    Seeing is believing, right? Take a trip to Europe and you'll be amazed, trust me... I met in Germany many Americans that moved there after they were discharged (honorable discharge, of course) from the Army...

    You're kinda off topic with these comments, but since you mentioned that, what makes you believe that in other countries you wouldn't be able to do the same thing as you do here? I'm not denying that there aren't countries where people are starving to death or suffering from xyz diseases, but...

    Cargo Van Did they act fair?

    Long story short: they paid me in April, they took the money back in July.

    I asked the same question, why do I have to get charged every week another $5 for deposits through Comdata. The answer was short, "because they're working only through Comdata". So, it's some sort of "love it or leave it"...

    I realize that it's slow as slow can be, but when I have to put money from my own pocked to pay the drivers because they have so many charges that cannot be covered not even by the driven miles, TH is no longer a viable option

    Cargo Van Did they act fair?

    Back in April the dispatch sent me for a pickup, not too far from my place, I'd say about 25 miles away. I got there, they had two pallets weighing 1700 lbs each. Originally, when I was dispatched, I was told 2 skids / 340 lbs, so it looks like somebody forgot to add another zero. Now being an...

    Sprinter BLUETEC Problems

    Reason? Maybe Monday and Friday vehicles? ;) The funny part is that Sprinters are the most popular and wanted cargo vans in Europe, while Fords are considered the worst.

    Some Company Training Programs Fail Us All

    You should see them in Western TX, while you drive 80 MPH (for the folks that don't know, that's the speed limit), some big rigs are passing you like a hurricane...

    After being with them for almost two months I can say that I'm not happy at all, and I believe that it was a huge mistake to put some of my trucks with them. Beside their never-ending charges, the pay rate it's not at all what I was told ($1.00-$1.05/mi promised vs $.70-$.90/mi in reality) and...

    Actually it's 3 1/2 weeks. They pay through Comdata, which charges me another $5.00 everytime when they deposit the paycheck into my account.

    Cargo Van CIS news!

    All what I asked for was physical damage and non trucking liability... I talked yesterday directly to a Progressive agent and it was even cheaper than the other intermediary agencies, $500/mo for two vehicles...

    Uber trucking?

    Maybe years ago Qualcomm was a good thing, but nowadays not that much. Yet they're still using it for their own profit, since the service provider is charging around $40/mo, while most of the carriers that are still using it, are charging $30-$35 per week. That's why they won't give up on these...
