    How Will California Budget Woes Affect Expediters?

    As an expediter of time critical aircraft engines and parts, Califorinia's financial woes are of no real concern to us. Ninety-nine percent of our freight base runs from Arizona east. We have the option of declining any CA load that may come our way, and do so without affecting our bottom...

    Sunsets are cool especially when they mark the end of a great day. This is our New Mexico sunset from last week.

    Why is it?

    And so could we in a sense! When we first looked into expediting as a possible carreer change in trucking, we to asked many questions of any expediter willing to take the time and answer them. Being that we were total strangers to them we always refrained from asking "How much money do you...

    Why is it?

    It has been our experience that groups in other forms of trucking are just as communicative as expediters. Especially in the areas of horse and aviation haulers. The conversations are more about types of loads we have hauled,etc. We/they just chose to be more private when it came to asking...

    Why is it?

    I would have to totally agree with you on the "Are they keeping you busy?" question along with the rest of your response.

    Why is it?

    The recent thread "RE:Busy, you bet" has prompted me to finally go public and ask the following questions of the Expediting Community. Why is it so many expediters have to ask: Are you loaded and what is it? Where is your load going? How much does your load pay? How much did you gross...

    "Could you move your truck so I can park?"

    As a T/T driver with over 25 years of experience, I for one will say that YOU did ALL of the RIGHT things in handling both situations! I am appalled at the number of T/T drivers out here today that CAN"T back a T/T safely into a parking space. I'm also appaulled at the number of T/T drivers...

    Have you ever wondered what he's wearing underneath his kilt? Well I aint going there! Use your own imagination thankyou! LOL Seriously, do you ever wonder "what's that truck hauling underneath the tarps" especially when its a really odd shaped load? Tarped loads can be deceiving at first...

    A Question for SUCCESSFUL Solo Drivers

    I do have to agree with my wife. Trying to get Phil to see the errors of his ways is like talking to a wall. It just stands there clueless and ignores you! LOL Enough said!

    Speed Limiters

    The carrier we are leased to is not requiring Canadian compliant speed limiters on the O/O trucks which make up their entire fleet. They rent a day cab tractor at the boarder for the driver to pull their trailer into Canada with. Although its been a year since we left the Fed I have to wonder...

    A Question for SUCCESSFUL Solo Drivers

    Its amazing how some choose to hide behind their "ignore" feature rather than admit they were wrong in their actions! Oh I forgot, some people are always right! My bad. LOL I for one was taught that a man is always to be respectful and courteous towards a female. Sadly there are others that...

    A Question for SUCCESSFUL Solo Drivers

    Gee Greg, I think I'm seeing a pattern here.LOL Instead of (at my request) Phil apoligizing to my wife after being rude to her a few months back, he instead chose to put us on his ignore list to! Guess thats how you're supposed to handle things.

    Songs that describe EO members

    Of course mine would be the song called "The Streak"!:p For quite a while Williams Gaming made "Wild Streak" slot machines using that theme song. The bonus round was seeing how long your streaker could run around collecting points before the cop got em! That was my favorite slot machine to...

    Found it by accident!

    Sometimes the best things are found totally by accident. Such was the case for us this afternoon. Great Texas Bar B Que !!! We had left Dallas with our load and headed east on I-30 when at about the 127mm I noticed a strap flapping in the wind on the passenger side of my load. Not our strap...
