of Frank Zappa's "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow".......

Also remember that you have to factor in one other detail: Transmission. Pairing it with the right tranny can make or break the longevity of your engine. As far as class 7 trucks go, just stay away from the Cat 3126. I know. it's hard. Folks like Alimijunk saturated the market with these...

Just wanted to give a shout out to Denis and Jeff, a couple of Fedex contractors I met today in front of Ryder Logistics in Orlando. Really nice guys. I hope your trips this weekend go safely.

Hey Moot. Still wearin' those "Panther Pants?" =)

It's hard to know when and where a customer will come. Sometimes they fall into your lap and othertimes they require a lot of persistence. I've been to see a potential client and the guy spent only two minutes with me, telling me he had no use for me. The very next DAY he called for a quote...

You might use the pay stub from that last check against his pay as proof of your original arrangement. I'm no lawyer though. You would definitely need one to even begin. Small claims in most states have payout limits. I would definitely recommend drawing up some kind of written contract with...

=================== Wow. Nine days and 3000 miles later. Sounds like someone hasn't been doing their "pre-trip." :(

RE: Any load boards on the Internet besides Getloa You will need to specify LTL to see smaller shipments only on either of those sites. I rarely see LTL loads that would fit a cargo van, weight wise. Actual dims are another matter. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years...

RE: Follow up ti "has this ever happened to you" p Um, I'm gonna ditto what Doggy said. It's not worth making an issue with the carrier. No QC, no load. Side note: If you had gotten to deliver load #1 and been QCed with a nice paying job right near where you delivered, you would have been...

Just make sure they know what they're doing with broker authority. Some of them you see listed around these parts may just specialize in motor carrier authority. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of...

There are broker schools that will train you AND help certify you. I don't envy you as broker. The margin of profit is generally very slim and you will need working capital as you will need to pay the carrier sooner than you receive payment for your services many times. I'm no expert, but I...

So is that to say you are looking at getting broker authority, or motor carrier authority? Sometimes within a circle of professionals, people will just call it "authority", but they are definitely different animals. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119 "Let...
