I guess that might make good sense in a cargo van or a sprinter. Might not get as good a signal on a straight truck or a semi tractor. You also have to worry more about the driver who unplugs it for the wrong reasons. But, it does sound like it has its good merits.

You might be right, but if you are set up with a good dealer they normally work pretty hard to accommodate the owner and get it set up the way they like. Freightliner in Ypsilanti does some pretty nice work for us on the installs.

Why would they make the qualcomms "portable"? Is this just to save install/deinstall costs? What about the antennas?

I do not believe as of yet American trucks are allowed to cross the border and deliver direct. I think the short lived pilot program that allowed Mexican trucks in the souther US also allowed some US units south of the border. I do not believe any US carriers jumped on the chance. Much like...

Dealing with a direct shipper is completely different. The only real method here is to go through normal channels. You can use a collection service to hound them, or you can have an attorney send them a letter threatening a lawsuit. If the debt is not large they may pay it to get rid of you...

Simply put, how many GOOD reputable solid carriers allow an owner operator to do this? None that I know of.

If safer does not show him as a broker than most likely he will not have a broker bond to file against. You should always check safer and verify BEFORE you take freight from someone claiming to be a broker. Many people will operate as brokers, when in fact they are not. You may not be able to...

Steve Barrett and his team are a pretty good group. We have always had a very positive business relationship with them and they are well regarded. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about them.

To the best of my understanding NY and NC require work comp on owner operators. I do not know of any other states that do.

Just got back in town from a really great expedite alliance conference. Thanks to everyone who sent emails, resumes, and referrred people. I will be getting on them and back to people in the next week! Thanks for everyone's help!

You are right. I think I gain 5lbs just driving bye that place.

Just my opinion, but the cajun chicken sandwich is awesome.

I have no idea.

It is with a heavy heart that I pass only the news that Bob Kittel passed away last night. Bob was most recently our recruiter at Load One, but he had also worked for other expediters such as Thompson Emergency and TST over the years. Bob suffered a brain aneurysm during driver orientation...

Thank you very much x06col!

Celadon....Tom Glazier still down there or did he retire? I worked with him for about 6 months at FTI back in the day. He got out quick, smart guy.

Headed down to Jacksonville Florida area for the GPSNet Expedite Alliance Conference this weekend. Load One is the Platinum Sponsor again this year. Should be a good time with the other carriers. Sure do wish the weather was going to be better.

This is in part true. We were planning on adding a second recruiter, but the medical issue with our current recruiter has forced us to accelerate the timing. It is a particularly sad situation. If any of you knew Bob Kittle our recruiter he was a great guy. Bob suffered a medical...

My bad! They don't have the spell check option in the classifieds. Good news is they have an edit feature! LOL

I will pm you.
