There is a lot more to this type of work then just throwing a price out there just to stay competitive. I see you are hiding your profile. WHY!! If you are a true business person then why hide it. You are asking for a price, but don’t say for what. You don’t even say what type of truck you...

This reply has no relevance to the question, but I just wanted it to go on record that I too was once a Nextel subscriber, and I now use Verizon. I have my reasons for switching and Nextel knows why.

How is it that moister gets into the inside of the tire? Yes it will clump up if that happens. I took a risk and went with the powder and so far so good. I don’t have any shaking or vibrating at all. This seems to be working fine. I just hope it continues to do well.

I don’t think that’s it at all gump! Although a lot of people have strayed away from expediting, for something else, there are 2 new drivers ready to take his/her place. I get to see the number of trucks running, because I’m on the road 5 or 6 days or night every week. I’ve seen more trucks, in...

Hi Weave, Louie You bring up an excellent idea, Weave, and you hit the expediting theme right on the head, Louie. I know you are reading this also LM. Is there any way you can set the forum to repeat this thread as Weave ask, say every 120 days? I know in outlook a reminder can be set. An...

HI Zing! I only have 1 or 2 myself. If you email me your address I will personally see that you get one. Sometimes LM goes out of town on business, and /or has so many other things going on, that when delegated it may be over looked. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for the over site.

Hi Gang! It is now the second quarter of 2003, WOW! Can you believe it is already the 18th of April, and for some reason my instincts are telling me its time for our loving host to sponsor another contest of some kind, on the forum. I am willing to bet that if someone came up with a good old...

x06col Is this for real??? You did this? Do they make any noise? If this really works I will try it. I like saving money. What other tips does anyone have? }> x( :7

Hi All. Here is a typical week for me. As most of you know My work is a little different than most. Although I have met guys/gals on the road that do the same type of runs, working for the bigger companies. I’ll give you this weeks activity for most weeks are very typical, maybe a stop or 2...

Why isn’t this thread flying off the board. This is an excellent way for one another to get to learn how we came to be expediters. There are 1180 active members and only 21 have replied, counting the threads in part 1. Don’t be shy!!! REPLY!!!

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! This one really received the controversy. I just want to know what DoWop thinks? Can you make a living at this or not??? Rob you are right about the spin, and Louie, I believe there is some truth to what you say also. You know Rich I think like you do on this matter...

Most of the complaints you are hearing from the drivers about going into NYC, are as follows 1. The tolls going into the city are very costly. 2. 53 footers are not allowed, and get big fines. 3. The traffic is bumper to bumper 24/7, therefore making it very hard for a big truck to move about...

Hi Louie, Here is the link to Who is in that truck and why?--- Part 1 http://www.expeditersonline.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=765&forum=DCForumID1&viewmode=all I thought the new members would like reading some of the old replies.

Hi DooWop Where in you post or what in your post gave you that idea? You have to remember where you are. This is an informational forum. Well for most of us it is! I will only speak for me in this reply. When addressing a thread I reply to the thread of that person. Your post had many...

RE: indepedent contractor drivers have no rights! Yes! You are right about this being the forum to post your thread. Venting is good, when done in the proper format on a public forum. I know there are many people on this site that can relate to your thread. I disagree about it being a bit late...

x06col I’m on your side. This isn’t some family outing or some site seeing trip. Expediting is a business, just like going to the office or working in the mill. If you worked in an office would you take your kids there? Although it would be a much safer place for the child to be. Your boss would...

You didn’t have any deductions? If you have or had deductions your net would be a lot less. Don’t know why I ask that Q. If I’m not mistaken tax as a rule of thumb, come to about 33% So if you grossed 40K, and netted 30K, how can I do that??? Sound to me like this owner pays all your expenses...

FYI: There are many Canadian drivers on this site. I'm not one but just wanted to let you know. You may want to post you Q in the other sections of the forum. This section is about truck talk and the others are overall more visited and may be seen quicker.

Not long ago Expediting was a very good money making field, in the transportation profession. People got into this because a driver could make some really good money. Now (in my opinion) people today are getting into Expediting for all the wrong reasons, and I point the finger at the way the...

RE: indepedent contractor drivers have no rights! Very interesting! Not to be rude but why did you post this? Do you want help with doing something about it? Did you post it as a precaution to other drivers? Or????
