    How Did You Discover Expediting ?

    First time I tried it back in the spring of '96. My truck (18 wheeler) was in the shop, and instead of just sitting home, I said let's give it a try, since a neighbor needed a driver for his Vandura leased with Roberts Express. I didn't like it. But in Oct '97 I bought my own Savana extended...

    Anyone know the name of these companies running penske cube vans?

    Maybe some don't have even an MC#... I met once a guy that was working directly with brokers, claiming that since he is under 10K lbs, he doesn't need any authority as long as he has insurance that covers all, including the freight...

    What methods do you receive load offers by?

    Yep, a text message with the load offer would be the best way to get informed. Lots of dispatchers are real pushy over the phone, yet it's the fastest way to find out if you want the load or they have to check with the next in line...

    1 Million points question :)

    Even with their insurance, I believe they're by-passing my trucks from time to time.

    According to the law it's 45 days. My lawyer confirmed it.

    No, $200 is an yearly processing fee for each truck. For adding or switching a driver is "only" $50...

    I reviewed the contract, indeed they only require every driver to have occ/acc, it's not specified "through them", but when I tried to get my own occ., they said that it must have some coverage that only their provider has it. BS. Then they have a $200 annually processing fee. What for, only...

    1 Million points question :)

    The only reason I see for that escrow is their old QC's, worth maybe 100-200 bucks. Yes, they're still using those bubbles on the top of the van, and from what I know they barely got few dashboard antennas (first models, of course). There are no fuel taxes for gas units, while claims of any kind...

    1 Million points question :)

    The contract states a processing fee of $200, which after one year I found out that actually it's yearly - just like that. Other than that, no other fees, except of course that scam named QC and the second scam named occ/acc. Why I call occ/acc a scam? Because I can get it for less from other...

    A message to brokers and carriers.

    If they're not busy, they pull over once in a while these yellow cube vans... but certainly not as many as they're supposed to...

    But the worst experience was "cry hours", besides the fact that I received the escrow after more than 90 days after I pulled my truck(s), the check was slashed at their free will. At that time my lawyer told me to sue them, but for 2-3K I considered unworthy the action.
