we just came off a run where the MD, DE, NJ tolls equalled exactly the toll money included in the run offer. Probably a coincidence but I suspect in the long run we'll even out where the toll money paid to us is less than the tolls. It doesn't seem to make sense to route us around the toll...

BB Back to the basics. With FedEx Custom Critical, you are given an indication if the Qualcomm offered run delivery time is "confirmed" or "not confirmed". On the telephone offers, you usually must ask for confirmation details. When the run offers show "not confirmed", it means that the...

One Post Wonder aka Drive By Poster

I think such a rating would serve little purpose given the anonymity this forum allows. A driver with a company for only a short period of time would likely not yet have the experience to render a useful opinion and that opinion would likely be negative. Persons like Rene' and me, who have...

LT1950: Now that you're a member of the EO community, your husband will be in the thoughts and prayers of all the rest of us until you hear the good news that he is cancer free and ready for a team run to the destination of your choosing. If you are near Cleveland, OH on 19 October, you could...

One of the most popular places, and the place that probably has the most experience installing their products in expediter trucks, particularly vans, is Espar of Michigan. A search of the Forums will eveal many happy customers.

Flippin, AR is only 120 miles from Toad Suck, AR, another great tourist destination.

I sure concur with all of the above. We've seen more than the normal amount of OPW's in recent weeks. It would greatly improve the forum's if they would look, think, and contribute in a manner consistent with the character of this site.

EB: Your beef should be with your truck owner, not FedEx Custom Critical. You were hired by the owner. You are paid by the owner. You drive the owners truck. Your only relationship with the carrier is that they agreed to allow you to be the agent of the truck owner for the purpose of accepting...

COSTCO at home had their Christmas/Holiday/Winter decorations for sale in late August...and folks were buying.

With self adhering placards, I peel off the backing, cut a couple of inches off two of the perpendicular sides of the backing and replace it to the sticky side of the placard. This gives me a one inch stickey border around the placard perimeter which is sufficient to keep it in place. The...

DOT regs require shipper to supply HazMat placards

Having a GPS unit with truck route feature option is important for vans as well as trucks. We van drivers need to be routed around the Parkways that do not allow commercial vehicles of any size. This is particularly important in NYC. Automobile-only GPS units will always insist the use of a...

Scott: Good advice from two experienced expediters above. With the current expediting environment for vans being in a static mode, this is not a great time to bring a van into this business. Many of us with years of expedite experience are managing to cope with the slowdown in van usage, but...

DOT legal sleeper in a van is a misnomer as the vans do not fall under DOT regulations unless carrying a placarded hazmat load; therefore, any sized sleeper in a van does not violate any DOT regulations. BTW 24" by 75" with restraint would otherwise meet the requirements

I had two Magellins. One broke and the other didn't have the features desired. I now have the Garmen c340 and love it. It has features for truck or auto. The diff between the 330 and the 340 is a the ability to buy a radio receiver compatible with the 340. It alerts you to road hazards...

Typically grest advice from all of the above. With regards to your Nashville workshop question, I'd say if you live within a comfortable drive to N'ville it would be worth your while. There are usually anywhere from 25-70 folks at these sessions many of whom have made their go - no go...

Doesn't seem like a really nice owner to me, albeit a nice person, perhaps, but not a nice owner. I think that an owner that won't take a bit of time to determine your fair share is an owner that should be given a second look.
