Yeah, I know that the dealers are taking order, but I wasn't sure that they had released any to the market yet. Seems like there would be some kind of liability issue. But I guess the auto companies are the kings of loopholes. Drive Safe! Jeff

Has anyone actually seen an '07 diesel yet? I don't think I have. Drive Safe! Jeff

Hey Garman, I understand your feelings about the customer base of a larger carrier and getting out of "dead" zones. What is dead for one company may not be for another. Personally, I would look into any company that would allow you the ability to obtain your own loads without too much...

I've used a Nextel phone since '98. I've had my OWN contract w/ Nextel since 2002. My field is Florida. Nextel has worked well there, with only a few drop points throughout the state. However, I have noticed a severe drop in service level since the hurricanes of two years ago here. It...

Here is one. www.expediteloads.com It seems that that one has mostly tractor work though. it's not real broad. Drive Safe! Jeff

Hedgehog makes a very valid point. Yes, expediting is not a secret anymore. Is it done? Absolutely not. Time sensitive freight will go on, whether by air or by land. It is a great industry. It is just a fact that the amount of freight is not currently growing as fast as new people are...

Hey, I'm not so sure about any "cool" table in this cafe. I have found that the more you post, the more that others get to know you. If it seems as if there is a core of people here who seem to know one another really well, it is probably because they have been posting on here consistently for...

Phil, I must whole heartedly agree with you about value added service. A carrier may or may not be service conscious, but we can be. There will always be the companies big or small, that try and just undercut a price. I choose to associate myself with those who understand the value of what I...

I'll be honest. I've given little gifts to dispatchers and office personnel. But this was by no means a kickback for them. Usually it was donut holes or bagels on a Monday morning for people I considered co-workers in our labors. Just a way to say thanks for all of their help. Now, if a...

I wonder if they are related to G.O.D. Air Freight, a company out of NJ, I think. From what I know, they recently changed their name to Air Freight Professionals. Drive Safe! Jeff

Hey Greg, Well, I don't drive for C & M, but I have heard really good things about them. I think Broompilot runs for them. You might send him a private message about it. Other than that, the license issue is only one that can be resolved by talking to someone who recruits for them. Might...

Hey Phil, I noticed the old thread. Haha! It was just as heated a discussion then as it is now. I understand that some trucks don't have a generator and need to idle. I am not out of town much overnight with my situation. When I have been, I have idled my gas van here and there if it was...

I've worked for big companies that were hell on earth, and others that were great. Bigger isn't automatically a sign that things are better. I personally don't think that having less players in the field is going to help things in and of itself. When you have load networks, everyone helps...

Hey 24darode, Welcome to EO. Jeff

I hardly see the death of expediting in this. As long as there is time definite needs, there will be time definite carriers. But just as there are a surplus of vans and straight trucks right now wanting to haul expedited freight of any kind,we must understand that expedite cannot grow as...

I am assuming that a diabolical team might do that if the sleeper on their truck was sub-standard for a team? Maybe too small? No amenities?

Hey Taz, Do you happen to have the exact link for this crew van thingy? I couldn't find it. Might be looking at the wrong thing.

I will agree with HotFr8. These days, BOL's read like a legal document. "Received in good order unless otherwise noted" is very common. Usually a carrier gives the consignee 24 to 48 hours to report "hidden" damage. Because when you sign your name, it is yours! As far as peripheral items...

RE: Here is one Hey everyone. Thanks for the responses. I have considered the unicell. I've seen a few various models around town. Just hadn't really found too many people who actually had one. Hey Leo, Thanks for pointing out the standup in the GM version. I downloaded that PDF, but...
