Yeah, I know the company real well...My Dad retired from them years ago back when they were Allis-Chalmers. He ran their parts warehouse in East Brunswick, NJ then transferred with them to their other warehouse in Carol Stream, IL. Batavia is their warehouse for the farm equipment. The Carol...

Have a early 7am pu in Joliet, IL heading for Poughkeepsie, NY with a stop off in Clarion, PA. *very precious "white glove load" *no offense FedEx folks, in fact I'd call it a TLC load. Pay is real good too!

Thank you for the compliment Team Caffee. I'm glad I was able to put a smile on your faces. Hopefully as soon as I get off work at 6am were off back to New York close to where we were for the cruise this past weekend. This time we're driving as mother-in-law and our Husky are going along too...

That is my neck of the woods, used to live in the area....just curious where you picked up at. I've loaded out of a few companies in Batavia, and delivered into E. Peoria. Usually to Caterpillar.

Ok my wife and I just got back from a business trip (for her)/vacation/second honeymoon. This is only the second time we've flown together. The first was when we we're seriously dating and we flew from Chicago to Phoenix for a few days to cover the state and back home and the latest was this...

Back home in Chicago (Joliet). Wife had a business trip and I tagged along. Nothing like a free Celebrity Cruise to innaugurate their newest ship the "Silhouette" IT'S AWESOME. Everything was free including the drinks. Left for Newark early Friday morning, left the port overlooking New York...

lmao, nope just a small, steady paycheck and a good experience learning different parts of Chicago. Went to some interesting places for pick-ups......such as the Shedd Aquarium, Lincoln Park Zoo, Northwestern University Animal Research Center, and off course lots of animal hospitals...even the...

Yeah I agree. Bet it will be a sharp looking van. Still bummed that Ford is doing away with the Econoline series. They will be missed. I am a firm believer that competition is a good thing and one should have choices available to them. I was talking with a fedex delivery driver tonight and he...

bulldog, There is no money to be made in local deliveries, especially in your own vehicle. The money is in long or regional out of state runs. On the flipside, I used to run a local route for a animal lab company picking up lab specimens from animal hospitals throughout the Chicago...

Hey Preacher Rich, Lot's of good advice from a lot of veteran expediters out there. In my situation before I got married, I ran like gang busters running expedited freight. When I got married, my wife wasn't too keen on me being gone for such long stretches of time. Although my...

I hope its soon, I can't wait. I've seen a guy with Try Hours who was chilling at our local Wally World in Joliet, IL off I-80 x130. but left him alone figuring he was sleeping.

The Best company to lease on with is..........The Best company that best fits YOUR needs! for 1. keeping you busy. 2. treatment of drivers. 3. home time. 4. compensation, ie, paid loaded miles, paid dh miles, detention pay, stop off pay, hand load/unload pay, etc...

Give it time, and I'm sure the design engineers at Nissan will tweek it and come out with an extended version of the NV model.

Rob, You got alot of good advice from alot of the people here on EO. Something I learned from a Mentor of mine while I was doing my college internship. He told me "You're going to meet alot of different people in your line of work and everybody has a different way of doing things. But in the...

Ragman, I'm at my office in St. Charles, IL and am going through my business card file. I found the company S.O.S. Special Order Service. I have four different cards from the President to 3 different Account Executive aka their version of Sales Reps. The address shows two the president shows...

Since the carriers I associate with usually deal with outbound freight within oh 600 miles or less, I'm usually out and back and still make a decent living. Besides I have a loving wife and a loyal husky who welcome me with open arms and lots of kisses when I get home from the road!

Pilgrim, I am sooo sorry for your loss. And I realize it's hard to discuss, but thank you for sharing your grief and pain with us, so that 1. We as pet owners are aware of this disease. and 2. Know that you are not alone is this and it helps to talk about it and not keep it bottled up. God...

Congrats on getting a trip finally! See patience pays off! *my favorite quote from "Hill Street Blues"........"Let's Roll..and Hey Let's Be Safe Out There!"
