I understand where your coming from Jim. You have always been a great poster on EO. It's just so upsetting that we even called and asked about the things on his MVR and was told he was ok. Then you send them for a drug test which gets charged back to the owner and they charge you for a back...

Naw the recruiter is a very good person. It's just the person that deals with finding drivers for owners doesn't like me for some reason I was told. I don't know and really don't care if they do or if they don't. It's just the job they are being paid to do a job by our carrier that they don't...

Nobody is getting desperate as you put it, if that was the case I just hire anyone. This driver told me up front about his MVR and I called our carrier and asked the agent in the safety department about it. She told me he was okay. So that driver was all ready to come on with our carrier. Then...

That was done when he put on the trucks, no the owner doesn't work for any expedite company. The owner is in the Rent To Own Business. You know like Rent-A-Center.

Jon Is a great man. Good luck with your new gig.

With campanies going away from how many points a driver has on his MVR it's getting harder to find drivers. I had a driver that I wanted to hire and he only had 4 points on his CDL with the state of Ohio but our company said no to him coming on with us. He had a speeding ticket, Running a stop...

This is a very good post. The Smith System is a great tool. To help your remember the 5 key parts of it, just say to yourself All Good Kids Like Milk.

What is the name of the film?

Maybe we can talk to Lawrence about having a Expediter Truck Driving Championship at the Expo next year. Being in this type of business it seems we get the raw deal on the truck driving championships. The ATA Truck Driving Championship doesn't have any real class's for people that do expedited...

Dean I'm sorry that you every signed on with that company. Back in 1994 when I was checking into this business I met with a so called recruiter from CTX. He ask me to meet him at the Burger King on Arlington Road in Akron. Never signed on with them for that reason and thought there company...

Sounds like one Of Ken's trucks, If so he is a good owner and is all about business.

That is very sad that two people died in that crash. The driver made it.

Thats why its better to get a percentage of the run then a flat rate. That is one of the reason's we don't have any trucks on with Panther right now. It's not that they are a bad company, it because the way they have things set up. A small load at FedEx that is 60 miles may pay 200 plus dollars...

The money for us has been the same or better. FUEL is The REAL problem. I was watching a show with Mrs. Clinton on it and she was talking about Oil prices are killing the US dollar and so on. I'm going to vote for her if she makes it. Made better money when Bill and her was in the White House...

Gregg you and me try to agree on things most of the time. But, I would have to say your wrong on this one. As a Fleet Manager for two different fleets. FedEx Custom Critcal does not or will not skip a truck to give a load to a fleet owners trucks. Gregg I don't know what happened with you and...

I wouldn't take that plan either Steve. Maybe $2.00 a loaded mile and $1.00 Deadhead plus FSC for an E-Unit.

Now I think this is neat, your happy about getting a bunk that is less than 60 inchs. Some drivers get upset about an 86 inch sleeper. My 1st truck had a 48 inch Dbl bunk sleeper and I thought it was cool.

I would say all of these people over ther years. Davekc,TerryandRene,Leo,RichM,Dreamer,Teamcaffee, Moot,Trutle,Lawrence,X06col,Ateam,Cheir1122,DoggeyDaddy,RLent,Greg334,Tennsseahawk,Nightcreacher,OntarioVanMan,Pelicn, Jefferson3000,Arkjarhead,Crazynuff,Dhalltoyo,Fastman_1,Tec1959, and so...

One thing you can do to keep your batterys charged when running different things is get a solar panel that RV's use to keep there batterys charged. This panel sits on the top of your roof and will keep your batters charged. Just food for thought.

Our one truck just did a nice Pfizer load out of Memphis, so I would have to say that it not the case. Since it was a C- load.
