    A wave of new Expediters?

    Yes, it's that "home" thing again. Just think what being "barn sour" costs the current expediters everyday. Many will consider this a "home based" business, and get a real fool'in, steada taking their skills and a suitcase, and get a real job. Somewhere. Can't imagine why someone would...

    I guess i'd have to have an example of what is considered a freebe load. I am not a contractor soooo.. But to my way of thinking, say a load pays(for easy math) $1.20 cpm. You will have about $.40 for fuel and IF your other costs equal that you have $.80 total invested. Leaves $.40 cpm for...

    Gramma, those conditions are without a doubt challenging. I've even seen unleaded gel up. And no doubt there were a number of others on the side of the road. But, why be with them?? As the Moot mentioned, take on a little #1 if you know you are heading to extremes, and your equipment has...

    Kamlim, most of the folks that participate here don't/havn't figgured rates. They wait for the infamous electronic beep, or, a phone call. Of the most, the vast majority of the most, have either had direct conversations, or overheard a veteran say, "I absolutely won't run for less than $XXXX...

    Let's add another tier to the cake of disrespect

    I'd say we'all don't matter, an I don't care. If you like what you see in the mirror, you should be happy as a plum. BTW did you catch the part about the green roads? Jim, yes those type things are available, but, after waiting a day or so (phew) there isn't much energy left to mess...

    "I had to pay Florida tolls in excess of $25." "Had to"??????? Maybe you should take a couple steps back and tink about that. Mabee even check a road atlas out an see if there are any roads going that way that aren't green colored. Could have helped your delima. And, YES...

    What are the best areas for freight?

    OMG, must be my lack of experience in recognizing what really happens in this business. I guess I should have researched what it is really called. In generalizing, rather than a go - no go, whatcha tink it may be called. Grey matter cache?
