I wish I would have approached an expediter before getting in the business. Maybe it would have been an EO member and they would have pointed me here. I'm not saying I would have been an expediter, but I could have I learned I needed a contract. It might have saved me some heartache.

Dennis and Carol Miller who are leased to FedEx Custom Critical are part of this year's Great American Trucking Family. Here is an article about the family. Congrats to these expediters and the whole family. Greg Miller chuckles as he remembers how he created his first long-haul job at his...

For that matter you can consider flatbeds. Just about all of them carry tarps, and they will charge you about 120 bucks for them to put it over your freight. Value adding is what I like to call it. Some loads have to be side loaded or unloaded and need to stay dry. That's where a flatbed and set...

I guess my sense of humor has dried up.

One thing I noticed when driving a straight truck was people asking those questions were not trying to be rude, but just curious and very tactful about it. Plus if you take someone who has been hauling bulk loads all their life they think along the lines of payload and capacity. Then they see me...

I think I have heard the same question 200-300 times.(maybe stretching a little) "I'm am considering becoming an expediter. I am looking at either leasing onto Panther or FedEx Custom Critical because they are the two biggest carriers. Which one is better? Nothing is wrong with those two...

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that "Americans with No Abilities Act" sounds a lot like "Americans with Disabilities Act". I'm not protesting a d@mn thing I'm just speaking my mind, and I'll do it however much I like whether you like it or not.

I take it there is a competetive spirit in FDCC D6077. If nothing else it seems like it would be a great way to kill time between loads.

Just clone yourself and roll with it! :)

I'm just voting against incumbent of no of them are worth 2 turds.

Instead of "men of the cloth" it's "men of the flame retardent".

That van isn't getting a higher pate because it costs more to operate. So it may not be that much more profitable. Plus all that sleeper and extras take away frow cargo space and means loads can't be as heavy. So they could be missing out on some things.

Are you trying to make fun of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? If so I don't think it's funny. See the ADA helps people like me, and many other disabled veterans. Because of it our college teachers and employers can't legally discriminate against us for trying. Because of the ADA I can...

When I was a kid and I saw someone with a nice truck I would tell my dad they must have a lot of money and he would always respond with "or a lot of debt". Of course I didn't understand that then like I do now.

I wonder if it was cheaper to let you have the pads than it would be to have to fool with having someone at the consignee UPS (or however) them back?

I'm more of a yeast roll or cathead biscut man myself, but I liked that. It is oh so true. We need to fix our government where the productive citizens are no longer being punished.

I would say there is enough room at the table for everyone. While it seems the larger companies occupy more of the industry as whole the opposite is true. It's the smaller trucking companies that have more trucks total and provide more jobs to this country than the big ones do. You just see...

Or you could say we need more of those people to be leaders in the National areana. A fellow church member and myself were talking Wednesday about how we need to vote out all these people in Congress and start over. Thosse are the types we need up there.

I hope they wouldn't be that stupid. As much as I hate to say it here this does sound like something out of the book of Revelations. Where it says you will hear of wars and rumors of wars (paraphrasing). I don't know exactly where it is located. I'll ask my pastor today at church. The Rev might...

You've never heard of PB Blaster? It comes in an aerosol can like WD 40. That CLP we used on our weapons in the Marine Corps was good stuff, but man would it stain a t-shirt.
