Forum member Blaaze is a star at supplementing her income through the resale of items she bought at bargain prices. A former Roberts Express van operator sold bootleg cassette tapes from the back of his van to help feed his family. Another former Roberts Express driver sharpened knives with...

>Spudhead911 You seem to be somewhat knowledgable about the FedEx Custom Critical Divisions, but for the benefit of those that are not, I'll attempt to clarify. The White Glove Division is maintained to develop business with customers who require a service that goes beyond general freight...

One of the drawbacks of operating a cargo van is the fact that cargo odor will permeate throughout, no matter how much stretch wrap or plastic wrap covering the freight. I am presently under a load of 1634 pounds of garlic powder, paprika and black pepper, packaged in 50 pound sacks. Every...

Our internet was face to face forums with other Roberts Express Drivers sitting at two or more tables pushed together in a Union 76 truckstop. There were no fleet owners in the early days because, as I recall, Roberts Express would only lease on three trucks per family unit. Most folks were...

Build a 4 foot tall circular, lazy suzan type bookcase onto the seat brackets.

Not quite sure what Suds43 means, but Operating and maintaining a van vs operating and maintaining a straight truck vs operating and maintaining a T/T is like comparing Apples, oranges and pomagranates. Operating a business in expediting in a van is equal to that of a straight truck or T/T; no...

My Garmin came with a metal disc with that 3M trim tape on the underside. With the disc securely stuck to the rough surface of the dash, the suction cup hods the Garmin stand secure. I'd rather have the more movable non-slip dash pad.

comet_4298 - I suspect your Sprinter weights are pretty accurate. A couple of months ago I posted a comment about the 2007 Sprinter weights that I thought was pretty interesting. I saw two different high top extended 2007 Sprinters and each had factory stickers on the rear of the drivers door...

Ditto from Rene' and me. And best wishes to Garcia; I trust he's treating you well

For the new folks on the EO forum, here's a little background on a reason to thank Lawrence, his family and staff for the work they have undertaken to bring sponsors, carriers, owner/operators and drivers to the same table. These are the words on a certificate he received at the 2006 Expedite...

David. I always carry a bottle of Baby Powder in the van for quieting a squeeky belt. I've cured many squeeky belts at fuel islands with one complementary squirt of powder on a moving fan belt. works every time.

We have an acquaintance who has several DR trucks. He believes he has solved the IC/employee problem by only hiring corporations to operate his trucks. He does not just lease drivers, he leases teams who have incorporated themselves and are employees of their respective corporations, not the...

You seem to be between a rock and a hard place. Experienced FedEx Custom Critical White Glove folks earn some of the best money in the business. Note that I said experienced and you may be faced with a lot of negative experience if the owner or his representative is not available to help you...
