I haven't a clue bout the company you mentioned but we get paid a double or triple if it's 3 diffrent companies and usually a drop charge if its 2 shipments to 2 different consignees.

The distinct advantage to running team in a van is like your the ever-ready bunny! going.going,going. No logs no scales! We don't get alot of team runs but when it's busy time ya gotta make hay as they say! With chopchop figures thats 100gs for the van! If I get a flat its a 100 bucks and I...

First off lets say most of the above co's mentioned above keep a portion of the FSC except for Fed-ex. Canadian expedite co's seem bad for this. Nextly I've been with Dynamex for almost 3 years now and a smaller co. out of Hamilton before that. About DX starting an American division let me...

Funny ain't it! Last settlement I was deducted for some detention time a customer didn't pay, he only paid quoted price. BUT on the same settlement I was upgraded to a 3 ton load (customer paid) and wasn't informed of this. Now how does one complain?

Well said Tony!:)

At my company we also have a low base rate BUT the dispatchers already know this, the "good" ones will double us up every 4-6th load where they can to bring up that base rate to make it more palatable. Some would say this takes loads out of the system BUT as the company won't budge on rates, we...

am picking up my 2005 this 17 in Troy Michigan

The egr problem is a done deal on the newer made models my reason is also comfort after 3 yrs in my Dodge we deserve the space ALSO my signed on company will upgrade you to the next pay scale (do a D or C job and thats what ya get) Sooo all things considered it's a good investment for us.

hey now *lol* i am in a Dodge!!!;)

DGreen...Yup Thats exactly it...They took out the spindle yesterday and examined it on the bench. The shoulder was worn and that was causing the inner bearing to get ripped out...unfortunately theres only two spindles in all of Canada!! Red Deer, Alberta and Victoria, BC won't be in till next...

Ok you wizards! *lol* Problem...On my 3rd set of INSIDE bearings, they are lasting about 6-7,000 miles The bearings themselves are wearing in the inside corners of the bearing themselves until they completely fail. SO FAR: changed EVERYTHING! except the spindles... they look good not scored...

TW..It's NOT that complicated at all! If your carrier uses pars system and you are supplied with them. Just ONE on the customs invoice and fax it to the broker, Then call the broker to make sure all is well. IF it is wait the 2-3 hrs and cross, IF invoice is incorrect broker can tell you...

LDB..I'll pump the "friendly' dispatchers and see what I can find. I got a load Atlanta to Windsor seemeds to be an unwanted load the day before X-Mas. go figure....

Someone mentioned about uncovered loads...There is a load board for expedite only called "The Alliance" We are picking up alot of runs back to Canada from it.

whitewolf53.....good luck:)

Nope Mike....he was doing this just after I started almost 2 years ago! We still get the odd Elite customer cuz DX keeps separate pro numbers from our own regular sequence. I think he was pulling a fast one using a Detroit terminal thinking he sold a Canadian company not realizing DX is a U.S...

Well, We've made about 15 or so crossings since the new rule and quite honestly the crossings have gone rather painless and a bit swifter. Alot of our shippers now have onhand a fax machine and is readily available. Or we stop in the DX office and fax it from their as the office is just off the...

As the story goes Elite AND thier client list was bought out by Dynamex ,Cambridge 3 years ago. The owner has started using the name again and going after old customers! Dynamex is presentingly taking this guy to court. If DX wins this you could find yourself unemployed. Ask your O/O about this...

Yes, Saturday just past Detroit gave me my paperwork back except for the manifest. On Monday, Port Huron kept all paperwork.

I know you people like me have been at a broker and a driver will show up with nothing but a B.O.L. !! When told to make out an inbound manifest It's like A WHAT!....How can companies treat(even a FedexCC driver once but he was from the south a 1st timer) these poor guys like this is beyond me...
