RE: Attn: Recruiters,Drivers,and Owners - Need Adv The folks I know will not take you with a DUI in the last 10 years. Seems to me I have heard that there are some big companies in the business, expediting, that may talk to you at 3.5 years. I don't want to throw out names but they advertise on...

I don't see that you answered Tom's questions yet so I too am at a shortage of info needed to properly answer your question. If I base my answer simply on the way you asked the question, the following is my answer. You do not just get a van and assume loads are going to come out of the air. I...

What a question.The answer is that some are and some are not. Everyone is just trying to earn a living. I agree with a few of the others who have answered. Call me what you like, I am just trying to keep my kids in new cars, nice cloths and all the proper electronics.:) It is a job that requires...

RE: $1,000,000 question. What Company is best suit I can tell you from experience, if you want to run Team and that means in my mind, 24/7. If that is what you want and you understand expediting and how to position your truck by accept and decline as well as after a drop. Unless some of there...

I too want to ad my thanks. I have to say other than finding a phone number I once needed this is the best thing I have ever found on the internet, well that I can speak of :) just joshing. I have met many new people, almost sold a truck more than once, almost bought a truck, just once and feel...

A-Team. If you talked to truckers that told you brakes were designed for riding downhill, they were doing one of two things. Being and idiot or assuming they were talking to an idiot. Many big rig drivers tend to talk to new folk or even expediters like they or we are idiots. It is like being in...

Well first of all I do not distrust all others and Scott did not recruit me. I like Scott a lot and am sure he could have recruited me but he did not. I am at a point where I think I can smell the not so truthful truth. Sorry I misunderstood your post. It comes down to presenting an even look at...

No you are not tied to QualCom. You should be able to tell dispatch you are going to be on your cell phone this allows you to get out of your truck for purposes of study, bathroom, laundry and showers, as well as food and so on. I speak at driving schools so if you need to talk to the school...

The best truck stop is my back yard. I can deep fry a 16 pound turkey in 45 minutes or smoke some ribs and the showers are clean as can be. Can't seem to make any money from there though and there is never any fuel. In any case I like the flying hook. Clean and I love the Big shower option you...

Gentlemen and that is you Tom not Scott :) This actually goes back to something I was saying in one of my rambling posts. Sometimes people sign on with a company and then find out they were not given a true story. This could be due to miles, down time or whatever. At that point they need to move...

This may be better suited for the newbies area but based on recent topics, I am guessing a lot of newbies are reading this area as well. If you want to move it I understand. Today was the last straw for me. I have to speak out. I have noticed many folks in staright trucks do not seem to know how...

I am I and you be you. Many people tell me that everday. raceman

Sorry OLdprof, while sharing my own thoughts I did not clearly answer your question. Here are a few tips to doing research. Walk up to every driver you see and act stupid but kind and just ask about who they run for where they run and what they haul.That will help you get info on the industry as...

To find freight that is the question. If you notice in some of my posts, I mention research. You may not like this answer but you do a lot of research and keep a running log of your history. History is a great teacher and in Expediting history needs at times to repeat itself. You will see...

It is me again. I feel strongly about this topic and as a small fleet owner it just drives me nuts to listen to what people have been told. Two more things. I stand firmly behind what I say is my opinion. I say the words change companies a couple of times and someone else says that is not the...

Since we are talking insurance I will tell you that one of my trucks was backed into by a CRST truck in a TA while my driver was in the sleeper. The CRST driver tried to run but my driver stopped by quick thinking and the use of the CB and a couple of other truckers who witnessed it. That is not...

RE: I can't go witout saying a little about this. I have had a number of drivers since April and although I have more than one truck, I only had problems in the one truck. Every driver that got in had false expectations or incorrect expectations. I thought that I cleared it up with each of them...

I too have listed trucks on here and and ran ads for drivers. I have always had a lot of traffic but never and buyers and have never worked a deal for a driver. As for the sales end I have no idea what the problem is. I have had everything from inmates to people that want something given to them...

Hang in there. Let me tell you I have hired former Panther drivers and every truck I have ever owned is a former Panther truck. They are a big outfit and I have been told by former owners and drivers, you better learn what works and learn it quick. They have so many trucks they do not need to...
