We were in Denton TA and cops came and blocked us in and started asking drivers questions. Curiosity got the best of me so I went to see what happened and found out someone got robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight. This was in the truck parking area.

That's odd we have never had that happen. The flying j in phoenix on 67th street was running off bob tails from the front lot but letting expediters stay. Kinda nice not having to worry about being told to leave.

I understand just wanted to clarify. I wish you the best in your business venture sir.

Just curious but how did you just start an expedite company with no equipment and no authority? It isn't as easy as that. Also rectifiers do not broker freight brokers do. Also you will need your authority,equipment and insurance before you can haul freight. As stated before brokers like to deal...

Also stated is: Employees are told when,where and how to work. So sounds to me if you are told what load to take or where you are to stop for fuel or what town to go to be closer to a better area and it is non negotiable WE ARE EMPLOYEES!

Actually Greg what a contractor,subcontractor and employee are all defined in this manual and not being rude but I would suggest you do research in the book and see. Subcontractors as stated in the manual use their own tools or equipment. Employees do not. Computer programmers really? Your...

Maybe driving a van. I know you don't need one at panther for a van but can't speak for any other carriers.

All this info came from the pub. 17 from the IRS. That is a free manual many in this business are not aware they can obtain by calling. This manual is highly advised for anyone in the business classified as a contractor.

After some research I have determined we are employees because we are running a truck for an owner. Sub contractors are anyone contracted by the original contractor that uses HIS/HER OWN TOOLS to do the the job. If you drive for an owner that is NOT the case. Also if the owner tells you what...

We are looking at about 1700 for the week. Starting next week with a solo run. Be glad if/when we get another team load.

I was a company driver at Prime inc. So I couldn't tell ya honestly.

I am 25 and I started tractor trailer when I was 21 but have only been in expedite since august.

Ok I understand that. I wasnt trying to get smart just a thing of curiosity.

Right on the weight class but it is 150 air miles.

Just curious but why would he want a pickup if he is wanting a class a cdl?

Where will you store these dirtbikes? Lol

The person that posted the video had contacted fedex first. One of fedex big wigs said that they did get the complaint but didn't take the accusation seriously. I would have posted it too, a-team. What good is a damaged computer screen if the shipping company acts like it's no big deal?

Just because he can book his own loads doesn't mean there is freight going near the drivers home. Also in some cases backhauls pay less than a company brokered load.

Don't even know where to start really. Will start making calls when I get home. Thanks John!
