Ouch. I know my truck doesn't even crank up for anywhere near that. Maybe, just maybe that is the net figure that he pays himself out of his gross. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Could be if he is a driver and not the owner of the truck. Maybe he doesn't pay for fuel. Don't know van drivers who would do it for that much. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

I sure don't want them to. It's all fun and games until you get hit by a speed trap in some small town. Speed drop from 55 to 35 in an instant while the 35 sign just "happens" to be blocked by a tractor / trailer, only to find a state trooper behind it. Kablam! Now YOU must pay around 1500...

Hey Tar, That's good to hear. I had gotten a PM from someone else that things were going well. I'm hoping to hear from others as well. EGL is a big player in freight forwarding and right now there are a few big changes happening in that industry. BAX got bought out by a German company and...

BTW, this was NOT started in order to create some drama. I know that the EGL buyout affects some folks on here, and I am just wondering what and how soon. ????? Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Actually, I heard that when I was in Tampa last week from two different people down the street from EGL (one was Freight Force). Evidently, a couple owner-ops had already been in looking for work. Everything may be all fine and dandy by now, but there was obviously some sort of hiccup and I...

> >They are making us get TSA approved for air cargo something >that wasn't required before.... ================================================ That "cargo something" is basically a new rule for air shipments whereby the agent (you) who drops a shipment at the airport must be approved by...

I know there are a few folks on here work are contracted to EGL. I was just wondering if you could tell us what is happening since the Ceva Logistics takeover. I know of a couple stations where people showed up this last Monday 6/18/07 only to find that the locks had been changed and they had...

About a year or so ago I was picking up at Forward Air in Tampa. It was right after the Fast and the Furious movie about drifting in cars. Wouldn't you just guess what those guys were doing on forklifts? Yep. Slding all over the pavement on the warehouse. One guy came up to help out the...

Bears, I don't think he was saying you huys failed. He was mentioning what someone had said about UPS in a previous post. I would probably agree that there hasn't been a failure with UPS in the expedite field simply because UPS corporate hasn't even tried to give your division some...

Very true, Joebob. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119

Well, maybe I'm being a stickler for wording, but since when does UPS Freight have ANYTHING to do with expedite? UPS Freight is heavyweight LTL and expedite is just that.....expedite. Nevertheless, it could happen. They could have all these new calls routed to them. Then again, it may have...

I wonder if the episode with the deer accident kind of knocked the wind out of him for driving. If not mistaken, didn't he drive solo, then team, and then dropped his guy and went solo again? Sometimes finding the right partner can make or break you. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years...

Well let's see: I've delivered van loads of live rabbits (two to a catton, with dividers and trix), pig eyes for retina transplants, as well as eel tails for artery transplants. The weirdest one was Garden Grove, CA to San Diego Pet Cemetary. Load was a 48x48 bouquet of flowers and wreath to...

RE: lookout big cat peeps ..what will If I'm not mistaken, Colonel Foster said that his company ran some UPS loads, and UPS ran some of theirs. I'm sure he will speak up soon enough. Drive Safe! Jeff Driver for 15 years O/O for 13 years OOIDA #829119
