Trace the box wire (likely along the frame) or it may be visible. Most of the time there is one wire so if it has a problem, it knocks out all of the clearance lights. Since it is just one side, it sounds like they put a splitter on and devided them (left and right) off. It will likely be at...

With all the political talk on candidates, I am surprised it really hasn't been mentioned where they stand on trucking issues. The last vote on the Mexican trucking issue was a huge disappointment as far as McCain. Here is a senator from AZ, and he decided to not even vote on this bill...

My quess is that the ether did some damage. Might have blown an injector tip. Look up around your air intake or around the air filter element and there is a REAL strong possibility there is a "DO NOT USE ETHER" sticker. Hard to tell what damage has been done. My experience, while not recent...

$50 dollar motel would be the least of my worries. I wouldn't want the liability or responsibility of a third party in my truck. Their isn't a load, art work or otherwise that would even come close to cover that potential liability. That would only be a fools game.

Another example of the councils efforts getting something changed for the benefit of drivers. Everyone on the council is to be commended.

I have to admit, I am not really thrilled with any of the choices. It will be another repeat of voting for who will do the least amount of damage. :mad:

Phil wrote Dave, Are we not saying the exact same thing, only in different ways? No number, in and of itself, is meaningful alone. A complete analysis is not complete without gross, net, ROI, CPM and other numbers. The better handle an expediter has on all such numbers, the better business...

I will throw my thoughts in here, but they are going to echo some of what you heard. A ....or some companies will offer you a base plate. As far as time periods or waiting 30 days etc, I have no clue. One should be able to go to the DMV and obtain a plate same day. With that being said, it...

Phil.....do me a favor and don't twist around what I said in another post. I said, "There are numerous variables in this business that can't come anywhere close to an answer by looking at a 1099. Gross revenue numbers mean nothing. It is the net numbers you need. Same with mileage figures. Not...

If just looking at that area, I would call some of the air freight forwarders in that area Some are companies, and some are individual brokers. The other option is to go on a busy part of the day and talk to some of the drivers that are picking up loads. O'Hare is pretty busy on a Friday afternoon.

The reason I don't pay attention to a gross number is that it has no value unless you know the investment dollars against it. What the carrier thinks doesn't necessarily translate into revenue. That is driven by the market and customer needs. Since this is a business, return on investment...

Have to agree. I wouldn't want the responsibility or the potential smelly feet on one of my beds. Not even a option. If the load paid enough, it should have enough for the courier to rent a car and follow.

My advice is to PM or email cheri1122. She is a single lady driver that will give you the straight talk without a bunch of stories and BS. I highly recommend her or Linder. Her screen name is Teamcaffee. She does a team but could give you a very good prospective.

Just a couple of observations. 1. A list of companies and why one left would be somewhat skewed. Why? Because the larger ones obviously have more drivers and that as a ratio would provide more negative posts. Then it becomes, can that ratio of drivers even be used by a small company...

If you are serious about going into expediting, you would serve yourself well to research the posts and the archives here at EO. Then take that information to former, current drivers, and recruiters. There are numerous variables in this business that can't come anywhere close to an answer by...

Aviator writes some good stuff. He has some good posts in the soap box that are excellent reads.

Someone has been rummaging in the cellar:eek:

Some are exclusive and some aren't. I am not aware of any expedite carrier that could survive on exclusive contracts. As a one truck operation it is possible, but it would require a lot of door knocking to find that one client. If you have no experience in the endeavor, I would steer you...

What kind of browser are you using? I just checked, and everything seems to be working? The meeting attachments are the PDF file at the bottom. They seem to be opening ok. I am using internet exploder XP. As for management access, I can't think of anyone at Panther you can't see. It isn't...

Three works for me
