For what it is worth. You may get by with it for a while. But, at 15-20% of what business you realized from that shipper the bill would be sizeable when the piss'in contest is finished. Recommend you go find your own customers.
RE: New 2006 International 4300 with 466 engine Be
Actually, the 466 is not a new design. It's been around IH since the 70's, starting being used in farm tractors. It is an excellent engine and well proven, economical to rebuild, and service is available almost everywhere. There are many...
They do write expediters. I'm with them now, but, am going to change this month. Their insurance is high from what i've found. I usad them for 8 years and when my re-up time came this time, I did some checking around for rates and will save about 30% elswhere.
We had the same problem until I started putting the little instruction thingie for placement of the plate in with the Authorities, permits, cab cards, etc. Just saves some time and BS
Maybe, just maybe there are some of us "others" that do flatbed expedited freight. And, you are right it never hurts to ask. Flatbedding won't work for most, because, that's just exactly what it is - work. Way more work than most want.

White Glove?? Ain't they the things those folks wear when they say bend over the table and say ahhhh? "Best of the best" ?? YUK, YUK.

I spoke with a Wallmart driver the other day and he told me I may as well get used to being run out of more and more Wallmarts in the future, thanks to a few slobs that stay there with us that leave the area a total mess. I have even been runout of a couple Casino lots because of this.
I kind of see the problem luv is aluding to, "sending idiots to drive with me". How many times do we see the recommendation that you drive for an owner before you take the big leap. That opens the door for pandora's box you know. Interestingly, I read that same advice given on this site by an...
To get back toward the original post "Alumabunk got me" I'v been reading things on this site for quite a while now. I remember reading some things about that brand way back when that caused some flags for me. However, still today you find people that did in fact read the same things that I...
There might be some decent owners out there if, you look around a while. I recently got in the look'in for a driver mode a little while back and got myself a real wake-up call. Put one cowboy in the truck for three weeks. He missed his appointment in Tx and brought the load back to In "because...
Yep'er I remember the clink going off about 0130 load offer to dh 40 miles and run 23 miles to canada pay offered was $57.50. Took me a while to figgure out why that Tony had me out-of-service most the time. When i did, I went away.
I liked Bob's response about every driver should take their turn at dispatch. Here, everyone, EVERYONE, takes their turn in the "hot" seat soon after they start with us. We practice the total "team" effect here. Just like my old days when my "Ranger Buddies" and I knew exactly what each other...
