UPS has a recruiter and former dispatcher who comes on this forum. His screen name is jbrbears. You might private message him on here, or post this request in the Ask the Recruiter forum here. Good luck! Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

It's ok Tennessee. It's normally the ones shooting their mouth off at others with no respect for anyone else that cry like a baby when you pop their bubble. He's just mad at the world and taking it out on everyone here. I love how people become emboldened when they can say whatever emotion...

>Last week, Thursday, I think, I saw a "D" unit going North, >on I-77, through Charlotte, that had the "old" Con-Way NOW >logos all over it!! ============================================ Probably some guy just bought it and was taking it home to strip it. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15...

Well, that sounds pretty typical pricing for local courier. Notice that it says, "starting at $19.99". That service area may actually be quite small, high volume area of town. Most local courier companies "give" some included weight within a delivery price, usually somewhere between 50 and...

What I see is Ralph Nader's group basically fighting any provision that happened to take place on George Bush's watch, no matter what it is. Yes, the present rules will stay in place for the moment, but it sounds as if the courts are coming down on FMCSA in favor of special interest groups...

It means they want to return to a ten hour drive time, but not giving any other concessions. This article didn't mention it, but probably the main "interested party" was Ralph Nader's Private Citizen Organization. You can thank him for this strike against your livelihood...

Cheri, You've taken the words right out of my mouth. It's interesting to see how the people who talk the most smack are the ones who disable their user ratings. I guess they can't take it quite like they give it. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Well, I'm not going to make excuses for a company that is selling brokered loads that should've gone to the contractor. But here's something: Yes, the carrier is out to make money. Duh. So are we. If the carrier CAN'T broker a load he can't cover, then guess what. He loses the customer...

Air freight is slow as well. One forwarder said it's the worst they've seen in 5 or 6 years. I think most of the sales people at shippers are discussing vacation right now rather than sales. If you're not fully prepared to ride this status out, then it would probably be a good time to jump...

Congrats! This is really a great site. I have learned so much from others on here. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Buckeye, Normally it is true that you know that the area will have a slow down. But (and that is a big but), if you ever happen to go thru Cottondale, Florida on US-231, you may find a surprise or two. Small towns use tickets from outsiders to pay for their police help. Nuff said. Drive...

Ok. Let me just say that I have had four calls in the last 30 days asking ME if my little company was taking on O/Os. They either found my web page, business card or got the number off of my truck as I was around town. (I am a one truck company.) A lot of people are talking about how their...

Gojack, I did check out that site, and AMSOIL actually has a great reputation on that site. I've never used it, but I know people who do and they swear by it. It's obviously not just ANY oil. However, I do agree with Greg about the availability factor, whether it is about Amsoil or even...

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica " It seems obvious to me that UPS is aiming to take advantage of the Custom Critical reputation and glean a few customers from the sole major competition by brand name confusion." ============================================ Maybe not so much...

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica Hehehe. Harder than Custom Critical? Customers will probably end up referring to it as UPS Express or UPS Critical. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica Fort Wayne, Before you start with the accusations of this being rumors, you need to know that jbrbears is a RECRUITER for UPS, well established on this forum. He's not starting truck stop talk, he IS the source for the truth about UPS on this...

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica I guess in rereading your post, I answered my own question. Doh! Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

RE: UPS Expedite name change...UPS Express Critica Well it does make sense to throw you together with the Sonic Air division. (Is it still really called UPS Sonic Air, or is that all called Express Critical now?) Please keep us posted. It will be interesting to see what happens in the near...

Shoot. I've been trying to get a runaway tractor trailer to demolish my old van and let that GAP policy kick in. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119
