So many times I see people throw out the subject of the truck payment as far as it reflects to operating costs. Even if your truck is paid off, you still have to depreciate or ammortizethe purchase and ensure that you are putting that money aside for the replacement unit. Having the truck paid...

More important than ever with CSA 2010 coming!

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) will be conducting its annual Roadcheck event this June 8-10, 2010. During this 72-hour period in the second week of June, thousands of inspectors will be examining over 70,000 vehicles.What they find (or don't find) can affect your CSA 2010 Scores...

Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Just a quick reminder to stop and take a moment to remember why and for who we celebrate this holiday. All gave some, some gave all and made the ultimate sacrifice for our way of life. Thanks to all of you on EO that served in our armed forces.

Back in the office from a business trip to Nashville! Few days here at work than headed to conference in Birmingham Al.

I personally do not like vehicles pulling for multiple carriers. I think that it represents a legal and insurance issue. I also do not believe from everything I have seen on these boards that drivers end up doing better in the end. I would recommend you form alliances with other expedite...

Always a good idea to do your homework before joining any carrier. They are going to be your business partner and the decision is one that should not be taken lightly if you want to succeed.

Still seems a bit formal, but it is better than alot of things I could be called! Hope you are doing well Jon!

PS, you don't have to call me Mr Elliott, lol. I am 41 and I was an NCO so John is just fine!

We do a combination of things. Memo's and flyers in weekly settlements Qualcomm and/or Nextel messages Bulletin Board postings at terminal Facebook page EO group Semi-annual meetings Are probably the most common ways we deliver information to our fleet. We also have an intra-lan...

Don't know much about them. They only show one vechicle on the safer sight. They do show 8 vans registered in the alliance small carrier program. Can't say much of anything good or bad.

Thank you very much!!!!!! I will see if we can put points on your Pilot reward card!!

129 fans in about 30 days! Not bad at all.

We have seen the miles per unit and the revenue climb so far this year on our vans and sprinters. We started cautiously raising some rates over the last 60 days. This is a good thing if you are with a carrier that pays based on percentage. I think things are going to stay pretty strong thru...

Never ends....the wonderful world of collections!

My mother always told me when you have nothing nice to say........ LOL

I wish some other carriers would do that with us after we run their loads! LOL

I looked at the site and that is a pretty nice incentive. I wonder if it was brand new? Giving away a sprinter would be pretty cool. Of course the straight truck and tractor guys might not find that the best prize. Years ago we did a 7 day all expense paid trip to Riviera Maya. It was...

We have good numbers for our equipment inspections and driver inspections. For me the goal was to KEEP the numbers good. Too often the only reward or incentive is to cheat the system. I think it is nice to be rewarded for doing the right thing.

Ok, people are going to call me crazy now but we pay our contractors $250 for every perfect level 1 inspection. We have been doing this for the last few years.
