My GPS gives me a location exactly where I am sitting. Well i can clearly see me on the map and it is very accurate. Simply walk in and ask for the street address if for some reason you need something like that but it shows exactly where you are. Most of the time I just look around if the...

RE: Is it not a requirement to be able to read Eng I think my arguement is, this is the United States and our language is English. If I go to another country and can not read the signs because I do not read that language and I have an accident of some sort as a result, I sure would not be upset...

I mentioned in a POST once that when I needed decals removed I went to Freightliner. I also said how good it was. Well, as many of you know, I have left Express-1 and am selling the last remaining truck I had there. To put it on the lot I had to have decals removed. I was watching Spiffy easily...

Hey T Trash, I stayed there once. I think we are talking same place. It was near Cleveland Tn and had the gravel lot and bad odor. They also sold fireworks if it is the same place. I think the once I am talking about was called something like BigBobs. I also found it to be funny that they sold...

RE: Is it not a requirement to be able to read Eng Well, that seems to clear it up. Now I just need to know how these three who were getting physicals got jobs. Any idea on that? Now that I know it is a must, I may just share the fact that they are doing it without the ability to read or speak...

I may not understand exactly what you are looking for but what I did is to get on line to each truck stop company. Most offer a printable version of all their locations. It shows number of showers, number of parking spots, and food sites associated with them. I printed each one out and have a...

I think that if you use this forum as though you are speaking or writting to freinds and respect the opinions and input or feelings of others you will do fine. It is correct you can read this as you sign up. The key is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. In other words don't...

Well, single, no kids and solo are all good things in this business. I will tell you I have gotten to the point where I get nervous when people worry about day to day expenses and start up costs. Now before you get ticked the reason I say this is because what ruins many people is they try to...

Well, I know how to find drivers that will run very hard and be mad when you put them in a hotel all expenses paid while you have the truck they are driving fixed. That is the easy part. What I dont know how to do is find hard running drivers that will bring trucks back in the shape they picked...

I too like this idea of a channel. I think maybe best as well. However I will use whatever is picked. How about the author of this POST just picking the channel and then we all buy in and maybe EO Staff could somehow list it so everyone knows even if they have not read these POSTS. I ran to KC...

Tell you what I do is Squelch it back to where I do not hear all the crap but do catch enough to know when to listen. Helps with traffic and Smokies. I always yell at any Expediter I see. I would say 1 out of 10 answer back. 1 out 30 may be able to talk or even get a cup of coffee or meal. I...

RE: Is it not a requirement to be able to read Eng I hear you. It simply, flatout, no doubt, concerns me. Not just the driving issues but all that you kind of cover in your first reply. This is getting out of hand. Who knows where and when it will all end Raceman Owner Two Straight Truck. Part...

RE: Is it not a requirement to be able to read Eng I understand your note. I dont understand how folks are navigating when they can not read the signs etc. I don't see that as descrimination, I see it as a necessity. As a business owner I don't see that it is the best idea in the world to put...

One day this past week I had to stop in a clinic to get my recert of DOT physical. I love doing that. I only wish it could be more often. In any case, while I was waiting for my turn, I could not help but notice something odd. Four Mexican drivers that could not read the form and required...

RE: Epedited Experience vs Life Experience vs Truc I did go back and see the paragraph note and I have taken note. I thank Lawrence and Leo for pointing that out earlier. I have no idea why I was doing that. Not paying attention or thinking. Thanks I will keep my eye on it. Raceman Owner...

Thanks Tony! I am far from whining. I love what I have done and what I do. I simply was enjoying some stories with others. I have never creid about any decision I make. I am a big boy and I sleep in the bed I make. I have done my best to take what has been less than a great 3 or 4 months and...

Finney, That sums it up as well as anyone could have. I hear you loud and clear and I agree. I always am hoping that expediter beside me, behind me, in front of me etc. is someone from EO and if we stop at some point we can introduce ourselves. I rarely get answer back from any of them I shout...

I am pretty lost on this entire post but let me say the business overall is pretty darn cool and you can make money at it. As for oreintations and questions and companies etc. The business is kind of odd that way. No place I have ever been has liked to be questioned, you pretty much get told...

I suggest you contact a O/O who goes by BroomPilot on here. He bought the best of everything and went to FedExCC. He can tell you of his experience. It is my opinion that if you run as a team and you run for PII, FECC,TS you will do pretty well. When I ran teams with TS the miles were great. My...

I dropped you a note asking what it is you are looking for with your POST. You did not specify what info you are looking for. If you wish to clarify I will be glad to share info with you. Raceman Owner Two Straight Truck. Part time driver of one of my trucks and local TT. 2 years OTR Expediting...
