Having given it some thought, I think there is an interesting story in the way that Lawrence went from expediting as an Owner/Operator to the mega-web'sters that he and his staff are today. This little thing we all call the EO Forum is but a small part of the On Time Media empire that Lawrence...

I suspect his contract is, or is like, a lease to buy a vehicle and if he walks away from the deal, he loses all that he put into it. On top of the lease, he is paying the owner of the van $1000 monthly for the privelege of their business relationship, kinda like a franchise fee. Panther-art...

We've had a 42" plasma for four years and never regreted the money spent. I plugged it in during the weekend of Superbowl and was immediately impressed with the clarity and visibility of each blade of grass on the field. My set is actually a monitor with digital/HDTV capability. I have a 6.1...

I'd like to see Lawrence & Debbie, and Jeff Jensen; what say you all?

Rootie: Many folks visit EO, ask for advice and then move ahead and sign on with an ownerwithout heeding any of the advice given. Pardon me if I'm wrong, but I sense you are one of those folks that are more interested in the number of miles you are likely to drive rather than the myriad...

From what part of the baby does the oil come?

I do, and you can also, take your bottle of pills to just about any pharmacy in the country and have it refilled, if refill option is available. I use Wal-mart for my scripts because my insurance info is on their computers and transferring the prescrition from one store to another is a snap...

Sounds to me like the dealer has no clue as to how to fix a problem so he is jury-rigging it so you have a temporary solution to a continuing malfunction. Kind of like a little novacain on a broken leg...feels good for a while. If Mercedes had wanted a cut-off switch on the starter, they'd...

I was involved in a beta test of the Qualcomm telephone about two years ago. The fone was used in concert with the Mobile Communications Terminal(MCT)in our trucks. We would receive a run offer simultaneously on the QC fone and the MCT. The offer appeared on the fone in the same format as the...

too many good ones to have a favorite

Cheri sez she likes a man with a big gun...er..rifle

I don't know whether to thank you or critisize you for your lengthy thread. You seem to have enjoyed your 30 years in the transportation business, then you commence to remind us of the idiocy of the manner in which we leased expediters and those expediters with their own authority conduct their...

Those trailers are like package dumpsters; they drop them off in the morning, the shipper fills them and they pick them up in the afternoon.

I've seen a couple. I think they only have about a hundred at the present time.

We're all rootin' for you and Zak's continued involvement in EO. We thank you for the post and the kind words; that's why all the members frequent this site..to give a little and take a little Good Luck at orientation.

Concur with Broom and Dave on this one. My carrier, the name of which I don't want to mention, makes the occasional mistake but the occurances are so seldom as to not loose a lot of sleeper time over it. We are probably unknowingly the beneficiary of carrier mistakes as we are knowingly the...

This is one reason why written lease agreements are necessary for lessor and lessee to each understand their responsibilities and liabilities. At this point is doesn't matter which States require external controls; the moral of the thread is to ensure all trucks have internal controls...

Good post Broom and a good hint for those that don't feel the need to socialize when out on the road. Bruchar also has a great quote but that doesn't apply in these forums because that's what we do. We tell everything we know; you just have to ask the right questions.
