It takes alot of work and dedication to run your own business. First and formost you have to know what it is your doing. Not every Tom-#####- and Harry, that gets pissed off because they have to sit and wait on a load, day after day can go out and start thier own business. As Sini stated there...

Hi Vince, Anyone that is in business and is an o/o useing drivers has to have cargo insurance and if the load did shift and you said you did secure it then his insurance will pay for it. Now he may have $500 or $1000 deductable, that he may want you to split, and you don't even have to do that.

Hi Vejhn, Did you find out about that A.I.G in, yet?

Hi Hawk, Your right about having problems loading them in the front of the box. It is a C unit and a log is required. Most companies want a van no older than 5 years.

Hi Tim, Your right about doing their job, but as Weave stated:They are doing rediculous things such as putting trucks out of service for missing IFTA stickers and other non safety related issues. What if you were running and a light burned out along the way, then you came up on the MAN. He...

What a bummer and on your way home too. Good thing this happened in your home state, or you just may have received that good driven award, along with the R/R. I just heard PA bought 5 new vans for the DOT to use on the PA turn pike. Later Weave and thanks for the reply.

Hi Vejhn. If your an IC and your working for yourself, then you don't need workmans comp, but you need commercial liability insurance. If you have employees then you have to have workmans comp. for them. It is the responsibility of an employer to carry workmans comp insurance for his employees...

Welcome! Go to the classified adds on this site and some of the owners looking for drivers will post an add. I don't know if contacting the companies direct will help or not. There are others on this site that know more about that than I do and will reply to this post with some answers to your...

Hi Rich, and all other posts, There is a lot you guys can do. If you all stop going to the big truck stops to by the fuel it would hit them right where it hurts. Your trucks are small enough to stop in any gas station in the country and by your fuel. If you can buy at the same place on a regular...

That just shows the mentality of that guy. If I was the trainee in that truck one of us would have to go. I would've notified the company ASAP and told them about that degenerate. If your in that much of a hurry and don't have time to pull off the side of the road to take care of business, then...

Welcome to the site Hawk! What took you so long getting here? I'll send you an email when I get some R&R. Later Hawk!

Hey Finbar1, How is it that you and your buddy Paperback1 have the same exact name and live in the same exact place??????????? Could it be a typo??????

If I were you I would call the T A corp, and tell them about him. Then as you said, never to return. Not going to those roach infested T A truck stops is no big deal anyway, or is it?

What is a Wombat?

Hi Pat, I was pulling out of the Toledo Express Airport, last night and as I was leaving I past a pick up truck that had a box on the back of it, and a sign that said CTX. Just wanted to let you know that there are still people out there expediting with pick up trucks. Good Luck!!!!!

>It was probably another retired site seeing part timer >trying to travel and get paid. What I meant by retired part timers is, a lot of our seniors that worked all their lives to get what they have, only for some smart nose recruiter to suckers them into signing on with their company. They...

Hi Michfan, I myself am a Pgh fan. Getting on to your post, the best advice anyone on this site can give to you and your wife would be to take some good old fashion, uniterupted time, and read as much of the achives as you can. You will learn everything, and then some about the expediting business.

Hi Hooligan, I never ment any harm in the comment that I made about the type of work or the capabilities of the drivers. The comment was made by me and directed to Panther II, meaning they have no restrictions. I'm in the middle of doing up a van myself to look like a hillbilly(as was mentioned)...
