    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    Versus a shiny truck we might get more both traffice to have OVM just stand in our booth in those shorts!

    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    Again more good input. Maybe an area to sit down and talk and rest or relax a bit is more useful than having a truck on display. I agree that they do make good storage, but the reality is we all know what a straight truck looks like. I agree with Bruno, supporting the expo is important to...

    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    Thinking about that.... The first year we had a sprinter and straight truck on display, another year we just had an exhibit booth. What are your thoughts on putting vehicles on display?

    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    I will be there for sure. I went to the first one we displayed in about 3 years ago. I wasn't at the next one, and then we took a year off from it. I am looking forward to it and getting to meet some of you in person.

    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    Thanks for all of the great feedback. I think this really helps me to develop what we need for handouts. I also really like the suggestion of having actual pay sheets and actual numbers on hand and ready. I can't agree enough on the professionalism part. We are not as large as some of the...

    Exhibiting at the Wilmington Expo

    Just posing a question to the group and looking for some feedback. What do you like, dislike and what kind of things do you think make for the best kind of recruiting exhibits. We are just working on putting together our plan for the show and I thought I would get some feedback from all of you!

    national city bank

    They have had the new signs on the branches here in Detroit for 2 months, but have had them covered up with banners that still said National City.

    jabez expediting

    They are a small expedite carrier. Our operations department deals with them and I have never heard them say anything negative about them. I think they have a carrier profile on the site which might give you a little bit of history and information on them.

    looking

    Year over year is definitely improved, but you have to put that into perspective. I would say things bottomed out the end of 3rd quarter last year. Fourth quarter say a cash for clunkers boost. First quarter seems to be showing a slow steady climb from the previous lows.

    Satellite communications

    Qcomm service is about $40-$45 for month on the two newer level Qcomm units; the MCP100 and MCP200. These MCP200 has wifi, but this does not really lower costs. What it does is allow for things like internet surfing, video training and uploads. Figure the carrier also has to expense out the...

    All state express driver survey

    Thank you! I honestly think drivers or owner operators are the best recruiters. Good or bad, it is always best to get it straight from the horses mouth.

    All state express driver survey

    Well for what it is worth, I don't think a CEO's time would be best spent if he was on here recruiting. I think EO is a pretty insightful forum. It gives me a place to read and get feedback from alot of different people with alot of different organizations all in one place. I am sure that...

    Wow, those are some great photos. What is even more amazing is when you realize that they are models and have to go back and look at them all again!

    What makes a company good to lease on to?

    I agree. I think this is one of the strengths of the carriers that are part of the "Alliance". You get to work for a smaller size carrier but have a sizeable freight network.

    Hard to argue with that. I am a crackberry addict! But sadly I take my 9 year old daughters ipod touch with me when I travel to watch movies. I am waiting for her to tell me to go get my own!

    Sorry I was slow to respond to this thread, I was out of town on business and hard to do EO on a blackberry, lol. Thank you to everyone for their compliments about the company and myself. It is humbling and nice to see positive things said on EO. It is not like alot of sites that trash talk...
