This is a step in the right direction. I think all comcpanies need to do something to help out with the current fuel and freight situation. I posed a question to understand why folks were leaving E1 and have gotten some very good feedback. Based on that feedback I dont know that this increase...

I really can not answer for LDB but I think it means the following: Cat on back. PantherII decals on the truck and leased to them. Transition Team: This almost always means he moved to another company and that is where the new compnay brings you on board. Regular fleet: He is out there on his...

There is an Amber Alert. It is issued out of Brown County Ohio. It involves three little girls. They are thought to be in a vehicle with plate 3GT244. Last I saw they were thought to be headed towards Oak Hills, West Virgina possibly. That is as much as I know right now. These are very young...

DaveKC is right on with this one. Talk to the Accountant. It is possible to do a lot of tax deducting that you may never think of or know about. I also agree with him about the income. Get all the advice you can and have all your ducks in a row and a real big batch of spare feed. CUZ times will...

Terry, ever noticed how much money we put out or how many things we miss out on because "we are contractors"? I wonder how much is this really is the straight of story. I bet if we simply clearly sign a contract/document saying we are contractors and will not sue for any employee type benefits...

There is an Amber alert that has been issued here in Cincinnati about half an hour ago and I dont see it on here. Is this only an example system or is only National or what? Raceman Owner Two Straight Truck. Part time driver of one of my trucks and local TT. 2 years OTR Expediting 1 yr local...

I made mention in another post that this is exactly how I look at fuel prices. When looked at that way it is still cheap. As for how long it takes to down a gallon of Pepto, over the last two months it has been a gallon a week. Very close to true statement. Very close. :) Raceman Owner Two...

I agree with RichM. 50 gallons will get showers, cash advance, parking if the charge and so on. I have been to that Love's and never had a problem outside of the same thing with price. Too high every time. I really have never had a problem at Loves's at all. Maybe it was a new person or...

RE: Preparing to invest in a new truck & team. Adv RichM, Your BTW question is a good one. I normally would kick in my $0.02 here on carriers but I dont feel good about discussing that at this time, so that I will skip. I will give you my input on the Reefer. Don't do that! Period! Not now not...

I have posted twice about CB usage on the highway. I want to say again that I understand why most have them turned off. I have some recent experiences that almost made me run a young man down and whip is A@@. Well that is exactly why you have them off. Ok I know that. I do want to tell you of...

Leo, I have four people that I will team with also. Two are not ready to leave home, one said something about needing a few million to get her in a truck with me and the fourth said she would as soon as Hell, well lets just say it is not cold enough yet. I think after writting this, maybe I...

You can also call Scott Hancock at Express-1 at 1800-800-5161. He can hook you up with owners there. I will tell you if he tells you call me, I will be glad to talk with you but no need to ask for a seat. I have none open and my personal one is on fire. :) Scott can help you find someone at E1...

I have not been one to scream about fuel prices because of the way I look at them. I compare the price to things such as cola, water and so on and even though fuel cost are high it just does not seem that bad. If you look at what we as a Country do to cause many of our problems it just does not...

I have got a few answers to my question already and I just want to say thanks to you who already wrote and to you who will, hopefully, thanks in advance. Raceman Owner Two Straight Truck. Part time driver of one of my trucks and local TT. 15mon.OTR Expediting 1 yr local Expediting Line Haul TT...

I see some more folks have left Express-1. I have a pretty strong question for these folks and I hope you will take the time to drop me a personal note if you do not feel like it should be left on here. My correct email is [email protected]. This is very important to me as I am at a...

This is my opinion only. Recruiters do just that. I have never put too much weight in what they tell you about miles ran loaded and deadhead. I am a firm believer you need to get the story from current and past drivers. Be sure to understand why the former drivers are former drivers so that you...

I own two of those CATs. I dont know what to tell you. The trucks in general have taking a toll on me the last few months but I guess if I look at them with an open mind, the engines have not been that bad. I will say the are real DOGs in terms of power. They really bog down up hill. Loaded or...

I have never heard anything negitive from drivers I have talked to that for them but I have heard from some companies that they really have low balled a number of bids to get the contracts. If that is true the numbers that I heard would say they are either not making much on those contracts of...

I had to deal with Mr Big Radio all the way home last night. I was running I71 on a return trip and I knew from from trip North that big trucks were the target of the day. On my way North they had trucks pulled over evry mile two and three at a time. I was coming back Soth and could have really...
