The people at Expediters Services are good people and help driver's become truck owner's. Paul and Jason are strictly business and enforce the contracts driver's sign. It's nothing personal, it's business. If a person overdrafts their checking account, do you think the bank is not going to...

Over the years Expediting has changed so much. Everyone now uses cell phones instead of pagers. Trucks have bigger sleepers that way drivers can stay out in the system longer, instead of going home once a week. So with all the changes, what do look for in a Carrier? Is it rate per mile? Is it...

Whats with the name?

Thanks for trying Crich. We have a long way to go on this project.

I hope it's okay to post this on Expediters Online as it's for a great cause. The Expediters Online family donated money at the 2013 Expedite Expo to help raise money to restore the graveyard of the 117 souls that are laid to rest there. The Chapel on the grounds of the former Children's Home...

Thanks Lawrence. I checked my and I had two passing roadside inspections with no points. They went all the way back to 2011.

No not at all, customers should be charged for D-time. I have no problem the carrier charging $100.00 an hour and only paying me 70%. The carrier has to pay office people to call about getting d-time okay and then collecting on the freight bills. As for hand unloads, I fill that the driver...

Yes, fuel was around .93 a gallon. We get a fuel surcharge now to keep fuel around $1.25 per gallon. Yes the cost of fuel has effected everything like food, tires, parts, and yes even toilet paper. The cost of fuel has became the biggest cost of running a truck.

I have a different view on this all together. The carrier is the one paying the sales people that makes the sales calls to the customer in person. Carriers are paying owner operators more now that ever. Back in 1995 we got .10 a mile after hundred miles of deadhead, no tolls paid, no fuel...

I would agree 100% lol

We use Kan Am Truck and Trailer Repair. Their number is 330 467 4808, ask for Lance and tell him Dave Mayfield told you to call. They rebuilt a lift gate for one of our owners. They sent it back painted and looking brand new.

If the driver is paying for the fuel there may be something going in his/her personal life as most drivers won't deadhead 1000 miles on their dine. If the driver has been good in the past I'm sure they can be once again. Call contractor and find out what is going on. You and your Contractor...

Re: Forget I bothered Cheri I agree with what you're saying, but this young lady was upset and vented on all of us without thinking first. We all have done things on here that we may have regretted over the years. With age comes wisdom and with wisdom people will stop doing dumb stuff. I...

I remember this story and I wonder if this driver is still with Bolt? I wonder how many miles the driver got out of that van after this story?

Winter time can be very hard on everyone and drivers should prepare themselves for all the things that can and will go wrong. Here are some things that I always kept in my truck during the winter. 1. Keep extra food and water in the truck as you never know when the highway can be shut down...

It's still September for another 18 minutes

Maybe that is per KM

Wow, I'm shocked but I understand. May God bless you as you make these life changing moments. Please stay apart of the Expediters Online family. At the children's home I lived in Xenia, Ohio we have shirts that say we are family. Maybe we can get some shirts made for all the Expedite Expo that...

I'm not Davekc but I will respond also. The best advice I can give you is to see a lawyer that deals with contracts that knows the laws with the IRS. So, many people right now use contracts that aren't worth the paper they are wrote on. Do your research that is all I can say.

Memphi,Tn on the weekends can be tricky at times, but for the most part it has always been great for us.
