    A question for fleet owners

    I have this driver, he usually was doing good jobs, but lately he started to act kinda rough, somehow like he is the owner and he's doing whatever he wants to do. I've always tried to be a nice person, to make anyone happy, but now honestly I'm getting angry and ready to fire this guy. He was...

    Good drivers, bad drivers

    Probably it wasn't the worst driver I ever had, but for sure is 100% not to be hired. For the last two weeks this driver had a bad attitude towards me, as well with the carrier. It looked to me like this person either wants to be fired or to rule over me. The last straw was when I called the...

    Bad luck or discrimination?

    Few months ago I tried to put a driver with Bolt, but they rejected him based on a small car crash he had one year ago, where the damages were under $500. Two weeks ago I tried to put another driver with the same Bolt, but once again they rejected the driver because of a speed ticket from 2007...

    Is it CEVA worth to work with them?

    When I spoke with the owner of the company that I'm leased now about getting another vehicle, she said it's ok. Now, after I got a second vehicle, she just refuses to take it. Unfortunately, I got also a driver that I cannot put him to work. Not even with CEVA. They say I must start working with...

    Missing expediter

    I just got alerted regarding this missing driver, which didn't respond to any phone calls for the last five days. He drives a white 2003 Ford E-250 extended, Michigan plate, the van looks kinda dirty, with some rust spots on it. It should have magnetic signs from either Hana Express or Ovie...

    Bolt Express

    I didn't see lately too much talk about them. I've been with them back in '09 for three months, I didn't do good at all, but some friends told me they do much better now. So, I'd like to hear some opinions from you guys, especially from actual Bolt o/o. Would you switch to Bolt from a company...

    Should we worry about?

    Brownstown, MI I was delivering there, when I saw this truck. I knew this trucking company from Laredo, I knew they're Mexicans. Then I saw the drivers, they were team. I tried a conversation and it was a short one, their English was very limited. They were coming from Nuevo Laredo. Should we...

    Do ya believe it?

    On Tuesday my dispatch called me for a run from Detroit to Smyrna, TN. I turned it down. Yesterday, Friday, I was talking with the same dispatch, and she told me how much I missed by turning down that run... ok, let's start it. Another driver took that run, he delivered in Smyrna, then he had a...

    Insurance question

    Hello everyone! I'm really, really pi... mad. Just got the renewal from CIS and surprise, surprise! From $200 they jumped to $580!!! Do ya guys know another insurer? That amount is higher than the vehicle's payment or even than my monthly mortgage. It's outrageous.

    About Nations Express

    Been trying to reach that recruiter guy from N.E., Jeff, but it seems that he's never by his phone, so maybe one of you knows if Nations is adding NV's to their fleet. Also, since the "Q" was launched already, do ya know a company that's worth it to put my NV to work? Thanks!

    Asking the experts

    As some of you know, recently I bought that NV. Well, I reached 11k miles so far in less than three wks, but I am somehow concerned about the transmission. I am rolling on the road, I release the gas pedal and when I hit it again I hear kinda bang and a slight shake. I'm asking this because I...

    Nissan NV

    I couldn't resist the temptation of having a Nissan NV... and I bought one. So far, so good! Much more comfortable than my old E-350, but not too roomy in the back though... well, it takes 2 pallets just like the old one, but there's no space for sleeper... Sent from my SGH-T999 using EO Forums

    Not related to expediting, but this could happen to anyone...

    It happened about two months ago, I had a delivery in Cleveland, and I was deadheading for home (MI). My wife tried to make room on our driveway for my van. Suddenly that Toyota started running like crazy, went through the fence and stopped in our neighbor's house. The car was damaged, as well...
