    Airport freight

    I just read your question again, and I will adjust my answer. If you take a shipment to the airport and pay for it at the airport using a personal credit card, just leave the boxes open and let them inspect the contents. Then seal it up and send it on its way. If you accept sealed boxes from...

    CA and AZ check points

    In case you hadn't noticed, we are in fact at war with Mexico. Our citizens are being kidnapped, raped and murdered. Our country is being invaded systematically and our way of life being destroyed, not only by Mexicans but Muslims. In times of war, such as we now find ourselves in, the several...

    just thinking!

    Some freight I get directly from my customer and some comes from a 3rd or even 4th party. I just added another courier company to my vendor list today... could be very good... they just had their only distance runner quit on them. So we'll see what happens. 60% plus FSC with a base minimum $115...

    CA and AZ check points

    Blah blah blah. They have a job to do. They are doing it in a certain area. Accept the fact that they have to look at everyone since the enemy is trying to blend in. Funny I don't recall the constitution using the words "unimpeded travel." Please do correct me if I'm wrong, making sure to cite...

    Waiting at the airport.... again.

    Well, after sitting at the airport for 3 and a half hours, I finally did get something worthwhile. I got to take 6 boxes 220 pounds from a tractor trailer that was sent from 3 hours away to make that pick up at the dock 3 doors down from where I was sitting all morning . I'm on my way to madison...

    Waiting at the airport.... again.

    CA and AZ check points

    Maybe next time he will just comply with the officer's request to search the vehicle. I've been stopped in New Mexico sooooo many times while pulling a reefer full of produce, and it's always a friendly stop. NM DOT and state trooper K9 wants to see the manifest, open the trailer and let...

    Shippers that don't clear snow ice

    I don't understand what envelope you think it is that I'm pushing. Are you somehow assuming that when I chain up I am out there racing around like a lunatic? Assuming that crossing ice with chains on is somehow inherently unsafe is just plain ignorant. God bless you for serving your fellow man...

    Shippers that don't clear snow ice

    Sounds to me like you've never actually driven with chains on. To answer your question about insurance, I have in fact consulted my agent about this very subject. As long as the road isn't closed, I am fully covered. If someone else wrecks into me, if they aren't using chains or snow tires then...

    Shippers that don't clear snow ice

    You won't catch me submerging my axles, that is deliberately damaging your own equipment. But saying you wont throw chains because it's hard on tires is just a cop out. The word "lazy" comes immediately to mind. Sorry but I call it like I see it. If any driver of mine refuses to throw the...

    Shippers that don't clear snow ice

    You go ahead and tell yourself that all you want, but my vehicles will never be hindered by snow or ice, and you will never get paid for a delivery you can't make. You can sit around waiting for somebody to clear the way for you... I make my own way. fired at you from my Droideka

    West Coast Freight

    Oh and one more thing. The other dispatcher for the orange county region is named Tim. He will frustrate you all to hell. He speaks inappropriately to drivers and the owner coddles him like a child. He is a fixture, been there since like 1994 and was at one time the fastest courier I ever...

    West Coast Freight

    I do, but having worked for several others, Orange is three only one I would recommend. This time of year is the slow period like it is for most other courier companies. I always made a very good living there, whether on the road or in the office. Cargo vans tend to do well there because they...

    just thinking!

    Cheap freight is all relative. If I sat around thinking about the $0.90 to $1.10 per mile I get now living in Georgia compared to the $1.50 to $1.70 per mile I used to get living in California, I would go crazy. Instead I focus on the house payment being under $900 instead of over $4000.... and...

    Guess!

    It never fails. Nobody reads what they sign, and then they complain about being "screwed".... If they screwed you then you LET them do it.... so perhaps what really happened is you screwed yourself. It's the same thing as changing cell phone carriers before your contract is up...... :rolleyes...
