Leo, I don't think the word Donkey was a good word to use for what you was trying to say. Other people was taking it as you was referring to Mexicans. We all know your a very strong Republican that speaks his mind on things. This why I try to stay out of the soap box and other peoples...

Leo as a Republican myself I think this post was way out of line and Racist. I think this post has even made its way on to other Expedite sites. As a moderator you are held to a higher standard than others. I will be calling Panther and asking them for their imput on why they support a site that...

Greg I understand what you're saying. It's not about depending on advance's to be honest. It's more about only advancing a truck a percentage of the line haul only and not the payables. Many carriers do it on the total payables, not the line haul. Good Example of what I'm talking about...

We signed a truck on with Try Hours a few weeks ago and I must say that it has been very nice so far. No calls in the middle of the night from drivers that need fuel because they load 50% of the total payable's of the load on the Com Data card, not just the line haul. Some carriers only load a...

Greg John and Shelly do a GREAT job and even fight for their contractors on claims. We had a tire that came off another trucks and was airborne and hit our one truck doing over $5000.00 in damage to the hood bumper and steer tire. The insurance company wanted to put it as a road hazard so we...

John, Shelly and the whole staff are great at CIS. We have our building insurance with CIS and never have any problems with CIS. John and Shelly are great people that have supported the Expediters Expo many years. Plus they save you a lot of money on truck insurance too. :)

Yes sir as that is what we do. :)

If your carrier puts the toll amount on your 1099 as income you're being hit with it twice. You paid the toll of $10.00 and then $10.00 is being added to your 1099. To not write if off is adding income that you really didn't get. If the carrier adds in on your 1099 then you are okay to take the...

Well, IRT you have to play by your carriers rules or find another carrier. Carriers are finding out that they can make good money off the FSC because there is no law in place that says that they have to pass 100% of the FSC on to the person or company that is paying the fuel. The guys in...

I know a team that I consider friends that have slowed down to increase their truck MPG. By doing this they also saved a lot of money in fuel costs. You would be surprised how high you can increase MPG when you slow down. Team Caffee from FedEx Custom Critical has a Blog on EO in regards to it...

Great to hear John, But you have the understanding and the concept of being on time for a load. Some drivers will go pick up and load head to the truck stop for a sit down dinner when the load is a straight threw load. The load ends up being late because the driver doesn't get it. You can tell...

Like Button for Moots post.

Terry if your ever out west and need a load call me and I will post your truck on Transcore 360.

We aren't hurting Greg, we didn't go from four trucks to fourteen in three years because we was lucky. Panther has been very good to us. Some people just don't see the big picture as to loads sometimes. I have seen people turn down 1.25 a mile plus .35 FSC from Laredo to Mi. Then the driver gets...

You can't train a driver over the phone. That is why I like to hire drivers that have been in the business for some time or put them with someone who has been expediting for six months.

This was my first and last time I put a newbie in a truck solo. I try to always put the with a lead driver in a team truck. I do feel that a lead driver should make more money than a co driver. I remember when I started out Roger and Bill Hunt paid their Co drivers 13% to start. Times was...

I would have to disagree on that one Dave. We put a Newbie in our one truck solo, it was a nightmare. It was the first time we ever had to give money back to a customer because a driver was 2 hours late on a load. I would rather have a driver that has been in the business for six months than...

43 years in the business is a long time. I bet you have about 5 or 6 million miles under you belt on the highways. Good luck and enjoy spending time with your wife.

We do a have a Solo Truck that will need a driver soon. Call our office Monday or go to www.mayfieldexpress.com

I must say some are sitting maybe because they are cherry picking. Our trucks are sitting some, but that is because drivers are turning down 450 mile loads putting them in a better area like Chicago. I know what your thinking. What are they thinking?
