    'Nuther GPS question.

    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...

    Is it not a requirement to be able to read English

    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 found out what they use and even helped

    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...

    Below Standards Truck Stops

    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...

    Is it not a requirement to be able to read English

    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...

    Truck Stop Directory

    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...

    Rules

    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...

    start up costs

    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...

    HOW TO GET A GOOD DRIVER WHO WANTS TO RUN

    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...

    CB Contacts

    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...

    Love to meet you

    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...

    Is it not a requirement to be able to read English

    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...

    Is it not a requirement to be able to read English

    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...

    Is it not a requirement to be able to read English

    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...

    Love to meet you

    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...

    Express 1 drivers.....hellooooo?

    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 Need Your Help Out There!!!!!!

    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...
